Friday week in review
According to my training schedule, Friday is supposed to be a day of rest. I rested with a 5 mile joggle in the treadmill. The treadmill settings I use are 8.0 speed, 0.1 incline. That let's me finish a 5…

While I've posted lots of things about running, I haven't posted much about learning to juggle. That's because it's a thing that is much easier to teach someone in person. However, I found this great website run by some pHD…

There was a question the other day at the IJA Joggler's forum about official rules of joggling. Since there is no official "joggler circuit" or "joggler league" there really aren't any official rules. But if you are interested in trying…
At long last, I've got a new pair of shoes. The last pair of Reeboks have been officially "retired". This means that I will use them as my daily walk around shoes. It also means that I'll have to figure…
Today was a ten mile run. I did it in just about 83 minutes. Not great but not too bad either. It was a muggy morning and about 5 miles into it I was pelted with a steady 10 minute…
I just returned from a 5 mile run and I feel sketchy. It was not a great run. Sure, it was a bit warm 78 F (25C) and muggy, but a runner with my experience should certainly be able to…
