Jen commented on Jen's group 'Southeastern U.S. Runners'

Dale, I know about the freezing weather in January. I did a 15 mile run 2 weeks before this race on snowy/icy sidewalks in the hills of North Atlanta. I got acclamated to the warmer weather by spending a week in Tampa working prior to the race. I d…

Well coming from freezing weather in Alabama I thought it was friggin hot and muggy, but it really wasn't bad, I liked the views the entire run. Just shouldn't have had all those Margaritias the night before and I would have finished under 2 hours.

A poll & some readworthy blogs

I'm so indecisive. I can't make up my mind about which marathon I should run this fall. I've selected a few I'm thinking about. My reasons are probably pretty lame but here's what I've got so far:

Muffin Man runs the frozen north tundra

North tundra as in Michigan (hey, it's north to more people than you might think). Frozen as in the icy slick conditions that happen unexpectedly when temps FINALLY hit the low 40's as it did here this past weekend but with still a good 6 inches of snow in some areas. Things melt. Water moves. Shady areas where the sun don't shine morph into ice skating rinks of various size.

As for Muffin Man, that would be ...… Continue

Introducing the Kwoteborde

"The real purpose of running isn't to win a race, it's to test the limits of the human heart" ~ Bill Bowerman, probably one of my favorite quotes when it comes to running. I think about this when the muscles start to cramp and there are still more kilometers to travel.

One of the projects we are working on is a chalkboard type product, a place where you can keep your favorite running quotes to motivate you to get out for a run or count down the days until your next race, a sample desi… Continue

The Snow Princess Melted

This
was not my best race, but I couldn't realistically expect to have run
any faster. A rough fall of pneumonia and a calf injury (warning: do
not support your almost 40 pound child on your leg with your heal in
the air or you may create an incredible knot that won't go away for a
very long time), I had very little base mileage - okay, none as of
December 1st. Carrying my 40 pound sleeping child one… Continue

Run 28, 2010 ...ah, the miles...the endless miles...

By rights, I should be saying "the kilometers, the endless kilometers," but somehow it just isn't as poetic. I had a fantastic training run today. I ran 19 km with an average pace of just under 7 minutes per kilometer (6:58). My goal was to run it with a pace of 7:30 per kilometer, but I just couldn't help myself. I have no discipline. I kept having flashbacks of past runs down the very same roads I was running today. I was thinking about how endless the miles were, are, and will be - if that ma… Continue

The Snow Princess

This is not about some new Disney princess; it's about me.

For the past few years, I've wanted to run the Princess Half in Disney. However, there are several prohibitive matters:
1.
Location - Disney World is in Florida, a 2 day, non-stop drive or 3
hour flight from Oakville, making it a logistically difficu… Continue
