How many people actually run to lose weight? I am sure a lot of people out there are raising their virtual hands.
But how many people are actually losing weight from running?
I ask this because this is a constant struggle for me, and I know it has been for Joe as well. I recall […]
Today was my first small run in 12 days. After two failed attempts at 20 miles, it was time to take on a number I know I can complete. To be honest, though, I really wasn’t feeling like running today. These last couple of days I’ve been feeling lack luster and lethargic. Driving home […]
Well, although I didn’t do any weekly runs, I did prepare for today’s attempt at a 20 mile run.
I did rest and sleep well during the week. I did carbo-load yesterday with some yummy pad thai noodles. I did buy gatorade and power bars and brought them with me. I put on sun screen, I […]

I am not fast runner by any means. I am 5′8″ and weigh anywhere from 175-180 depending on how well I eat that week or really how bad I eat. I run an average of 10 min miles when running anything more than 8 miles and can run 6 miles at a 9:30 […]

The bezel has a touch sensor that lets your quickly scroll through and select features on the run. Would probably come in […]
I think I carry enough drag with me on my rear to not need this as I run to the nearest Coldstone…. mmmm Coldstone…
Anyways, this is a new training tool by Nike that will eventually make you run faster by adding up to 25 lbs of resistance for $50 bucks. The only problem I […]
Here it is:
109 runs, 627 mi, 81,476 calories (23 lbs.)
WOW! I didn’t know I ran that far. But this has been over the course of about a year. 627 miles…. hmmm… that’s like running from LA to San Jose and back. I currently weigh approximately 178, but this can fluctuate about 2-3 lbs either way […]
You will probably notice that there are some additions to the site on the left side. You can now see how much we are both running each time we run. We both use the Nike + system with our iPod Nanos. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you most definitely should. Not a perfect […]
