My journey into running, health, and Minnesota. Saturday, July 13, 2013. Afton 50k Race Report. Afton 50K - 4,670 Ascent 4,670 Descent 9,340 Ft. Net Change. Maria and me running about mile 8.

I came in with a time of 5:45:20 at an 11:07 pace. I was 58th out of 168 starters, not to shabby for my first 50k! Coming into the finish line happy and hot! 8/24/13...

Resonant Runner: My First Marathon
http://resonantrunner.blogspot.com/2013/05/my-first-marathon.html
My journey into running, health, and Minnesota. Thursday, May 9, 2013. I ran the Run for the Lakes Marathon. It's in Nisswa, north of Brainard, and my wife and kids stayed with her sister in Crosby. They planned on coming out to see me for the last part of the race, when I figured I'd need the moral support. On the drive up we found out that her cousin now lives only a half mile from the race start, so I was able to stay there! Basically about as close to a hotel as I could get - thanks Angie and Jeremy!

Resonant Runner: Into (mostly) Barefoot Running
http://resonantrunner.blogspot.com/2013/05/into-barefoot-running.html
My journey into running, health, and Minnesota. Wednesday, May 8, 2013. Into (mostly) Barefoot Running. Since my first half marathon back in late October 2012, I felt I needed to make some major changes if I wanted to run better. First was to my change of shoes. I had begun running in a regular pair of sneakers, which caused me unbearable knee pain. I figured this was partially due to being a soccer player and having sustained knee injuries over the years (kicks, twists, nothing that. But at least my fee...

Resonant Runner: My foray into running and health - from NYC to MN
http://resonantrunner.blogspot.com/2013/05/my-foray-into-running-and-health-from.html
My journey into running, health, and Minnesota. Wednesday, May 1, 2013. My foray into running and health - from NYC to MN. A view of NYC before an amazing storm from Liberty Park in Jersey City. I mean, I no longer crashed at 10am, or after lunch, or before dinner, etc. I was energized! Workouts each week. What happened was amazing! The Monster Dash half marathon was on October 26, 2012. I wanted to start the race with my sister-in-law, Barb, who invited me to run the race, and was a huge inspiration...

Resonant Runner: Into (actual) Barefoot Running
http://resonantrunner.blogspot.com/2013/05/into-actual-barefoot-running.html
My journey into running, health, and Minnesota. Friday, May 17, 2013. Into (actual) Barefoot Running. A cool rusty windmill on the trail. My heel did NOT like this, and though I made it through to the end (of 11 miles total), I was limping slightly at the end. Which I did immediately, because there was no way I was going to give up my Saturday run. There were a lot of bikers on the trails during afternoon, and even a few runners too (yeah! Will I do it again? Well, I think, there's always Barefoot Ted.

Resonant Runner: Surviving Running in a Minnesota Winter
http://resonantrunner.blogspot.com/2013/05/surviving-running-in-minnesota-winter.html
My journey into running, health, and Minnesota. Wednesday, May 15, 2013. Surviving Running in a Minnesota Winter. This was my first winter living in Minnesota since I've moved back from NJ. I lived in MN for 12 years before I moved to the East Coast, and remember all to well the frigid icy cold that lasts from late October to well into April, so I was at least aware of the frozen tundra. Though by comparison to Wisconsin, North Dakota and Alaska winters, a Twin Cities winter is not too. I am a Woodward!
