There’s still a ton of ice outside. I’m really hoping it warms up so I don’t slip and die when I run today. I spent 2 hours chipping ice off the driveway yesterday; unfortunately I cant’ run on *that*.
I wish horrible things upon your head.
I am so SICK of slipping and sliding and flailing and falling every time I go for a run because some inconsiderate fool can’t take 5 minutes to shovel his/her sidewalk. There is no excuses. None. Zero. I don’t care if you’re 80 years old. Hire someone to shovel [...]
Weather.com say it feels like -13.
Eff it…I took yesterday off. I NEED to run today. No guts, no glory.
Here’s hoping I have skin left when I return.
Sigh.
I woke up this morning full of energy, ready to tackle a 5-mile run after taking yesterday off. I get up, do my situps and pushups, wander into the kitchen to get something to drink, and notice the temperature: -2. Damn. That’s cold.
Here’s hoping it goes above 6 degrees. If so, I’ll run. I’ll be [...]

It was a difficult week, but a successful one!
I decided to start the new year off with a fast to cleanse my system. So on Monday I had my last meal of the week - a salad
I thought it would be much more difficult to not eat all week. But, after the first [...]
Well folks, it’s that time of the year again; time to make some resolutions and (hopefully) stick to them.
So, for 2009 my goals are:
Lose my ever-increasing belly
Run the Pittsburgh Marathon
Run (and finish!) an ultra-marathon, preferably a 50-miler. August, perhaps?
Work out more days than not
Find full-time, enjoyable employment
Here’s hoping
So I watched Transporter 3 the other night, starring Jason Statham and a bunch of other people who aren’t important enough to mention.
As much as I love Statham movies, they really shouldn’t have made a 2nd Transporter movie, let alone a third. The basic premise of this movie is that Frank (Statham’s character) has to [...]
Hey, that rhymed!
Anyways…I needed a change of pace today (no pun intended, haha) so I parked under the Birmingham Bridge and ran on the Southside trail for 4 miles. My main goal was to get a nice run in without hills, and you can’t get much flatter than the river trail. I feel pretty good, [...]

I stumbled across this article while google searching Steve Prefontaine (my hero!). While I would personal put Prefontaine a little higher on the list, maybe 5 or 4, I think the list is a fair one. I am wondering how the heck Frank Shorter didn’t even make it on the list…c’mon!
