Vibram 5 Finger Running and Farro Wheat Salad or Cereal

Wednesday didn’t seem my day for speed work. The sequence of events had me wondering if I should have gone back to bed and tried again the next day. I woke up before the alarm and was just going back to sleep when it went off. Reluctantly, 10 minutes later I got up. As I was getting dress, the urge to go back to bed was so strong but I fought it and ended up downstairs in the gym. I saw a 6 mile run at 5K pace was scheduled. Since it was still very early, I hopped on the [...]

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Looks whose excited about celebrating the patron saint of Ireland.. According to legend, Saint Patrick used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pre-Christian Irish people.

Contemplating “UP” and Grilled Oriental Salad

Hit the treadmill running and then some. The “then some” was the chest and back workout for 35 minutes, but it all began on the dreaded mill.

The mornings are dark now when we leave the house. I wear a reflective vest (did you see my new one from Nathan’s? ) and Shane has a reflective collar and leash. It was a great running [...]
