75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Putting it out there right off the bat, I haven’t done every distance out there. Doesn’t matter because this isn’t that serious a conversation. That said the 10k distance is clearly superior than any other distance you could possibly choose to run. Which is to say in a lot of ways the 10k is my... Continue Reading →
Lot's of us are in training for something right now. Some of you are also training for a distance first too. That can be scary right? This year I'm not headed into dedicated training season until June. You might be thinking a lot about crossing the line on the big day, that's normal but foolhardy.... Continue Reading →
For a long, long time I was not an injured runner. Sure I had twinges, tweaks and flares along the way but I never really dealt with a true injury until 2016. Then when it hit it was serious and it hit hard! Three seasons have come and gone since then and I think that... Continue Reading →

I like documentaries a lot, a lot a lot. I don’t watch as many as I would like to these days partially due to life and partly because they tend to send honey right off to sleep but I digress. By far and away my favorite category is food documentaries. I’m not sure exactly why... Continue Reading →
What to take and what to leave behind? If you’re a what if sort of person you might consider roll behind luggage or a bike trailer. Others who like to keep it simple might end up skipping something thinking, "when will I ever need that"? But its not that simple is it? Some longer workouts... Continue Reading →
I have a favorite running route it takes me by 2 beaches over 10 k almost exactly and I don't have to repeat a single meter of road. But it's a route I don't get to that often. When I'm training it's pretty much only good for 10k non-speed work runs since it's hilly and... Continue Reading →
Ohh the recovery run… it hurts, it sucks and it might make you consider actually running into traffic from time to time. So much so that it’s the run in training it’s the run that I’m most likely to skip. Are there things you can do to make them suck less? Yes. Will they ever... Continue Reading →
