Surprisingly, I had a really good week of running. Netting 71 didn’t feel like too much of a jump, and the long run was a nice way to finish off the seven-day stretch. On Tuesday (workout day) I had a couple partners in crime out there, as the Kean-Machine (Erik Kean) and Tim [...]
No time for philosophical rants these days. If I am going to try and get back a little consistency, I have to start logging (and posting) my mileage again.
After another restart a few weeks ago, I am feeling healthy and 100% injury free. However, that’s today. Tomorrow I could easily cramp up on my run and [...]

Some people out there may know that I give swimming a chance a couple weeks ago. That did not turn out well. [...]
It’s depressing. I won’t try to kid myself with the idea that things are getting better.
Last week I went to see an orthopedic specialist in Chevy-Chase. His review of my situation finally netted an answer to the big question, what is wrong with me? Well, it turns out it’s not my hamstring, [...]
