Are We Ready to Rock and Roll? I say this way too often, but damn! Time flies. When I first decided, back in January, to sign up to run my first marathon in over eight years, this date seemed so far away. Yet now, in two more days, I’ll be standing at the start line […]
Best Words Ever: It’s Taper Time!
Let me repeat that. Best words ever: It’s taper time! It is two weeks until Rock and Roll San Diego, and I have completed the hardest part of my training. Alan and I ran our last long run on Sunday, 20 miles (my second 20-miler in two weeks). Now, we will gradually taper down first […]
Run Through Redlands Half Marathon

Our Ragnar Adventure, Part 2. The Recap

My Weird Nostalgic 12 Mile Running Tour of Palm Springs
I had a very “not much to write about” week of running, so I’m not going to bore you with the details of each run. Suffice it to say that with the exception of a fairly decent tempo run, the week in running was, well, weak. Good thing it was a cut back week because […]
