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!

I gazed at the green light at the end of my cap.”I don’t think you’re going to need that”, she says smirking then adds seriously, “Just be careful. You’re nuts.”
“I really prefer the term…eccentric.”

The way to train for a joggling ultra marathon is to run and juggle…a lot.
Today, I’m joggling from my house to my sister’s house. The total distance will be just about 30 miles and is the longest I’ve ever run.

The story of the guy getting hit by lightning while jogging inspired me to leave the headphones at home for tonight’s juggling run. Here’s how it went.

Yesterday was a beautiful day for joggling in Chicago. Sunny, with just the right temperature. I had a 20+ miler planned and wasn’t feeling great about doing it. Not because I was tired or sore or anything, just because exercising for 3+ hours is a daunting task. I wasn’t looking forward [...]

I don’t usually write about my workouts but this weekend was special because I did a 16+miler yesterday and a 15+miler today. I’ve never done back-to-back 2-hour plus runs and you might be interested in the experience.

Perhaps my head is too hot. At least that’s the suggestion of researchers of University at Albany on why I’m yawning so much.
Let me explain.
