Well, that week was a waste!
I ran on Monday last week - and that’s it. It was a crazy busy week and I worked for about 120 hours of it, never a good time to run. So this week I’m going at it anew and hereby swear to run every day. The good thing about […]
Eating Salmon
I’ve been so busy with work (trying to get a release out the door) and investor meetings that I haven’t been able to run the last two days. It’s very frustrating because I was on such a roll! I’m going running in the morning, and if I feel good I’m going to try […]

My Running History
I started running because of my wife, Adria. She first started running in late 2006 and just would not shutup about it! Finally, in early 2007 I caved and started running with her. The main reason I started out was that I somehow got the Marathon bug. Adria was always talking […]
Saturday and Monday Run Updates
Adria has been really really sick from dehydration for the last 3 days so I’ve been running solo. I’m really not sure what it is, but I’ve been feeling frisky/over-zealous/fantastic on my runs the last couple days. On both runs I met my training requirements - and just kept going. I felt […]
Great run today!
One of my favorite things to do is go exploring in the incredible mountains we live next to. So, when I recently found a very secluded spot in the foothills with miles of dirt roads spiderwebbing all over the place (it’s next to a power station and there are roads along all the power […]
Rough run today
Today was one of the worst runs I’ve had in a while. I’m not sure why, but my right leg (calf and quad) muscles were really tight and sore. I was doing 35 minutes at 150 HR which I haven’t been too vigilant with lately. Adria and I train together and I […]
Getting Started
Welcome to my running blog! I’ve been meaning to put this up for a while and just got around to it last night. I recently started running with my wife, who has been running for a while, and have adopted a training method called Heart Rate Training. Basically, when we run our […]
Why Heart Rate Training
When I first started running earlier this year, I was hurting myself - a lot. I wasn’t really aware of it in the sense that I acknowledged where my pain was coming from, I mean I obviously knew I was in pain, but I didn’t blame running - I blamed my body.
I have an […]
