Team Spiridon: October 2009
http://teamspiridon.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 10, 2009. Chop wood. carry water. run. OK Bedding down a little later than I'd like. This morning, looking at the start/finish area, and the people getting last easy runs in (I did not), I felt that the condition of my body and my heart didn't merit my being here. This should be more than a matter of showing up: you should feel a kinship based in shared experience and faith. . So now, I just sleep, and in 9.5 hours, I just run. Chop wood. Carry water. Run. .

Friday, January 21, 2011. Help Needed for Ten Dogs In San Antonio. Is there anyone out there that can help out? With this e-mail, I am sending. There will be a transition of approximately one week, where dogs currently impounded at Brooks need to get out of there ASAP. Or be killed. While the transition is underway, it will be impossible. To hold dogs any longer than their required 72 hours no matter how adoptable they are. The photos attached with this e-mail are of ADORABLE dogs who will be killed at.

Team Spiridon: March 2010
http://teamspiridon.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 8, 2010. The Nerdy Essay On Hills. The thing is, you're better for running hills, whether your goal race is hilly or not. Arthur Lydiard. Arguably the greatest running coach of all time, realized it, ran his runners on crazy hills in New Zealand, and brought hardcore hill training to the coaching world. So, blame him, not me. Now, think also about the vector of gravity's pull. on a hill, it's not perpendicular to the ground, right? Next, the butt starts falling out behind you, changing your...

Team Spiridon: Marshmallows and Marathons
http://teamspiridon.blogspot.com/2010/10/marshmallows-and-marathons.html
Wednesday, October 13, 2010. My new job is such that I can turn out good numbers while listening to music, plotting running routes in my head, or finally catching up, after over a year, with podcasts of. This morning, one of the Radiolab podcasts was called " Mischel's Marshmallows. So, I'm listening to this, as I hope you will (it's only 15 minutes long), and I was excited because it actually feeds into one of the main reasons I enjoy coaching and feel that running is good for us. Feel free to comment.

Team Spiridon: Ditch the Headphones
http://teamspiridon.blogspot.com/2009/09/ditch-headphones.html
Wednesday, September 15, 2010. In 2007, USA Track and Field made personal music devices. At sanctioned events. The Austin Marathon and Half Marathon, as required, banned headphone use in 2008. Prior to that, lacking an enforcement mechanism, the marathon went with just strongly discouraging their use. In large part, the USATF enacted the rule to conform to the policy of the International Association of Athletics Federations, which is mainly concerned with the use of two-way radios in competition. One yea...

Monday, November 1, 2010. So, You Made Us Suffer for Two Miles. What's Your Point? OK, this is another exceedingly long post about stuff. I sort of fear being challenged on some of this - I'm no scientist, and I prefer to geek out on physics, but I can give you a poor, but usable, explanation of my poor understanding of what our bodies do, with some of the more hazily remembered numbers culled from the Internet, that bastion of infallibility. So, when a boy or girl reaches a certain age. Your VO2 max is ...

Team Spiridon: September 2009
http://teamspiridon.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 17, 2009. So, let's be smart about things, by means of my beloved bullet points:. Turn on your heartlight. I also run with these little guys. Black is the new way to get your butt run over. Run on the left, unless circumstances make this clearly the worst option. When you have cars coming at you, make eye contact, even wave at them. Make sure they see you. Take a buddy, or at least someone you can almost stand. Pick your route carefully. Run tough, act tough, be tough. One year, one o...

Friday, January 29, 2010. So, here's the update from Brian, who's had two appointments with physical therapists this week:. My marathon just got a little more "marathonier". i have a few minor tears in my patella tendon where it meets my knee. i also have a "weak left side"-i am still a democrat and i am still gonna run damn it! I haven't done a good job with that in a while, but you guys have been unwittingly reminding me along the way. I think everyone has been sick or injured at some point this se...
