by Average Joggler on August 27, 2010

UK Joggler Tim Butler is branching out and joggling with clubs. Here is a short clip of him joggling the Newark Half Marathon. He reportedly finished in 2:24

So I read this book about thinking like Da Vinci and there was an interesting exercise suggested. Write down, in one sitting, 100 questions that you have. The idea is that you have to get all 100 done in one sitting. Somehow that is supposed to be beneficial to the exercise. Anyway, I was on [...]

But if [...]

10 Benefits of a Running Group

July 30, 2010

Yesterday for my 617th joggling day in a row, I did something that I rarely do. I ran with a running group. There is no particular reason that I usually run alone except for the fact that my joggling is unscheduled. When I want to go, I want to go. Perhaps it just doesn’t occur [...]
