  • The 3H’s Hills, Heat and Humidity = Tough 13.5

    I don’t know what it is about travelling, but all today, I have felt dead tired! Well now that I am back home, it is time to get back to running longer runs and see how the Altra Instincts do. So of course, I ran 13 plus, which is not exactly what Altra recommends that…

  • Finally Taking a Rest Day

    Today I flew back from Minnesota, which meant that I was up early (4:00 A.M. early). While I had a great time in Minnesota, the trip out, not sleeping in my own bed, eating a “little” differently, playing with the grand children (they have limitless energy), running in 90+, with high humidity almost every day…

  • Week In Review 7/22/12

    I have been out in Minnesota since Thursday visiting my daughter and seeing my grandkids. So I haven’t really been online all that much. It has been pretty cool seeing my 4 grandkids and doing stuff with them. We have gone to the zoo, parks and just been really busy doing stuff. I also did…

  • Easy 6.0 and only in the 80s 7/22/12

    I finally caught a break in the weather, I didn’t get to run in 90 degree temps again today, it was only 85 when I finished . Oh well, I think I am starting to get acclimated to the heat, because I ran the 6.0 mile course that I found out here about 3:30 minutes…

  • Run With the Son In Law 7-21-12

    Things have been pretty hectic out here in Minnesota the last few days, but I have still been able to get my runs in. I was actually going to take a day off from running and break this streak that I have going by accident. However, last night my son-in-law asked to go for a…

  • Still Running in 90 Degrees 7/20/12

    I ran a little earlier today and when I went by the temperature display on the way by Mystic Lake Casino area it read 95 degrees, so it was still a damn hot run! So I just took it easy and worked on my form in the Altra Instincts. Today, I didn’t have any problems…

  • Altra Instincts First Impressions

    The Instincts have always been high on my list of shoes to check-out, but I really wanted to try them on before went ahead and bought a pair. Appearances are Deceiving I don’t know why, to me they just really looked clunky and well like a “slow” shoe. Even though they are listed as a…

  • Running in Minnesota 7/19/12

    Today I travelled to Minnesota to see my youngest daughter and my four grandchildren, it was a little bit of an adventure, but I got here with no problems. The grandchildren are great and my daughter looks great for just having a baby a few months ago. On the way here I did screw-up a…

  • New Blog Header and What the Photos Mean

    Why is getting you blog’s header “just right” so important. It is usually the first thing that people see when they visit your blog and it can provide them a pretty good idea of who you are and what your blog is about. I have chosen to go with a more personal blog header, since…

  • 8.0 Miles Done and a Form Video 7/18/12

    Happy Birthday to my oldest daughter Jenni today. Three days in a row of no GPS while running, I went a little longer today, which meant that I had my Nathan hydration belt on, so I carried my flip phone and camera along. Kind of glad that I did, you get to see the salamander…
