Ok, here we go. Good news: I woke up this morning and made my bed. Then I put away my clothes. Then I washed the dishes. Then I took a shower. Then I started this blog post. Hey, maybe that admiral guy and that world famous psychologist were on...
I should have said, “Oh, God,” but I did not want to take to Lord’s name in vain. I have a friend from the bible belt and he got bent that I said darn. I want him to read this so I decided to be right. The eight people...
I decided, today, to make a life change. Every morning I am going to get up and run before work. Why? Because I decided that, in the morning, before I do anything, I am going to do something for me and complete my daily task. Yes, I want to...
Josie and I were at the gas station, getting some coffee this morning. We got in line to pay and Josie says to me, “Why?” I think I know what she is talking about (we do have that kind of relationship where telepathy binds us). In front of us...

I was on Twitter today and I saw a post about the best running books out there. I thought this was quite a coincidence because I am finishing up on my favorite running book now (again, I might add). Of course, I posted my three favorites. But, long after I posted, I realized that I...

This is the last part of my race report. This part will be a lot shorter and will just go over the damage that occurred (blisters and so forth) and lessons learned. I use this simply to remind myself of what I need to do next time I race...
The first section of the report about the San Diego 50 mile race mainly covered the course. When I reached the halfway point, describing the course in reverse seems kind of worthless. Seeing that I was suffering to the point of quitting, I am going to go over what...
