Last workout 5 months ago. Help get them back on track!
To my Cycling, Running, & Walking friends,
I had the unfortunate experience last night of arriving at an accident about 10 seconds after it happened. A bicyclist lost control of his bike, fell off the sidewalk, and landed in incoming traffic on a... read more
Nice way to start the day
Note to self: When running on neighborhood trash day, close mouth when running near trash cans with lots of flies around.
I think I owe my Garmin 305 GPS a beer.
While out running this morning, I hit one of those "invisible cracks" in the sidewalk. Not sure what happened, but one minute I was running fine and the next I'm heading to the pavement as if I'm doin... read more
Glad you are OK. Running always seems to be an adventure for you.
5 months agoAlways. Funny thing is that running only beats up on the left side of my body. Bloody left knee. Left hand hit the pavement. In the past, it was my left ankle, left knee, left hit etc. Something strange is going on...
5 months agoI'm glad you're okay -I think the Garmin people need to hear about this added benefit of wearing their gear.
5 months agoWas going great until I hit an "invisible crack" in the sidewalk and did a Superman dive to the pavement. Escaped with just a bloody knee.
Beautiful morning for a run!
Excellent - how are you holding up - still tracking back towards another marathon sometime soon?
5 months agoCranking up now. Been too hot for me to do any serious mileage.
5 months agoHere's a video I made.... "A Dummy Runs Smart". It's about a valuable lesson I learned while running.
Great run. Really pleased with the progress I'm making.
Picked up the pace a bit. Felt great. Could have done more, but pulled back. Trying to run smart as get back in the groove.
Great run, probably wise to keep it easier.
7 months agoVery smart, Matt. It's nice when you start to feel like you can do more again.
7 months agoI'm determined to "run smart". Today was tough because the legs felt great.
7 months agoAnd another 5k
You're beginning to churn out the mileage again, way to go. Send my best to Leah!
7 months agoWill do. Thanks!

Wow - sorry you had to go thought that. I'm sure that truck driver is also stuck with images in his head that he would rather weren't. It's a good thing to keep in mind - none of us are invincible out there, even when we're just walking.
5 months agoCaleb, I feel so sorry for the truck driver. Even though he couldn't have avoided it, I can't imagine how he feels. A lady and her 8 yr old son in front of me saw it happen. They were both hysterical when I ran past them to get to the victim. I was taking my 11 yr old and 2 of his friends to football practice. Even though I had them stay in the car to protect them from seeing everything, they saw too much.
5 months agoWow. What a horrible experience that must have been for you, and you son and friends too. It reminds us all how important it is to be careful, and how quickly life can change. Witnessing things like that can shake you up quite badly - take it easy for awhile. Thoughts are with you.
5 months agoThanks for sharing this with us. Yes, it is a difficult reminder of how fragile we are and how blessed we are to be alive. My prayers go out to his family. Additionally, it is a credit to you that you kept your head and immediately acted in the face of such a tragedy. My best to you and Leah.
