Mesa is not a happy camper. She hasn’t been run much lately since a lot of my doubles have now been cut out (she probably ran upwards of 50 mpw during my high mileage weeks). So… to use up that pent up energy, she has escaped from the house on two occassions only to come back covered in poop.
Awesome.

This should be interesting – 5k on the track tomorrow morning. 10:45 in case anyone wants to come watch/cheer! I am looking at this as a chance to see where my fitness is at. I ran a 17:52 here in 2011, the year I qualified for the Trials in June. I’d be pumped if I…

Today I was significantly faster. 5:45-7 into the wind, 5:32-5:37 with the wind. Yikes! Best part?…
I can’t run a marathon on this leg. I’m calling the doctor tomorrow & will wait to see what she has to say. There’s no pain anymore and I don’t feel out of place any more — the leg just doesn’t fire like it used to. So, does that mean I’m making progress? Is it…
Two weeks ago I was invited to a VIP event to preview Cafe Zupas, a new restaurant opening in Woodbury. I could bring a guest, so I called up my Aunt Kathy who lives and works in Woodbury. She actually works just down the road from their location, so it was perfect! If you’ve been…
Flip Belt and Wojo wallet: Two unique “runner” products! First, I was asked to test the Wojo wallet. At first, I was pumped. I’ve always struggled with carrying cards (especially hotel key cards) and cash on a run – they always get really wet and I wonder if either 1) the key will still work…
