Confession: over the past few years, I’ve had a love affair with Brooks. To be clear, though: these shoes were bought and paid for myself. These are not wear-test, discounted or free products. Sure, here and there I’ve strayed and tried out other shoes, but somehow I’ve always come back. I’ve been a member of [ READ MORE ]
As some of you know, I started a group run at work. We’re fortunate to have a corporate gym and an employer that supports health and fitness. Along the way, we picked up some new runners here and there, but to try to increase attendance and commitment, a couple of runners suggested a contest of [ READ MORE ]
Firstly, this was a great race! It was well organized, well supported and was run on a great course through some of the most meaningful landmarks commemorating our country. I was running on the Mack Trucks Military team, and we were there to raise visibility and awareness of Mack Trucks as a supplier to the [ READ MORE ]
It’s on my mind today since I just used the last of my Bodyglide stick, and it struck me how it has become a valuable part of my running toolkit.

Observation #1: When running any kind of speed workout, I much prefer flats [ READ MORE ]

Group runs? Bleh, who needs them? I’ll just go out on my own, or maybe with my one and only serious running partner, Kent P. At least that’s what I thought up until this week. I’ve been on some group runs before, mainly on business trips, and people are jetlagged and cranky, hungover, and are [ READ MORE ]
I bought one of these about a year ago mainly because I couldn’t figure out the logistics of my keys and other crap when going to races. I’ve used it in a few races and on a lot of training runs when I’m not wearing pockets with shorts. The belt itself does a pretty good [ READ MORE ]

I am fortunate enough to have the experience of traveling around a good portion of the world through business. Since I started running a couple of years ago (2 years next month!), I’ve had the opportunity to run in Brazil, China, France, Switzerland and Sweden as well as many places here in the US. This [ READ MORE ]
