Blog Like the Wind: Gazelle in Exile
http://bloglikethewind.blogspot.com/2008/10/gazelle-in-exile.html
Blog Like the Wind. Diary of a casual runner turned all serious. Thursday, October 23, 2008. Wednesday, October 8th- -. Things aren't going smoothly. I’m way down in it and I’m struggling big time. Leg turnover is sloppy, my breathing overwrought. I’m clunky, cranky, I’m peering over the edge. Dig Deep! Robert. Push on through. Crank. It. Out. And then, finally, thank the gods, it ends. Finis. I don’t have to endure one more second. I look at my watch. I step off the elliptical trainer. Wilke, I love you!

Blog Like the Wind. Diary of a casual runner turned all serious. Sunday, October 26, 2008. Friday, October 10th- -. I tow my unmotivated, demoralized lug of self into the gym for yet another day of cardio-lameness. I’m starting to recognize the regulars. Sweatpants dude. Blonde lady with Texas flag running shorts. The 56-year-old in the Under Armour body suit. A guy who only goes backwards on the Arc Flex. Change it up, dude, change it up. I pass a heavyset fellow I see a lot hunched over a Stairmaster.

Blog Like the Wind. Diary of a casual runner turned all serious. Friday, June 27, 2008. My new running coach. I introduce myself. “Hi, I’m-“.

You finally settled on the Mizuno LTW DS XT 3 Wavesomethingorother. 11 1/2. B .”. I was a bit stunned by Gilbert’s remarkable memory. I've seen you.". We discuss my 10-marathon ...

Blog Like the Wind: Failure to Communicate
http://bloglikethewind.blogspot.com/2008/10/failure-to-communicate.html
Blog Like the Wind. Diary of a casual runner turned all serious. Friday, October 10, 2008. Monday morning I walk into the office I share with Lindsey and Allison, a bit of a half-spring, half-limp in my step. 8220;Good morning, ladies.”. 8220;Morning.”. 8220;Morning, Robert.”. Lindsey pulls her eyes up from the monitor and stares at me for a second. 8220;Wow. Pleats.”. 8220;Yep. Thought I’d move my wardrobe into 2008, know what I mean? I settle in, turn on my computer, enter my password. 8220;Because, Li...

Mike's BROTH: Putting the OTH in my BROTH
http://mikesbroth.blogspot.com/2006/12/putting-oth-in-my-broth.html
Friday, December 29, 2006. Putting the OTH in my BROTH. When I first started this blog way back when (ok, two months ago), I decided to call it "Mike's BROTH", or Mike's Blog of Running and Other Things Happening. I recently realized that all of the blogs I have written have all been about Running, and not Other Things Happening. So today I have decided to put the OTH in my BROTH. First off, if there is any blog that I would love to emulate, it would be Carrie's Tritobefunny. And then we had our wedding ...

Mike's BROTH: February 2007
http://mikesbroth.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 20, 2007. Brushing the blogwebs off. Yeah yeah, I know.I have been a complete slacker with the blogs the last couple of months. I could come up with many excuses, but I won't even bother going there. It's not like I had a mob of people demanding a new entry. I did have Thon and Richard bug me, but despite their Italian-like methods of motivation during runs, I wouldn't call them a mob. Besides AustinFit, I did run a lot with Hava to help her train for her first half-marathon! Ok, so bac...

Mike's BROTH: January 2007
http://mikesbroth.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 08, 2007. 30K with Austin Fit. On Saturday I did a 30K run with AustinFit. The course. Was meant to mimic some of the AT&T Marathon course. It was a pretty challenging course, with many upward inclines and hills on Exposition. I was not sure how well I would do.or if I would make it at all, but I kept a positive attitude. Seriously, it has been less than a month since the marathon! It was still a good run for me, my legs feel good and I fell like I am getting my cardio back! I never reali...
