kansai kudasai: September 2014
http://kansaikudasai.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. I totally missed any type of recognition on the actual date I first posted, however, I did want to take a moment to point out that I've been writing Kansai Kudasai for an entire year! If you are a newer reader, you should check out my first post, What's in a Name. Where I talk about the impetus for the blog and more! Speaking of blog names, I'm going to plug my friend Eric's blog, Baum Temple of Speed. Which has a name origin story. One week to go! The marathon is a cruel and ...

Sunday, January 25, 2015. A Runners Guide to Memphis, TN. I was recently in Memphis, TN for five days for my sister, Rachel's wedding (Rachel hates it when I refer to her exclusively as "my sister"). If you find yourself in Memphis, TN, here are my recommendations for where to run (important), where not to run (even more important), where to eat (most important), and more. You're gonna need to run eating like this in Memphis! In my limited experience, Shelby Farms Park. Tour de Wolf (Shelby Farms Park).

Thursday, October 16, 2014. Race Recap: 2014 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Since I'm going away for the weekend, I want to make sure I get some thoughts written down about this race.

kansai kudasai: Race Recap: 2015 Boston Marathon
http://kansaikudasai.blogspot.com/2015/04/race-recap-2015-boston-marathon.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. Race Recap: 2015 Boston Marathon. I gladly add my voice yet again to those who have sung praises to the Boston Marathon. After completing my second consecutive race ( race recap for my first. I can understand why one might return year after year as some runners do (the longest streak is 48 consecutive finishes. As last year, I was fortunate enough to have access to the Boston365. I was also blessed with encouragement from across the country (social media at its best! So that may a...

Saturday, June 28, 2014. Race Recap: 2014 Grandma's Marathon. I'd be remiss if I didn't begin with a thank you: thanks for reading, and for the kind, supportive texts/tweets/posts/photos/tags/etc! After rushing to O'Hare (I'm usually late-ish), my flight was canceled shortly after arriving (late) to my gate. This was about 16 hours prior to the 7:45am start of the 2014 Grandma's Marathon. I felt good about driving, but I could not have done it without help! We were fortunate to have a cool, but not cold ...

kansai kudasai: July 2014
http://kansaikudasai.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 7, 2014. Aside: Three Floyds Brewery Ride. One of my "goals" for the summer was to bike to Three Flyods Brewery. In Munster, IN. Particularly after talking with my friend Javier about the Austin to Shiner ride (I guess it's called Shiner GASP). While we were training through Chicago's Polar Vortex for the Boston Marathon. Since the prospect of doing a long run and an 80 mile bike ride on the same weekend didn't sound too appealing, I decided to schedule the ride after Grandma's Marathon.

Thursday, April 24, 2014. My 2014 Boston Marathon Weekend. The weekend started Friday, April 18th with an easy 8 miler to Palmer Square prior to my flight to Boston. Once in Boston, I checked into the Adidas Boston365. VIP area at the Marriott Copley. Mini hotel review: a very convenient place to stay marathon weekend, the elevators are noticeably sluggish). Adidas has partnered with Fleet Feet Sports nationwide to put together the Boston365. Just a few of my new (and old) Boston365 friends. Which was wo...

Sunday, December 7, 2014. Dailymile Aid: Visualizing Exported Data. I stopped using dailymile. Because when you export your training log it gets spit out in CSV format which looks like this:. On top of this, run distance is spit out in meters and run duration in seconds. After learning about SAP Lumira. At work and downloading the free home edition, I decided my dailymile training log stretching from June 2011 to June 2014 in CSV format was the perfect data set to load into this new tool. After looking a...
