Four miles to the finish

Ouch.
That’s the first thing I thought waking up this morning. Ouch. This joggler’s legs are sore. Yesterday, I did the first double digit mile joggle in over a month. I seem to have forgotten just how far 15 miles can be. Or maybe just how sore 15 miles can be.
It [...]

A study in motivation - beyond numbers

About 2 weeks ago my joggling stats for the year showed 63 miles were needed to make 1500 for the year. Originally, 1400 was the goal but being so close motivated me to try for 1500. I’ve never joggled that many miles in a year and finishing them will provide a feeling of [...]

Three days to finish your 2006 goals

Yup, did 8 miles joggling yesterday which means there’s only 26 more miles to go to get the 1500 mile/year goal. Planning to joggle 7 today and finish the rest off this weekend. I hope the weather is good.
Oh yes, happy birthday to my youngest brother! Keep on training (or at least [...]

Four days and 34 miles

Perhaps it’s small potatoes for the likes of Dean Karnazes or Sam Thompson but I’ve got to get 34 joggling miles in before the end of the year to make my 1500 mile goal.  I’ve been slacking a bit the last 3 days joggling only 9 miles.  But I’ve got a plan.
Today = 8 miles
Tomorrow [...]

B-vitamins like B-6, B-12 and folate are involved in your body’s conversion of proteins and sugars into energy. They are also used during the tissue repairing process.When you are short on [...]

Dashing to the end of the year

Running and joggling has been hard the last few days. Today is Christmas Eve so there are 8 more running days until 2007. This morning was a 6.8 mile joggle to the lake following this path…
To the Lake and Back
Yesterday, was a 10 mile joggle along to the lake and beyond following this [...]

How far have you run this year?

I just looked at the spreadsheet in which I keep all my running, juggling and joggling stats and goals. You do write down all your runs right?
To date, I have run 1437 miles which beats my goal of 1400 miles and last year’s mileage (1376 miles). But that also means I’m a mere [...]

2. Name the book & the author.
3. Turn to page 123.
