January 24, 2014 Well, I forgot my post last week. Whoops! I’m attempting to stick to my training plan but being under the weather will crimp that style quite quickly. Last week I did get in a few decent runs. This week has been better. I’ve gotten some runs in and had a good, speedier run on the treadmill yesterday. …

Friday…Finally – 2nd Edition
January 10, 2014 Well, this week’s training has been derailed by a lovely headcold and just plain cold weather.

Accepting limitations and welcoming the Christmas season
December 10, 2013 As much as I’d like to run on my midfoot, I have realized that it’s just not possible without injury. In 1999, I had surgery on my foot to remove a bone spur in between my big toe and second toe. It tore up all kinds of stuff and created damage in my big toe joint leaving …
