No watch. No tunes. Just me, the trail, and countless middle-aged dudes in skin tight overly loud sausage casings on comfy hybrid bikes. I don't dislike the biking community. I have two (trail &... read more

RUN
good Old School FP Outer Loop 2.6 mi

Monday morning if you need a race Fix. Our HS District sure doesn't need the cash, but Old School is a nice place to run.

good Fox Valley Fox Trot 10 Mile 10 mi 01:27 08:44 pace
Chicago's meteorologists were a little off. Predicted a hot dry day. Chilly 60 degrees and just beat a torrential downpour.

You did awesome!!!! Nice work! How do you feel? I ran 10 this morning with a friend and it was rough with the rain!!!! We were in the downpour the whole time... got it done though! AWESOME JOB!!!!!

I've had no luck with belts and have a couple different handhelds that I use. (I also have a backpack that I've never tried.) Not ideal but I've gotten used to running with something in my hand (bottle, phone...). Maybe one of those can holder hats with the hose coming down? :)
-
Okay okay. i'm sorry for keeping you guys up all night waiting for my decision. So, here goes. I decided that I MIGHT use the held held today in Elgin. I heard that the major local, national. and world news agencies. including al Jazeera, will be on hand at the start line, all trying to be the 1st to get the story. Oops, gotta scoot.

good Sr. League Baseball 2 mi 02:30 75:00 pace
Nice little run before game. Everything negated by tailgate party after game though.

Sounds like fun to me!! I think you'll be in good shape for tomorrow's race as long as you drink lots of water today! :) Did you wear your new shoes on this run?

I ran 100 yard sprints with brand new shoes on an adjacent football field with brand new artificial turf. Felt great until we got pounded 11-1.

Took my new Vomero 7s out for a test drive at lunch. Hammy barked a little, but I'm feeling better about Elgin on Saturday. Hope to get them on my home turf (Old School) after work and open them ... read more

I've had the Vomeros 4 thru 6. I tried both Aisics and Brooks this Spring, and decided to go back to my old faithfuls. Probably the most cushioned shoe on the market. For me (6'-3" x 197 lbs), running light/running barefoot hasn't worked out.

Elgin 10 Miler on Saturday and just can't get it going. Still grieving over loss of my best friend - my Collie. Went to run the FP where we used to walk, and sat in the car for over an hour before forcing myself to run the roadway instead of the trail. Maybe today. YOU, keep running, peddling, swimming, and smiling.

great CNMSBL Baseball Game 02:30
Got a great workout. Had to catch the 1st 6 innings and pitch the 7th. I'm from Houston so the heat doesn't really affect me at all. For some strange reason, I've always liked extreme (hot, cold,... read more

Felt good to race again. Wanted to run faster but played it safe. Injuries take forever when you're unwilling to shut it down and heal properly. You guys know exactly what I mean.

Is it just me, or do guys that sit in thier cars in the Forest Preseve parking lots seem creepy?

Sooooo creepy!!! I think I know what they're up to too and it's nothing good. :)

Hey Mark - I didn't see any creeps along the trail here, maybe its too hot for them in the car...
Happy running and have a great weekend!

The creeps in the cars might be why morning joggers are always the first ones to find the dead bodies in the forest preserve.

I did a Valentine's Day run a couple of years back, and the shirt had a big pink heart surrounding by pastel colored heart confetti. Luckily I did that one alone, otherwise I am sure I would own both a shirt and a nightgown now.

This IS the Bridle path. The paved bike path is a yellow stripe 5' shoulder of the one-way loop road. In fact, the loop road speed limit is 20 mph and has very little traffic.
