Here’s a quick tip to keep your motivation from flagging. Start keeping track of your runs. Every time I complete a run, I come home and log it in my calendar. I don’t log how the run went, the weather conditions, how I felt during the run – simply distance and time. I like looking …

Get in Go Mode
I spent an enjoyable 4 days in Pismo Beach with family and friends. I ran 3 of those 4 days, spent a lot of time walking on the beach and playing with the kids in the pool. I normally don’t get a lot of time to sit and read so I took advantage of Jack’s …
Happy New Year
Happy 2009! I'm celebrating the new year in Pismo Beach. It is clear and 72 degrees. You really can't get better than that on January 1st. This morning I went for my annual New Year's Day run. Only a bit over 3 miles, but it's really just the point of hauling my butt out of …
Resist the Resolution
My good pal Katie recently asked me if I had any New Year’s Resolutions. Back in the day, when I liked to torture and then punish myself, they were of the usual variety; starve to lose a few pounds and submit to a ridiculously intense exercise program. I think the last resolution I made was …

Naked Running
Got your attention, didn't I? Sorry, I'm a big believer that running is a fully clothed sport and cannot advocate running sans apparel. Nope. Today's topic is on the running blahs (you'll understand the headline in a minute). As some of you know, I completed the ING NY Marathon in early November. I took three …
Cookies and Candy and Sweets. Oh My!
If you have struggles like I do this time of year, then you will appreciate and understand today's post. My house is a veritable battlefield and the war is me versus Christmas treats. I have boxes of See's candy in the cupboard, a completed gingerbread house sitting on my counter, pumpkin bread in the refrigerator, …
Feeling the Need for Speed
Fartleks, chase the rabbit, intervals, Yasso 800's are all terms used when doing speed work. No matter what method you choose to incorporate into your training, the common denominator is this. If you want to run faster, you have to train your legs, body and mind to run faster. That is ultimately accomplished by (you …
Pumpkin Bread
I love to cook. Around the holidays I love to bake. A few years ago, Lisa gave me her pumpkin bread recipe and it's been a family favorite ever since. This recipe makes two full size loaves or 6-8 mini loaves which are great to give as gifts. Enjoy the recipe and share some …
