Run. Run today because you can. Run today because there are those who can’t. Run today because there are those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to give you the freedom to do so. Run to Remember. *** Thank you to our brothers and sisters who put their lives on the line every day so [...]

Efficiency

So this Sunday I am running the Boston Run To Remember Half Marathon. It will be my second time running it and my third half marathon overall. So far, in my short racing career, every race has produced a PR. 8 races, 8 PR’s. Granted, some of those PR’s were because I was running a [...]
Power Surge

I’d like to think that I’m in pretty good shape for a 40 year old. In fact, I would argue that I’m in better shape now at 40 than I was at 20. I feel I owe a large part of that to running. I wasn’t in bad shape when I started running 18 months [...]
A Forty Minute Mile

Last week I ran a forty minute mile. No, that is not a typo. Yes, I know I was not supposed to be running last week; part of a self-imposed rehab stint to get my knee better. But I have a race coming up on the 30th and I had to do something. The elliptical [...]
I Know That Look

This post has nothing to do with running. Well, maybe in the metaphorical sense, but anyway… I was at the grocery store yesterday, working my way through the aisles when I happened upon the baby section. You know the one with the diapers, baby shampoo, formula and baby food. Every time I walk down that [...]
Spectator

Don’t be a spectator. Don’t let life pass you by. -Lou Holtz In every race that I have run, I have always been grateful for the people who come to cheer the runners on. Whether coming for a friend or family member, these people end up cheering everybody on. It is a great energy booster [...]
Get Some
Posted in health, Odd Ball, training, tagged Coregasm, exercise, Women's Health on May 18, 2010 | 5 Comments »
So, since the beginning of this blog, I have been a huge proponent of physical exercise. True, I definitely skew toward the power of running, but quite honestly, as long as you get sweaty and breathe hard, I don’t care how you get your daily burn. I still feel that running was the best way [...]
The Sirens
Posted in health, rest, training, Vibram Five Fingers, tagged bikila, Odysseus, Rehab, running, Sirens, Vibram on May 17, 2010 | 5 Comments »
In Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous bird-women, portrayed as seductresses who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island [wikipedia]. This past week I have been dealing with my own version of the Sirens. The weather has been generally delightful, my knee has felt [...]
Finish

Last night the Boston Celtics ousted the Cleveland Cavaliers from the NBA playoffs with a 94 – 85 victory. The Celtics did it with a full team effort on both ends of the court. That’s great Luau. What’s that have to do with running? As a Celtics fan I was thrilled, but as a sportsfan [...]

I am a runner. I run. A lot. You know this. So does just about everybody else. “Hey, do you know Luau?” “Who?” “The running dad.” “Oh yeah! I know him. The guy with the funny shoes, right?” Yes, anybody who knows me, even tangentially, knows me as a runner. *** So what happens to [...]
