    I’m ready to run the Carmel Marathon weekend 8k race on Saturday. And I have a renewed excitement because the Boston Marathon bombers have been killed and caught. It will be a chilly morning, so I’ll probably be wearing a long sleeve shirt and gloves. And my new Boston Red Sox hat with a Boston…

    This morning, I checked on the results of the Boston marathon and felt good about the show the Americans put on. Shalane Flanagan and Kara Goucher for the women, and six American men in the top 15. I thought that was just great and went about my day. Then shortly after 3PM I received a…

    Today was a good day for a run. Went out for my 4 mile neighborhood loop and the temp was in the mid 60’s and the strong breeze felt pretty nice. That’s the longest I’ve run in a few months and it felt harder than I expected. But it felt good. Then I went and…

    I’m trying to get my running back on track by wearing my Saucony Guide 5 shoes with SOLE Softec Response footbeds. The Saucony Guide 5 is last year’s model of the Guide that I’ve had for about 9 months now, but never really used. The first pair seemed to get some fast treadwear and it…

    Yea, yea, the blog has been pretty quiet. Well, so has my running. After that Monumental Half Marathon I managed to run a 10K in December, and I decided to let my leg heal. I had a sore spot about 1/3 up my shin, right on the inside edge of the bone. If I had…

    I ran the Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon today in two hours and eleven minutes. But, it wasn’t the time that was important today. I just had a good time running! I got downtown at about 7:00 but the traffic was backed up getting in to the parking garage, so I didn’t get out of my…

    So, after a hard year of plantar fasciitis and shinsplints I feel like I am ready to run the Indianapolis monumental half marathon on Saturday. The training has not gone as well as I would have hoped but I feel like I am ready to run the full (half?)13.1 miles. I did some of the…

    Today I ran the Carmel Marathon Keybank 8k. It was the second year for the race weekend that consists of a full marathon, half marathon, 8k, and one mile family walk. Last year I ran the half marathon, but since I’m not yet back in shape to run 13.1 miles I opted for the 8k…

    After that half marathon a couple weeks ago I’ve come down with what feels like Plantar Fasciatis pain.  I took a week off and ran for a week with some mild pain, including a 14 mile run.  But, I’ve come to the conclusion that my feet won’t get better unless I completely stop running.  I…

    Today I ran the Emerald City Half Marathon in Dublin, Ohio! I left on Saturday and the first stop in town was at Fleet Feet Columbus for packet pickup. They were giving $50 off either the Asics Speedstar or DS-Trainer, so I just had to take advantage. The DS-Trainer was a shoe I had been…
