Foot Turning, Shin Splints and changing the stride.


So, ever since my long run in my marathon-training attempt, I have suffered from some shin splint pain on the left shin after a run.  This week has been true to form, with the pain returning as my running has.

Perfect Running Weather!!! Whether my Running technology works or not!


This unseasonable weather – is AWESOME!!!!   Normally I am unable to run whenever we get “perfect running weather” – so I am enjoying it even more!  All those days this year where the sun was shining, are being made up

Last nights run and ponderings on speed. Plus, the 100 up challenge!


It’s amazing to me, but my running seems much faster than it was. I have actually gone back and compared my times, and I am running consistently 1/2 a mile an hour faster than I was a month, 2 months or 3

Weekend Long Run.. Running for the love of it.


So Saturday was a bit warmer – in the 40’s – so I headed out on my “long run.”  I tried to keep my speed down to make sure I could actually do the 5 miles I had planned, but

A Brisk Run, and the beginning of W.G. George’s 100-Up Exercise Regime!


  As I am still “Building back up” (yes I say this a lot.. I am reminding myself as well as you – my dear friends!), I decided 3 miles was a good distance for last night’s run.  I picked

100-Up (or what lots of barefoot/minimalists are now talking about after Christopher McDougall’s NY Times Article)


So, this morning – I was unable to get myself out of bed to go and run.  I think knowing it is around 30-40 degrees in the morning and 60ish after work is not helping.  I see a pleasant evening

A wonderful evening run, and a nice way to start the day.


I hadn’t run the entire time on vacation, despite bringing my running clothes and having access to a “fitness center.”  It wasn’t that the one treadmill in the “fitness center” wasn’t good enough – but that the walking I did

Marine corps marathon 2011


I got to see the beginning of this years Marine Corps Marathon  and it was a sight to see.  It appeared that the last runners crossed the starting line around the 20 minute mark and there were clothes EVERYWHERE!!!! Later

Marine Corps Marathon Expo


So, this was my first expo, even if it isn’t my first marathon.  I will have to admit, it was pretty awesome.  I could have spent an entire pay check there, though granted – that isn’t as much as I

Listening to my body, even when it seems lazy.


Two miles on the Dread-mill last night. This allowed me to appreciate one aspect of “starting over” — a 2 mile run on a treadmill is easy to deal with. 20 minutes comes and goes fairly quickly, especially when compared
