75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
I finished last week tuckered out. So at the start of this week I knew that I might need to skip a run and I’m okay with that. I didn’t, well I sort of did, I turned one into a longer walk. This week was a little stressful at work, nothing too serious but like... Continue Reading →
Alright so I have a new issue popping up I’ve never dealt with before and could use some advice if you’ve got it. It’s not a big issue and it goes to show that every training cycle is different. Here’s the thing my left big toenail is starting to wear down. It’s as if someone... Continue Reading →
This week was unlike any I’ve every had before but not due to running or really any dramatic reason. If anything it was because of a really good thing! This was the first week in my life I’ve ever had a full time employee which might not sound like a big deal but it had... Continue Reading →
It might be a little early in training to say this but so far some of the stuff I’ve worried about hasn’t come true! And… they don’t seem to be. One simple thing is water. Our summers have been getting drier over the past 5-10 years. Around here you can either have a dug well... Continue Reading →

I also got all my runs in pretty effortlessly. Well mostly effortlessly but pretty easily at least. I’m loving... Continue Reading →

So whoever had age 38 in the family pool your odds are looking pretty good right about now. Of course anything can happen between now and October,... Continue Reading →
There’s a saying among runners “never trust the first mile” or in my case two. It’s not usually a neutral mile either it usually just sucks and sucks hard. Here’s a secret runners aren’t telling you unlike most things in life this doesn’t get better but so far it hasn’t gotten worse either. It’s funny... Continue Reading →
Is there even one perfect runner out there? Probably not, but if there is one out there it isn’t me, that’s for sure! There is a lot more to being a perfect runner than just running and if your want to take your game to the next level you might have to make some changes... Continue Reading →
Just like everything else there are lots of types of runners and you know what every single type is a real runner! Being every type of runner is totally cool too! This post is not all that serious but I’m sure you want to know what kind(s) of runner you are. When you find out... Continue Reading →
