A Cut-Back Week – Week In Review 5-20-18
Spring is definitely in the air, my allergies are kicking in gear pretty good, the hummingbirds are back and the lawn has been mowed more than it should be for this time of year. The weather has been mostly good for running, it is so nice to be outside. My favorite photo from the week…

First Run Skechers GOMeb Razor 2 – RunLog 5-20-18
I finally ran in the Skechers GOMeb Razor 2’s that Sam at Road, Trail, Run was nice enough to give me a few weeks ago. I have put off running in them because I was pretty sure they were going to be a bad pair of ankle biters and I really hate blisters. The stiffer…

A Quick 5.0 Miler – RunLog 5-19-18
This morning was beautiful running weather, just a little bit of a breeze so I definitely wanted to get a nice 5.0 miler in. After yesterday’s 7.0 miler, I didn’t want to make the same mistake I made last Saturday by doing a hilly run to abuse the Hamstring anymore than I have to. So…

Goodhue O/B = Nice Run – RunLog 5-18-18
The first run since that little hamstring flare-up that it didn’t talk dirty to me at all on the run. Phew!!!! I will keep things conservative for another week as far as the speed and hills go, but it seems like I dodged one this time. It was also a gorgeous day for a run,…

Attacked By An Apple Tree – RunLog 5-17-18
I really feel kind of foolish, how else do you feel when you are viciously attacked by the apple tree in your yard, while mowing the lawn and the damn apple tree wins the battle. Damnit I know where there is a chainsaw and I know how use it. Hehehee Anyway, this is what happens…

Running on the Rail Trail – RunLog 5-16-18
This morning I got to run on the Rail Trail down in Augusta. It is one of my favorite places to run in the area and after yesterday’s 2.0 miles, I wanted to see how the hamstring felt today. No problems. When I got down there, they were working on the new trailhead and the…

Why Do I Still Do Running Shoe Reviews
Yesterday another runner in a Facebook group I am a member of made an off-hand observation/suggestion/feedback/comment about reviewing running shoes to me, after I shared my Saucony Zealot ISO 3 review there. Which got me to thinking about why I am still writing running shoe reviews on my blog and if they serve any purpose.…

Surprise 2.0 Miler – RunLog 5-15-18
Yeah, I didn’t think that I would run until later this week, if at all. After Saturday’s shortened run due to my right hamstring complaining way too much, I decided to take a few days off and let my hamstring stop complaining. Sunday was a really easy day and I forced myself to to rest…

Saucony Zealot ISO 3 – 50 Mile Review
Have you ever had a shoe that you bought, loved the initial step-in fit and feel that you decided that your first run in them was going to be your weekly long run. After about 3-4 miles in you go to yourself “you really are stoopid aren’t you!” Then you suffer more than you want…

Happy Mother’s Day and Week in Review 5-13-18
Well since I will not be running for at least a couple of days, I can start my week in review post a little earlier than usual. First Off – Happy Mother’s Day to all you mom’s out there. My mom died a few years back and I miss her every day. Yeah, things are…

Not What I Expected & Angry Hamstring – RunLog 4-12-18
The plan today was to go out and do an easy 5.0 miler around the Middle Road. The temps were perfect, just a bit of a breeze and I was feeling really good, good enough to work more on keeping my feet straight. Plus I needed just about 5.0 miles to get 50 miles on…

Altra Running How I Would Love Thee At 4-6MM
Last Tuesday, I did something I have not done in a long, long time. I ran in Altra Running Shoes. Actually that day I ran short distances in three Altra Running Models and it reminded me of how much I loved Altra Running shoes and that I probably should try them again. I have been…
