Running Some Hills, That’s Where I Want to be!

Good morning, my friends! I didn't expect to post anything today, but this morning's hill repeats inspired me a little so why not. If my title puts a song in your head, I've done my job. Hills are in pretty much any run when you live in Lynchburg, VA. It's actually known as "the hill city". …

? Marathon Training Week 3 – It’s a Young Man’s Game

Hello and Happy Monday to you, or at least a semi-tolerable Monday. I'm now on my 4th week of marathon training and have yet to pick a race. What a weirdo! (That's from a movie, but pretty obscure. You'll be my BEST FRIEND if you get it) This week's training had some ups and downs. …

Product Review – I’m Attached to Detach (Coconut Water Evolved)

Happy Friday to you! This is fantasy football draft Friday, which is like a combo of the 4th of July and Thanksgiving. My co-workers and I are pretty excited. I'm going to be one co-worker short though, as my great friend and now running buddy Lil' Code is moving on to bigger things. I've been mean to him all week. It's how I cope.

WARNING: You don’t have enough running shoes.

It's my "Friday" Thursday, so I'm in a pretty good mood. I wish I could take all of you regular "Thursday" Thursday people with me. Those of you that like a variety of running shoes, I'm about to help you justify your purchases (you're welcome). Those of you that have that ONE pair that you love …

A Race I Can’t Win – Me vs. Last Year Me

Hello and happy hump day to you! My July running results are in and I finished with 96 miles, down 1 mile from June. Why didn't I run 4 more and get an even 100?! I started August off with a 6 mile run that included 4 pretty fast miles. The splits were 7:21, 7:13. …
