Well, [...]

The other day, I was scheduled to do a joggling speed workout. It was supposed to feature two 1600 meter runs at a 6:30/mile pace with an 800m easy run in between.
In my pre-retired days, it would’ve been easy enough to just get on the treadmill and do the distances there. But I [...]

Well, that event happened over the past weekend so you might be wondering how he did.

It’s funny. I write a post about retiring, say I’m not retiring from joggling, and then don’t write anything for a week. Rest assured, I haven’t retired from joggling or writing this blog. I was just on a trip to Florida (Orlando) and didn’t have much time or motivation to write. [...]

I met the reporter and TV crew at North Avenue beach and we spent about an hour filming various shots [...]
