I’ve been out of town for about a week and a half. First to Orlando, where they are having some sort of cold spell, and then to Detroit, where they are having a heat wave. By heat wave, I mean it’s getting up to about 30° every day. I went to college in the Midwest,… Read more »

My job often brings me to some challenging cities for running. Vegas. Orlando. Orlando. Vegas. Orlando has some great places to run, to be sure. The problem is that I’m often staying on the Disney World property which is not runner friedly. The resorts are often accessed only by 55 mph roads populated by drivers… Read more »

I am a total fanboy for Ascent, an amazing running and biking tracker for the Mac. It syncs with just about any GPS, including my Garmin 305, and provides more detail than any one person should need. I guess I feel a bit guilty in saying that running for me can be very much about… Read more »

The RunnerDude’s Blog notes a page at Runner’s World which I think is well worth checking out: I’ve often thought how great it would be if I had a program that would pop up on my screen each morning with exactly what I’m supposed to wear for running that day. Well, I haven’t found that, but… Read more »

John Bingham has a blog post today with some good advice about what to wear in the cold weather. The rule of thumb is to dress for a temperature that is about 15 degrees warmer than what the thermometer says, because you’re going to warm up as you run. So, if it’s 35 degrees outside,… Read more »

I think all runners have pre-race anxiety to some level. I do, no matter how big or small the race. Usually I wind up setting multiple alarms, and am up 2 hours before I need to be in any case. Saturday night I set up alarm for 4:30pm, thinking I was setting it for, well,… Read more »
