I will concede one point about the weather: it is hard to plan runs when we’ve had so many thunderstorms. Running when there is lightning is dangerous; I won’t do it, and will boldly diagnose anyone as crazy who thinks it is a good idea. It is a particular challenge to [...] Read more...How ’bout that weather?Monday, July 27th, 2009“When is summer going to get here?” “It’s so cold!” “Enough rain already!” Around the water cooler. At the grocery store. Everywhere I go there are people crabbing about the weather. I suppose that’s no different from any other time; if it’s not that it’s “is it hot enough for ya?” Personally, I have no [...] Read more...Congrats to all the Ironman athletesMonday, July 27th, 2009I have always marveled at those folks who compete in Ironman triathlons. Each of the three events on its own is a challenge but to finish the 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and 26.2 mile run on one day is amazing to me. Yesterday was the Lake Placid Ironman and several of my [...] Read more...It’s all about communitySunday, July 26th, 2009Yesterday while we were out on our weekly long run, we saw a man riding a bike with a dog running along beside him. As he passed us, we said hello to the man, then put on our best talking-to-animals voices to greet the dog. We caught up to them again at a red light, [...] Read more...Superfoods for Superheroes!Thursday, July 23rd, 2009Just 1 day after I posted about 10 similarities between runners and superheroes, I followed a link from a “tweet” on Twitter to an article about Superfoods! (it was “tweeted” by @askbod if you’re wondering – and if you’re not on Twitter that was probably one of the weirdest sentences you’ll have read today…) I [...] Read more...Top 10 similarities between runners and superheroesTuesday, July 21st, 2009In no particular order… Above average strength. Above average speed. Some have bionic body parts! Not to mention fan clubs! They run around in spandex! Tell me this Fuel Belt doesn’t look like a Batman utility belt… Some of them really fly! They get respect and admiration. …yet they are often misunderstood Many of them [...] Read more...This Way to ChangeMonday, July 20th, 2009In running, much like life, the smallest changes can lead to the biggest results. However, sometimes when all those little changes are no longer providing what you’re after, it’s time to make a BIGGER change. Now, I’m not talking ‘new $200 shoes’ big here, I’m talking: new perspective, new approach, new attitude BIG! Because it’s [...] Read more...Hop to it!Sunday, July 19th, 2009The season usually starts in April, somewhere near Easter, definitely after most or all of the snow has melted. It lasts through the spring, and you sometimes get stragglers here and there throughout the summer. If you run in town, or otherwise cover a lot of suburban sidewalk, you might have guessed it: hopscotch. I’ve [...] Read more...Let them eat…salad!Thursday, July 16th, 2009For those of you wondering, there was no cake at the 25th anniversary 20 Minute Challenge last night. They must have learned a lesson about putting a cake in a room full of runners at their 20th anniversary, when the Guelph store had 3/4 of a giant slab cake left at the end of the [...] Read more... |
