A day late, but here’s what my schedule looks like for the week. Monday: Rest Tuesday: 4 miles easy, lift Wednesday: Speedwork (6×800), yoga at lunch Thursday: Lift Friday: 5 miles easy [Note: I have to fast for a doctor's appointment this morning and early afternoon, so this will be an early, early morning run].

By: Christopher McDougall Rating: 5 stars (easily) This book was singlehandedly the best book I’ve read all year, and one of the best I’ve ever read. So first, a huge thank you to our friend Michael, who gave us this book last year. This book tells the story of the Tarahumara Indians, a native population [...]
Today, I was scheduled for 8 miles at an easy pace. After staying up *way* too late last night watching Buffy and working on the blanket I’m making, I finally dragged myself out of bed about 9 to set out. By the time I actually left, it was about 75 degrees and sunny–a 180 from [...]

This week will be a challenge comparatively. Goal is to get my body used to more runs in a [...]
Your favorite quote. Pain is temporary, pride is forever. In my life, I’ve run six marathons, five half marathons, and two half-ironmans. In every one of those races, I would think of this quote, and finish as strong as I was able at the time. It’s 100% accurate. I started running in the fall of [...]
Two weeks ago, runninshoewarehouse.com had a clearance sale. Now normally, I buy shoes from Fleet Feet Raleigh or Road Runner Sports. But RSW.com had a better deal than anywhere else on my Omni 8′s, and they also offered a 25% off coupon for all sale shoes. Add free 2-day shipping and free returns, and you [...]
So I’m skipping ahead from the last post, and I’ll go back when I’m at home next weekend. For now though, I wanted to tell you about my first day of my Phoenix trip. I’m here for the 2010 Equal Justice Conference, sponsored by the ABA at the Pointe Hilton Tapatilo Resort. It’s a gorgeous, [...]
My run was great. I’m just getting back into running after a pretty serious hip/pelvic injury that had me sidelined from most exercise for six months of 2009, so I’m on a gradual progression to build strength and lung capacity again. Today was 3:2 (run:walk) for 30 minutes–2.5 miles in that time. It was cold [...]
