Word has it that Michal has joggled a 10K in the amazing time of 36:27. It sounds like a new world record to me. Congratulations Michal! You certainly have raised the bar in this crazy world of world class joggling. I was happy with my own workout yesterday (6+miles in 42 minutes) [...]

Today was a challenge to get out and do my scheduled 14 miler. The problem was that there was a steady drizzle and the ground was riddled with puddles. To top it off, the temperature was a little chilly (64F). But with some added motivation by my wife, I went out with [...]

While I’m not officially connected with any charity, here are some things that I think are important.
1. NPR - I’m a card carrying member. This is some of the best radio programming around.

But when I’m ready to try some new ones for cheap, here’s a website that tells you how to make your own juggling balls. It’s written by [...]

Yesterday was a straight-forward 6 mile treadmill run completed in 45 minutes. This was all I could get in during my lunch hour. It felt good to get back to running after taking monday off. I really don’t like to take any running days off but sometimes my body just tells me [...]

This past weekend featured the last really long run until the marathon (only 19 days away). On Saturday, I ran 10 miles and on Sunday I ran 20 miles. That was a lot of joggling. The weather was beautiful, my legs felt great, and both runs have given me great confidence in [...]

I don’t know about my fellow jogglers and marathon runners, but there are days when I just don’t get a chance to run. The reason is never that I don’t feel like running, it’s just that I don’t always arrange my schedule to ensure that I run. It’s always tough to get back [...]
