The joggling life - Shoe Review Reebok Premier Ultra

Finishing the Madison marathon means some time off. Unfortunately, it is not exactly easy to go from running and juggling 40 miles a week to 10. But it does give me a little extra time to post things on my various blogs. For example, a shoe review.
Being a multi-marathons-a-year runner and joggling [...]

Madison Marathon Race Report - A Joggler Heats Up

Final time - 3:57:00
A bit of a disappointing time, considering that I was attempting to run a 3:10 or faster. I was done in by the 3 H’s…Heat, Hills, and Hubris.
Heat: At the start of the race the temperature was 79 degrees (27 C for you international fans). That was at 7:30 [...]

The Evening Before Juggling A Marathon

Just before I leave I wanted to get in my last post. I added up the numbers to see how well I did versus my training schedule.
I was following a 17 week schedule that required me to run about 670 miles. However, I ran about 564 miles (500 plus joggling) for a shortfall [...]

Joggling Jitters - The Eve of Marathon Eve

Joggling Hazards. The picture is what happened to me when I tripped while running in Vegas. I was 5 miles into a 10 mile run. It was hot. I was bleeding. But I ran back and kept joggling. If I can do that, the Mad City Marathon should be no [...]

Madison Marathon Countdown - 3 Juggling Days To Go

Before every marathon I like to weigh myself. It is just a truism of running, the lighter you are, the faster you can go. If you want to get fast, you have to lose weight. Yesterday, I weighed in at 186 lbs. For you international folks out there that’s about 84.4 [...]

Only 4 Days Left Until Joggling In Madison

In the last few marathons the training schedule I’ve followed required that on the Wednesday before a Sunday marathon, you do a 10 mile juggling run.  Granted, it’s a slow 10 miles but it’s still 10 miles. This new training program only requires a couple of miles.  It will be interesting to see whether [...]

6 Days Until Running and Juggling Madison

Today, my wife and I went running together. Well, she was running, I was joggling. We did 2 miles together, then I ran another 4 while she went home to cook dinner. We make quite a pair going along the sidewalks of the Bucktown neighborhood in Chicago. Lots of people smiled and [...]

7 Days Until Running and Juggling the Marathon

This morning I joggled a quick 4 miles around my neighborhood. The weather was perfect for running, sunny and cool (50 F). I nearly had a drop when a pigeon flew into the juggling pattern but I made a nice save. As you may find when you begin your own joggling adventures, [...]

The Just Your Average Joggler Story

I learned how to juggle while in 5th grade. A couple of hippies came into our school and taught everyone how to juggle with scarves and beanbags. After learning the basic pattern I was hooked. I got pretty good at 3 balls and kept at it through grade school and high school. [...]
