While I’ve posted lots of things about running, I haven’t posted much about learning to juggle. That’s because it’s a thing that is much easier to teach someone in person. However, I found this great website run by some pHD student that endeavors to teach non-jugglers how to juggle. Just click on [...]

The speedster joggler is at it again. Michal Kapral is trying to break the world record for joggling a 5K. The current mark of 16:55 set by Kirk Swenson has stood since 1986. These were the early days of joggling. You can read all about Kapral’s attempt at the Nissan Foundation 5K in Toronto.

Ok, maybe Milwaukee isn’t really a “foreign” city but it is certainly different than Chicago. I once joggled their marathon, and while I really enjoyed the free-flowing kegs of beer at the end of the race, there could’ve been a lot more cheering support along the way.

Since there is no official “joggler circuit” or “joggler league” there really aren’t any official rules. But if you are interested in trying to break a world record, the folks over at The Guinness Book of World [...]

At long last, I’ve got a new pair of shoes. The last pair of Reeboks have been officially “retired”. This means that I will use them as my daily walk around shoes. It also means that I’ll have to figure out something to do with my old walk around shoes which were [...]

I just returned from a 5 mile run and I feel sketchy. It was not a great run. Sure, it was a bit warm 78 F (25C) and muggy, but a runner with my experience should certainly be able to do better than I did.
The problem was that when I woke up this [...]
