Keeping your car seats dry after a long run is no sweat
You just worked you butt off on a long run. Or you just finished a grueling speed workout at the track. You’re dripping sweat – soaked head to toe. And, you have to get into your vehicle to drive home. What happens next? You have to take cover between car doors to change your shorts, or you just sit down only to get your seat … Continue reading Keeping your car seats dry after a long run is no sweat
Every Run has a Purpose
How do you go into a race without planning to run for a PR? When it comes to training for a race don’t you just pick up the mileage every week, and try to lower your average pace? Why run if you know you’re not going to get your best time? The above are all common questions from non-runners, and those who are just starting … Continue reading Every Run has a Purpose
Overcoming Death on a Run
Have you ever been in a groove on a run only to have it jolted in an instant? You’re hitting your pace, your stride, your cadence, everything is clicking. Then POW something smacks you hard. How do you recover? How do you get back in that groove? I experienced this on my run this morning and can’t seem to shake it. Hence, why I’m posting … Continue reading Overcoming Death on a Run
2 Races, 2 PRs
Over the past eight weeks, I’ve learned a lot. No I didn’t go back to school, I began running with my dogs and completed two virtual races with them thanks to the Scooby Doo Run Series. It was something I seldom did, and covered the reasons why in previous posts. What began as a new challenge and one we hoped would help tire our male … Continue reading 2 Races, 2 PRs
The Best Week is Race Week
Race week is here for Rex and I as we take on the Scooby Doo Run Series Scoobtober Virtual Run. This is our second race together in as many months completing the Doo Good Virtual Run in September. Rex has gotten this running thing down, and I’ve become more comfortable running with a dog. I know once every mile or so to let him take … Continue reading The Best Week is Race Week
Running in the BUFF
There are few pieces of running gear that I would say are absolutely necessary to have on every time I go out on a run. Chief among them for me is headwear. I need something on my head to keep the sweat from dripping down my face, protect my scalp, and keep my head cool or warm. I was introduced to BUFF USA a few … Continue reading Running in the BUFF
This running stuff is for the dogs
My wife has always pushed me to take our dogs running when I do shorter distances – 4 miles or below. I’m always hesitant because I’m training for marathons or halfs, and when I do shorter distances it’s usually speed work. I also am OCD and hate when things are not structured or go the way I plan. When running with a dog that means … Continue reading This running stuff is for the dogs
Content is king! And, a lot of it is coming.
A few people have asked this week: Why haven’t you had a blog post lately. I thought to myself two things: 1. People are actually paying attention to my blog. 2. It hasn’t been that long. After looking, it actually has been that long – over 75 days long. My bad! The truth is life has been going at full speed. Along with being a … Continue reading Content is king!
