Not a ton to hardcore runners, but it’s the first time in a long time I’ve done a) three runs in a row and 2) anything more than nine miles in the course of a few days. Here’s hoping that it’s the beginning of my running renaissance!
How depressing. I run my first race in nearly a year and a half (training diligently, by the way, for a distance I used to do five times a week) and my results aren’t even registered. At least the Forerunner 405, given to me by my loving, wonderful fiancé, has stepped in to save the [...]
My running plan for the fall has changed a bit. I have been forced to cancel my New York City Marathon entry; I’m instead focusing on the much more reasonable goal (given my fitness level at the moment) of a 10K. Targeted is the Rockville 10K, held on the same day as the [...]
♦ My old employer, code name Dyn-o-mite!, recently had a national magazine do a flattering profile on them. It took all of my restraint to not post a comment on the online version of the story – corporate clients and industry personalities alike were lauding the products that my old company produces as top-notch [...]
I continue to revel in gadgetry and that wonderful new car smell. Dealing with gadgetry first, the Garmin foot pod has been delivered to my front door, waiting for me to scoop it into my loving arms when I get home from work today. The foot pod allows me to wear the Forerunner [...]

I woke up in something of a brooding mood today. I started the day by reminding myself that I needed to order a gift for my co-worker’s baby shower. As I did so, I started to get into a rather foul state of mind, similar to the one that I experienced when buying [...]
Over the past few days, I’ve been gearing up for the New York City Marathon. And when I say gearing up, I do actually mean gearing up. Among the things that I have purchased over the past few weeks:
Three pairs of Nike’s Tempo Track short. I adored my first pair and subsequently [...]
Last night, my doctor called to tell me that I was perfect. My blood work was excellent all around and she told me to stay healthy. I boasted to IP that I now had confirmation that I was perfect, so he’d better act accordingly. However, her charge to stay healthy left me [...]
I desperately need to get my running on track. I’ve been mildly impressing myself with the sudden commitment I have to avoid the Arc and elliptical trainers and head straight to the treadmills.
