  1. RUN
    great 1.23 km

    My kid is good for me. I needed a run and while this was very short for me, it got me moving. Akaisha is nearly nine and ran this without stopping. Good job, Akaisha! I didn't wear proper ... read more

      actually, if you usually run in traditional thick-soled running shoes, then your sandals were much better for you to run in, blister notwithstanding. Your skeleton and joints will thank you.

      That's wonderful. Our son runs with his Dad and it's great bonding.

    Meh. I wasn't into this run today, but then again, I am not in a great headspace in general today. That's one of the reasons I went for a run, so get my head feeling better LOL. It was... read more

  3. RUN
    good 7.29 km

    Another great long run. It was a little challenging due to the humidity, but it was cloudy most of the time, which made it bearable. On my last run, which was longer, by the time I hit about 7K m... read more

    I just wanted to run and that is what I did. No time, although I was gone roughly an hour and five or ten minutes. By far the farthest I have run in a VERY long time, like 2-3 years. Probably fa... read more

  5. RUN

    This is the funnest run I have ever had! First time running in about a month and I just ran without timing or anything. AND I was spontaneous. Ended up doing some trail running by the river and ... read more

    What a wonderful day for a run. It's warm out, the sun is shining, and I got to run down by the bike path and through Gibbons Park. Truly lovely. I think the time was accurate, but part of m... read more

      Wasn't Gibbons flooded yet? I stayed on high ground!

      Mary, I was worried it might be, but knew I could always turn around and run the way I had come if it was. It wasn't flooded though. It was very high, almost up to the top of those rocks at the edge of the river near the parking lot. Further on, near the pool, I could see where the water level had been, probably just days ago, but now it's all clear and lovely :-)

    What a great day for a race. Sunny and a perfect temperature for running in a t-shirt! Not a PB (I only have one other race to base this on), but I have also been so busy with work that I have sa... read more

  9. Off to run the Downtown 5K and it is an amazing sunny day for a race! Fill you all in later :-)

  10. Has anyone here read "Born to Run"? Who does barefoot running? I am thinking of looking into it, but want to know about people's experiences with it.

  11. RUN

    MapMyRun didn't click in so I got no GPS time or distance. Still, a great run. I haven't run in well over a week due to a huge project for work that had a strict deadline. working 70 h... read more

    What a great run! Last week slipped away from me because I got busy with work, but it doesn't seem to have hurt my endurance or anything. In fact, my pace was better today. I actually find ... read more

    I didn't run today for two reasons. One, I overdid it earlier this week and had to let my calves rest. I think I had mild shin splints. Second, there was no way I was going out to run in th... read more

      Yeah, it's interval training, six circuits. Although, I am guessing all her training videos are circuit training.

      Yup. She mixes up the cardio and the strength training really well. I also like that her strength training incorporates a vast amount of muscle groups in one or two moves. More bang for your buck. :)

  19. What would be causing pain in the lower leg, inside side, but slightly toward the front? Is that shin splints or something else?
