    Training Totals Week Ending 10.16.2011

    RECAP: This week was the turn around, I can feel it. I hit rock bottom in my running, thought about giving it up for a while, and then rebounded and ran through the streets of Columbus, Ohio of all places loving the feel of covering ground. It was not a great week numbers wise, or…

  • Its my blog and I’ll whine if I want to

    Ugh. Right now I am in a state of why do I even do this? Grunted through a miserable loop in the park last night and woke up this morning with a pretty sharp pain in my left ankle (again). Perhaps I need to realize this just isn’t my sport, perhaps I should just head…

    A man, a plan…

    Last year I found myself reading nothing but genre fiction. It was all spaceships and murders. I was putting off the heavy lifting of my other interests in favor of flying through a lot of fiction. So, being a man who likes a schedule, I set up a routine. I now rotate through my interests,…

  • Next year?

    I am disappointed in myself that I let work and a stupid speed workout get in the way of my fall training, but them’s the breaks. Dropping out of Philly is definitely the right choice, and I even feel a sense of relief knowing that I won’t be suffering for four plus hours at the…

  • Training Totals for the Week of 10/9/2011

    RECAP: When I started running seriously last year, I was training for the Vermont Marathon. My mantra when I dragged myself out in the snow and cold that winter was “respect the race”. At that time I had run one marathon, badly, and I didn’t want to do that again. So I rarely missed a…

    Schmahmann’s The Double Life of Alfred Buber

    The Double Life of Alfred Buber I received this as a review copy from the Permanent Press, an excellent independent publisher based in New York. The Permanent Press is one of only a few literary independent publishers left who take the chance to publish serious novels by little known writers. I admire that. And I…

  • Paleo Running — Day One Reflections

    Written for another blog years ago, posted here for prosperity. I may not be cut out for dieting. Yesterday started off fine. Eggs with spinach for breakfast, then a salad for lunch, but by three o’clock I was having a really hard time concentrating, and in my line of work, concentrating is the name of…

    Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors

    Comedy of Errors (Arden Shakespeare) William Shakespeare Last year I decided I was going to read the Bard’s works in chronological order, who knew that was going to be such a trying ordeal? I warn you, before you get to Lear and Hamlet you have to go through the long and turgid Richard the VI…

  • Paleo Running

    Originally published for another blog a long long time ago. Posted here for posterity (I guess?). In the world of training, we are all experiments of one. How much should you run? When should you run? How Fast?  What kind of shoes should you wear? What should you eat? How much should you eat? All…
