Running Again
I started the long road back to running this week – 3.5 miles of run walk combination completed in 38:40 for an average of a 12:54 mile. It was slow, it was boring, but it was running, pain free running and it has been a long, long time since I have run without pain. At…

Training Update
It is Thursday and I haven’t done a weekly recap yet, that should tell you what kind of a week it has been. Nonstop work-a-thon and it shows no sign of letting up. The only night I got out at a reasonable time was yesterday, and thankfully I had good session at the climbing gym.…

Weight and the Marathoner

Milo and the Calf
There are many versions of the story of Milo and the calf. Today, I’ll use this one: To become the greatest wrestler in Greece, to win six Olympic laurels in wrestling, Milo had to train like the rest of us. His method? Borrow a new born calf and carry it around Croton day after day,…
