Apparently, I’m the kind that starts packing at 8:30 pm the night before leaving. I’ve got a 9 am flight.
No matter, there’s always time for blogging. There’s also always time for joggling. I did one of my last ones before the London Marathon today. 3 miles, 23 minutes. Just a bit slower than marathon pace.
Here’s [...]

It’s official.
My pal John Kelly and I are IN for the London Marathon. We just got the news yesterday.
The race is only 3 months and 21 days away. Time to put together another joggling training program.
It will be my goal to set a PR in this race and qualify for the Boston Marathon (3:15). My [...]

Previously on JYAJ, we featured a story about Brad Alsop who was running 131 marathons in 131 days. Well, I was curious to see how he did and went back to his website to see.
He made it! 131 marathons in 131 days. He ran every day from July 4th to November 11 [...]

After reading Randy’s glowing report about the Chickamauga Battlefield marathon, it made me think about my favorite marathon and why.
Having done 23, my favorite marathon is the Chicago Marathon. In this joggler’s opinion, it is the best marathon you can do particularly if you are a first-timer. Here are my top 7 reasons [...]

Well, perhaps “takes over” is a bit of a stretch but there have been a few media outlets that were interested enough in the recent 50-mile joggling world record that they did some interviews.
Joggling on TV
I have my sister to thank for setting this one up. She happened to know someone at the TV [...]

Last post on this race, I promise.
I just got the results. The winner of this race did it in a blazing 5:31!! That’s around a 6:40 pace which is what I can do in a 5K. Ridiculous. It turns out I finished 16th out of 74 finishers with an “official” time [...]

Joggling Lap 3
Within the first 2 miles of the third lap, I thought I’d passed the girl in green. Her biking friends were stopped at a bathroom and I just assumed she was in there. But Kikta pointed her out up ahead. Damn, she’s good.

Joggling Lap 2
Just after lap 2 started, we picked up another bike spotter, John Kelly. He stayed with us the entire way after that. He also witnessed drop number 2 which happened 2:50 into the race. I don’t know why it happened. My right hand was in [...]

For a juggler, perfection is always the goal. No drops, no stops. On Saturday, a gust of wind stymied juggling perfection 1 hour and 25 minutes after the race started. But for a joggler, perfection takes a back seat to speed. Legs win races, not hands. Fortunately, the wind couldn’t [...]
