With only 32 days left until the London Marathon, I can finally report a couple of good workouts.
On Sunday, I did a 19 mile joggling run in 2:34. Not particularly fast, but light years better than the previous week when I did 17 miles at an 8:45/mile pace. Best of all I felt good [...]

Imagine the scene.
A cold, snowy, icy day in Chicago. I’m joggling my heart out down treacherous sidewalks and bike paths. As I make a turn, my left foot slips right and takes out my other foot sending me falling to the icy path below.
While falling I have enough sense to throw the [...]

I love the end of the year. It inspires you to reflect on what you experienced during the year and to think about how the coming year might unfold.
Joggling Reflections of 2007
As usual, the year started with some modest joggling goals.
1. Joggle for 1800 miles.
2. Joggle a 100 mile ultra marathon
3. [...]

Imagine the scene…
You’re finally home.
The weather is cold and dark.
You’ve just returned home after two fun-filled days of eating, drinking and game playing at your relative’s house.
You also played 18 holes of golf on a sloppy course.
You’re beat.
Nothing would feel better than kicking off your shoes, laying down on your leather couch and mentally absorbing [...]

It’s been a while since posting an update to the joggling streak so here it is for the curious.
After reading the story about John Chandler’s 25 year running streak, I thought it would be fun to see how long a joggler could go. That was January 15th, 2007 and I’ve joggled at least one [...]

Clang, bump, clang, bump. And so it went as I slowly descended the three flights of the dark red, metal staircase. Going down stairs hurts the most. With 23 marathons under my belt, it’s not an unfamiliar pain, but it still hurts. I was not looking forward to the obligatory 1 mile [...]

Went on the last joggling run before tomorrow’s race. I have to keep the joggling streak alive. Unfortunately, I feel sick. I’ve got a headache, sore throat and a bit of a fever. Not good the night before a race. Also, it’s raining. Fates are conspiring.
No matter. I [...]

The biggest race of my running season will be tomorrow. It will be my first ultra marathon and hopefully a successful breaking of the current 50-mile joggling record of 8:52:07. It was set in 1989 by the most prolific world record setter in the world, Ashrita Furman.
I’m feeling pretty good about my chances. [...]

Saturday was the longest joggle of my joggling career - 5 hours. That’s right, I spent about 21% of an entire day joggling. And it was GREAT!
Pre-Run Reaction
One thing you’ll find when training for a marathon (or ultra marathon) is that you are surprised/impressed that you can complete previously unfathomable distances. [...]
