The Odor of Effort
A few weeks ago, we were having a great #RunChat on Twitter when a very interesting question surfaced, something like: do your running clothes smell or stink? Boy, did that trigger some interesting discussion. If one’s running clothes do stink, can you say it’s the clothes’ responsibility instead of the runner? Or is the runner […]

Happy Spring y’all! Spring has Sprung! It sure feels good to have winter behind us, doesn’t it? This will be brief because we are in the middle of March Madness! Lots of running and walking here. Interestingly enough, my new vivofit arrived yesterday just minutes before March Madness basketball started! vivofit is the Garmin equivalent […]

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to all! St. Patrick is a very special saint for me because 1) I’m Irish by descent with ancestors primarily from County Cork, Ireland (southern Ireland); 2) my middle name is Patrick, same as my Dad’s middle name, my grandfather’s middle name, and my third and fourth grandfather’s on my dad’s […]

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears: Remember the “Beware the IDES of MARCH” line in Julius Caesar (Act I, Scene 2 for us Shakespeare geeks), the famous Shakespeare play? Caesar foolishly ignored the warning of the soothsayer and the rest is history. Well, tomorrow is the Ides of March (March 15). And running is […]

As a runner who wears and loves Mizuno (Wave) running shoes, I’m really excited to hear about the Mizuno research and movement centered around “What if EVERYBODY ran?” There is a Twitter Chat with FitFluential and Mizuno about this tonight at 8pm Central. See link for more. What do YOU think life would be like […]

Let’s talk seriously about mountain climbing and chasing dreams. Sometimes (like amidst a frigid polar vortex) as runners we seek out epic, tough challenges, to dream big, to truly get outta Dodge, “leave town” and take on something that really stretches us. An adventure race. Or at least a great adventure. Besides, running the same […]

Forgive me for my excited exuberance for the beautiful country of Brazil but I ran there virtually today for 12.71 miles and had a blast! This is how we Midwesterners beat the polar vortex-we run inside (in warm, tropical locations if possible) when it’s just too cold or impractical to run outside every day. So […]

100 Day run streak complete! I did it! Starting with November 19, 2013 and run-streaking to today, with a 3.13 mile treadmill run along the virtual banks of the Hudson on the New Jersey side, this 100 day run-streak is history! I really wasn’t sure I could do this. I knew 60 days was possible. […]
