These are the summers of my childhood. The weather is ridiculously nice. It was ‘open the window’ type of weather. It was run outside weather. And I did. In fairness, Lisa had to put a foot in my backside because up until last night I’ve been extremely lax about training. I hit the two mile [...]

Two miles and running
02-Jul-10Exercising and other stuff
25-Jun-10In an attempt to shake myself from the doldrums that was my routine, we started using Wii Fit. I forgot that it was 1) fun and 2) had actual workout routines. Nothing major or strenuous (or maybe I have to unlock that) but there are several strength exercises and yoga positions. I’m actually looking forward [...]
Well, hell. pt2

At this point I’m pretty happy with my form and breathing, and either the shoe is finally losing that high arch support or my foot is toughening up, I don’t know. My proposed run now looks like this: Ascent and descent stay the same, but I’m adding a [...]
Follow-up
28-May-09I posted this entry a month ago regarding the purchase of running shoes. Unlike most things, I was determined to not simply sit back and waste that purchase. I’m happy to report I’m running four times a week and I can run a full mile. Unlike DE, this isn’t a flat track. There’s an 85 [...]
