I just got confirmation, I am officially signed up for this fall’s Chicago Marathon. It will mark the 10th time I’ve run this race and the 8th time joggling the whole way.
This time I will be running for a charity called Global Business Assist. I’ll do a separate post on this shortly but [...]

Yesterday, I did my 700th joggling mile this year. That pencils out to about 4.7 miles a day and puts me on target for 1715 miles at year’s end. The target is 1800 miles so I have to step it up a bit.
All this running is great news for the juggling and running [...]

Not because they discuss all the juggling pluses we previously covered, such as increasing brain size, improving coordination, etc. No, this is interesting because it makes the news at all.

Resting pulse : 58

Here is a perfect example of why I don’t put much stock in what experts have to say about health.
It is my goal to live until at least 107, hopefully still joggling marathons.  I figure by the time I hit 85, I’ll actually be competitive in my age group.  Maybe then I’ll be able to [...]

In a previous post we talked about how to stretch smart. In it I revealed that I wasn’t a big proponent of stretching. Consider that I’ve been a running juggler since 1996 and have done little to no stretching. In that time I’ve had almost no downtime due to injury. Living [...]
