The worst thing about everything that is going on – all those “black swan” events that seem to be raging around us…well for me at least, is that I have even more difficulty focusing on writing and working at controlling the things that I can control. I don’t believe that I am alone with these thoughts, mood swings and the inability to focus on the … Continue reading Chi-Pose or Pose-Chi with A Splash of Dicharry on the Side
Okay, I have to admit it, I got a bit frustrated with the right leg yesterday and didn’t do a whole lot more than the Pose Method Lesson 2 drills, an aborted 1:00 minute run and some walking later after I had a chance to think about things. It was time to re-fill the optimism cup and do what I set out to do for … Continue reading Refilling the Cup – RunLog August 8, 2020
Okay, the right butt cheek/upper right leg is still bothering enough that I wouldn’t be running on it right anyway, so the continuing onward and upward with the Pose Method looks even better than it did when I started. Although I have to admit, the discomfort in my arse is a pain in the arse when it comes to doing most of the leg stretches … Continue reading Pose Method Day 4 – RunLog August 6, 2020
Well…a bit frustrated, but nothing serious. It seems that the Pose Method warm-up activity and stretches were a bit too intense or aggressive for my right Periformis or Upper Hamstring, because after yesterday’s workout, that area was complaining pretty loudly. Which means that I will probably skip the leg stretching portions of the warm-up and focus more on the drills until it clears back up. … Continue reading Two Step Forward, One Step Back – RunLog August 5, 2020
Happy U.S. Coast Guard Day! The other time in my life where I felt a part of something that was good and meaningful. Semper Paratus as we celebrate the oft times forgotten military service’s birthday today. It will always have a special place in my heart and life. The Coast Guard was more than a job, it was a lifestyle and one that I do … Continue reading Pose Method – Day 2 – August 4, 2020
Today is the first day of attempting, trying, starting and all those other words we use when we are not sure of how something will turn out and even if it is the correct thing to do. With so much conflicting information about whether you can, if you should, or simply whether it is a waste of time to attempt to change your running form, … Continue reading The Pose Method – Day 1 – RunLog August 3, 2020
I am going through the exercises in the book “The Running Revolution” aka the Pose Method and the first one is a writing down my running biography. I have done this in more depth in my Running Story page, which if it interests you can read here. I will do a much shorter summary in this post. I have been running since 1971 when I … Continue reading And So It Begins – My Running Life
I am tired, allergies are kicking in, more than a little frustrated and probably have too much time on my hands. None of which is all that good, especially when I have another of those mystery injuries that start as a nagging little thing, that grew suddenly into something that is bad enough for me to say I need to take some down-time from running. … Continue reading Time to Change Things Up a Little
