Twin Cities Runner: March 2015
http://tchuskerrunning.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Twin Cities Runner - Coaching. Friday, March 27, 2015. MDRA 7 Mile: It's Goal Time. Saturday will be the third time I've run the Minnesota Distance Running Association 7 Mile. The last time I ran it was in 2012 when I ran 41:05. In 2011 I ran it in 40:44, but it the course was short, registering only 6.8 miles on my Garmin, so I'm going to have to count the 2012 race as my PR for good conscience. Still, I'm going to give it a shot. Running under 40:08 will be a stretch- I'll need to average under 5:4...

Twin Cities Runner: August 2015
http://tchuskerrunning.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Twin Cities Runner - Coaching. Thursday, August 27, 2015. The Blessings of Running: Senses. Lately, I've been feeling a little down. Besides feeling an emotional ennui, I've also been dealing with a lot of aches and pains. Running has not been easy. A couple of weeks ago, I caught part of an On Being episode on the radio as I was driving. The interview was so intriguing, I had to wait in my driveway to finish a section of the interview. A Blessing for the Senses". May your body be blessed. May the Eros o...

Twin Cities Runner: Race Report: Wood Duck Days 5k
http://tchuskerrunning.blogspot.com/2015/06/race-report-wood-duck-days-5k.html
Twin Cities Runner - Coaching. Thursday, June 25, 2015. Race Report: Wood Duck Days 5k. There's nothing more Minnesotan than a weekend at the "cabin." As a Minnesota transplant, I've learned that a "cabin" simply refers to any structure on or near a body of water in which a person can sleep. A cabin could be anything from an A-frame log cabin, to a 14 bedroom, 8 bathroom structure equipped with an indoor swimming pool and furnished with Armani-leather, jewel-encrusted sofas and recliners. A couple hours ...

Twin Cities Runner: December 2014
http://tchuskerrunning.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Twin Cities Runner - Coaching. Sunday, December 28, 2014. It happened again: I lived another year without dying. To celebrate, for the fourth year-in-a-row, last month I ran one kilometer for every year I've survived on this harsh planet. For those keeping score, that's thirty two kilometers. So, I asked a nice biker (the kind that wears spandex, not leather) if I could borrow his cell phone, and I called Laura and told her to come and pick me up. The phone rang about seven times. I really did no...Merry...

Twin Cities Runner: Weekend Reading: Running with the Kenyans
http://tchuskerrunning.blogspot.com/2015/07/weekend-reading-running-with-kenyans.html
Twin Cities Runner - Coaching. Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Weekend Reading: Running with the Kenyans. It's been way too long since I've written a book review. Recently, I reorganized my book shelves by category, and found I'd read about fifteen running books I've failed to review. Running with the Kenyans" was the most recent. Written by Adharanand Finn, a journalist for The Guardian, "Running with the Kenyans" asks and answers the question, "what makes the Kenyans so good? Then you should read this book...

Twin Cities Runner: February 2015
http://tchuskerrunning.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Twin Cities Runner - Coaching. Wednesday, February 18, 2015. In my post on my 2015 training, I mentioned that I'd mapped out which races I'd be running in 2015. Some of these "races" are events that I'll be pacing, so I won't be doing any actual "racing" at them. I've got one or two races planned I haven't done before, but most of my races are repeats. I'm excited to see how this race goes after my winter of training. If I keep on my current trajectory, this winter will be the most mileage I've run s...

Twin Cities Runner: October 2014

Twin Cities Runner - Coaching. Monday, October 20, 2014. Chicago Marathon: Race Report. Let's start with the end: I finished the marathon in 3:03:17. My streak of sub-3 hour marathons has ended at three.While this race was tough, there was nothing that really surprised me about it, though the end of a marathon is always harder than I remember the last one being. As the race got going I knew I was dressed perfectly besides not wearing my sunglasses. The forecast said it would be "mostly cloudy," but a...
