“Mama, you need to start running.”

by

(this is my kind of running) The Tornado & I were out ambling around Austin recently when she stopped abruptly, turned, looked at me and stated: Mama, you need to start running. Needless to say, since this sentiment was shared in her not soft five year old voice, it garnered more than a few horrified looks. Horrified and, if I interpreted them correctly, Oh Ive been there, ... Continue Reading

by

Many thanks to Jared for taking the time out of his hectic life & running schedule to answer two of our questions. Are you enjoying the marathon training itself? Answer:  I am enjoying some of the training, lol.  I actually like the runs up until about 12 miles or so.  The longer runs I have done past 12 miles are tough.  My legs feel like lead pipes from that point forward.  The weather ...

Las Vegas RocknRoll course preview (guest post).

by

First off I'd like to thank Mizfit for this opportunity and for the help she gave in trying to find someone to run with me while I was in Las Vegas a month or so ago. (MizFit note: It was tempting to hop a plane and run with Gene' too (this was all pre-wrenching my back). Alas, I settled for begging for a guest post upon his return) Although no one answered the call, her efforts were greatly ... Continue Reading
