The Des Moines marathon on Oct 16 was an enjoyable and memorable day. I was able to run it with friends (who PR’d in their marathons and snagged some great 1/2 marathon times). It was also my second one that my ace marathon volunteer and son Joshua joined in. The time was OK – 4:10 [...]

The Lincoln Marathon was ten days ago – May 1st – so was I too beat up to write a blog post? Nah, just busy, really. . I’ll call this my marathon PR – 4:00:17 by the chip. I’m still 4 minutes off my 1996 all time best – but after my PR article a [...]
CrossFit WOD Linda

The CrossFit workout of the day (WOD) called Linda. A perfect torture of Olympic lifting and speed. It’s a declining repetition workout of deadlift, bench and cleans (10 reps each down to 1, until 55 per lift are done). I was leery of this one since my last “Linda” in May of 2010. A day [...]
The long run – not so slow or just say NO to LSD!

Just say no to LSD! Sunday had a great long run – 15 miles (maybe .1 short but was done when I hit home). Held a 8:53 average with 9:37 for slowest mile and 7:31 for fastest. At mile 5 I joined in with some freaky fast runners, who were soaking in the mid 60′s [...]

The time over distance, speed/strength over LSD (long slow distance) and intensity of effort over “logging miles” has sunk in deeply now. In looking at January I could feel a few different ways: Down because my running miles were low (67) and almost 1/2 of a year ago. Excited because I had over 300 aerobic [...]
Dog Sense

Just got back with my #1 faithful training partner Heidi, yellow lab and was reminded that there is such a thing as dog sense. About 2.5 miles into a 7 mile run I went straight at the trailhead of a famous local bike trail (MoPac) where we usually turn left or right. She stopped and [...]

Some love for CrossFit Endurance. Running competitor shares and update of T.J. Murphy – 2:28 marathoner and his jump into CrossFit Endurance. His mentor is Brian McKenzie, founder of CrossFit Endurance. T.J. began a slow adoption process of CrossFit in 2011 to overcome an aerobic only induced knee injury. I’m eager to see his results [...]
Cold Weather Running

Don’t let the cold, ice, snow stop you from getting outside. The indoor work from swimming, spinning, rowing, lifting, metcon and treadmill are healthy cross training pursuits – sometimes you just got to get outside. Was a perfect cold weather day for the dogs – Ace and Heidi and people – Becky, Laura, myself [...]
