The Running Briefs: January 2009
http://runningbriefs.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Me - "the Respondents." Him - "oh, so what do you do for them? Clearly thinking I'm about to say I'm a secretary or legal assistant). Me - "I'm on the brief." Him - stunned silence. Exercise is done against one's wishes and maintained only because the alternative is worse." - GEORGE SHEEHAN. When we find the joy in what we do, whether it's running or walking or yoga or spinning or swimming or any other activity, it's no longer "exercise." It's fun. And maybe it even becomes a way of life. The more I talk...

A running haiku for the day. So wanted to sleep. Got up and ran five instead,. So proud of myself. TIaRT - Running Injuries and Treatment. This is for Runner's Lounge Take It and Run Thursday. At any rate, that doesn't resolve the issue - what do you do with all those injuries? I'm certainly not a pro, but here are my top 5 ways of dealing with my own injuries:. 3 Rest - I really hate to take days off. I mean, I REALLY hate it. But I've gradually had to accept that sometimes it's better not to ru...5 Don...

The Running Briefs: Marathon Redemption - Weeks 14, 15, 16
http://runningbriefs.blogspot.com/2010/04/marathon-redemption-weeks-14-15-16.html
Marathon Redemption - Weeks 14, 15, 16. PARANOIA is in bloom,. The PR transmissions will resume. They'll push drugs that keep us all dumbed down,. And hope we never see the truth around. Another promise, another scene,. Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed. And all the green belts wrapped around our minds,. And endless red tape to keep the truth confined. They will not force us. They will stop degrading us. They will not control us. We will be VICTORIOUS. Come let the revolution take its toll.

The Running Briefs: Marathon Redemption - Weeks 11 and 12
http://runningbriefs.blogspot.com/2010/03/marathon-redemption-weeks-11-and-12.html
Marathon Redemption - Weeks 11 and 12. For so long my life's been sewn up tight inside your hold. And it leaves me there without a place to call my own. I know now what shadows can see. There's no point in running 'less you run with me. It's half the distance through the open door before you cut me down. Let me introduce you to the end. And I feel a cold wind blowing beneath my wings,. It always leads me back to suffering. But I will soar until the wind whips me down,. So tired now of paying my dues.

Marathon Redemption - Week 3. Only the wind can blow the answer,. And she cries to me when I'm asleep. She says you know that you can go much faster,. I know that people's talk can be so cheap. I got this voodoo child inveined on me,. I'm gonna use my power to ascend. You know I got these burning heels to use,. Sometimes there's no way to lose. I was born to run,. I was built to last. You'll never see my feet cause they move so fast. Nothing left for me to do but.dance! Jamiroquai - "Canned Heat". Wednes...

The Running Briefs: April 2009
http://runningbriefs.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
262, the race report. Actually starting the race. It was a completely surreal moment, crossing the start line to attempt a marathon. In the same neighborhood seeing two adorable little girls handing out trays of chocolate.and bacon. Bacon? Beka tells me that the guy next to her took a piece, which makes me feel better because I can't imagine many runners were eating bacon at mile 6 and I can only imagine these little girls would be crushed if no one ate their offerings. Turning onto the road that takes t...
