Monday, January 28, 2013. Ups and Downs of Endurance Running. Foothills of Mt. Lee. The last couple weeks has been filled with ups and downs, but that is t normal with endurance running. There are ups where you have a great run and you feel like you can go for miles and miles at a pace you had no idea you could run. And, when you’re down, they feel really down. You feel like you can barely complete this run and the pace is much slower than you’d like. Most training plans suggest that you increase your we...

I remember when I first. Tuesday, January 6, 2015. Dancing - Because I Can! From the oldest of times, people danced for a number of reason...

Marathon Shape: July 2015
http://marathonshape.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 17, 2015. I had the best of intentions when packing to go film in Atlanta and then travel to Boston and Connecticut to see friends and family. I packed my running shoes, pants, Garmin watch. And various lengths of running shirts. Heck, during filming I woke up early one morning and contemplated hitting the gym. Instead, I rationalized with my sleep deficit more sleep would be better. Instead of going to the gym, I slept and then had breakfast of waffles and peanut butter. Back to square one.

Thursday, April 16, 2015. I got out of my car at the Sherman Oaks/Van Nuys Park like it was nothing. I didn’t expect anything miraculous. I’m undertrained and I have been struggling with my runs. I keep meaning to print out a new Hal Higdon training schedule. I keep meaning to sign up for a new race to give me something to push for. I have friends running Boston, Big Sur… running.

Sunday, March 3, 2013. A quick (and very rough) post…. Because I’m tired, but I need to write. February 17, 2011 I returned to work after I took a leave of absence for my emergency brain surgery. I wasn’t quite doing a full 8-hour day and the driving in LA traffic. February 17, 2013 I had another runners’ high while I ran the Pasadena Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon. I was so exhausted I fell asleep in the machine and didn’t even feel the poisonous contrast enter my body. By eight o’clock that...They kindly b...
