Nike+ progress

Ran 4.2 miles yesterday and 4.5 miles today. Calibrated Nike+ Band
yesterday for accuracy. At a total of only 80 miles for the year so far,
I have a lot of mileage to make up. I’m walking 1/8 of a mile before I
run, running in the more cushioned Nike+ Air Max Moto 7, and using a
Sole [...]

Ran 30 minutes yesterday with no pain in left arch

Ran with Skylon shoes with SOLE Thin Sport insoles yesterday for 30 minutes yesterday and I had no pain in my left arch. I seem to be fine this morning too. There was some tightness, but no pain. I’ve been trying to wear shoes with more support indoors and outdoors, and that seemed to help [...]

Plantar fasciatis due to 10 miles a week of running.

My New Year’s Resolution was to run 10 miles a week or 500 miles in a year. Now I have plantar fascitis on my left foot due to too much mileage too fast. I can’t believe I’m injured due to 10 miles a week of running. The last time I had this [...]

NASCAR tactics at the Zimbabwe Run

Coming up on the half-mile mark of A’s one mile race yesterday, both J and I noticed this girl in front of A who kept cutting her off every time A tried to pass her. I saw it happen 2 or 3 times where this girl would look over her shoulder as A came up [...]

Lose 5 pounds and I get a new plane!

Because of this NY Times article, Dieting? Put Your Money Where Your Fat Is, I’ve made a vow not to purchase a new RC plane until I’m 5 pounds less than my present weight for at least a week (this is to prevent low readings from loss of water).
In the article, they say placing [...]

Ran 4 miles in 55 degree weather

I tried to run down the abandoned railroad track trail today, but it was too wet, so I ran 4 miles on the road.

Ran 5 miles in 28 degree weather

I ran 5 miles this morning in 28 degree weather in Georgetown, Massachusetts. It was a nice run with tights, light gloves, Drylete top, and an OR wind-resistant hat. I really love the Nike Skylon 2s, and I hope they keep making that shoe. It has the perfect combination of light weight, flexibility, motion control [...]

Haile Gebrsellasie runs a 2:03:59 Marathon World Record

Haile was already the greatest distance runner of all time, but his WR at the Berlin Marathon of 2:03:59 is unbelievable. Will I live to see a sub 2:00 marathon - unaided by artificial supplements of course?
