I Love Breakfast
I love breakfast. Specifically, going out to breakfast. And nothing, NOTHING is better tasting than breakfast after a long run. You've earned every calorie you're about to eat (within reason) so you can indulge a bit. Here are a just a few of my favorite post-run breakfasts and where to go to get them. 1. …
Later Never Comes
As a reminder, if you are not disciplined with your exercise schedule, you won't have one. A common mistake most people make is that they plan to do their workout "later". And as we all know, later can mean in 20 minutes, 20 days or never! Have you ever told your child you'd buy the …
Joy of Running

That IS their exercise of choice, either for convenience, pure love of the sport or are training for an event. Running can be of the Amish nature (shoes, shirt, shorts) or …

The Agony of the DNF
I got my first ever DNF this past weekend. For those who aren't up to the lingo, a DNF means Did Not Finish and is the designation given to runners who quit a race. Mine was especially embarrassing because I didn't even line up to start the race!! Didn't even make it to the event. …
A Friend Indeed!
An original member of the Marin BreakfastKlub Runners, Tracey, came back to the Bay Area for a visit this past weekend. She and her family moved to Dallas just a bit over two years ago and boy have we missed her! We logged many, many miles together during the 5 years that we ran together …
Fundraiser for a Friend
A very good friend of ours Paul Zischka (Foothill HS Class of 1982) has been diagnosed with an aggressive inoperable cancer. Over the years, Paul has given to his community, schools, Scouting, clubs, charities and everyone around him without question or compromise. His diagnosis gives him only a small window of quality living. The …
