It’s the time of year again when you get to spend more hours joggling outdoors. Yeah!!

It’s midway through training for the London Marathon and it’s starting to wear on me. Maybe it’s the looming daily run of the joggling streak, the constant leg and body pain, the hours of feet pounding, or this crappy Chicago winter weather, but my motivation is vanishing faster than a white tiger in a [...]

4 minutes on the treadmill and I knew I was in trouble. My shins hurt, my breathing was labored, and I’d already dropped a Gballz. My lone headphone cut in and out as my ear pooled sweat. Six and a half miles to go with 20 minutes at a tempo [...]

I hate joggling in the cold.
The wind stings your face.
Your clothes are so tight and heavy, it’s difficult to move.
Tears form in your eyes, freeze and make tiny icicles on your eyelashes.
Your fully-charged iPod stops working after 30 minutes.
