Josie has never run a marathon. I thought this would be a huge missing piece in her life so I decided to sign her up for one. I also though it was going to be a good idea for me to move forward and try to get myself back...

My Favorite Running Manuals
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...

F**k, I Gotta Run: A Love Story
I am a runner. If you have read any of my previous blogs, you will know that. I have been since the age of 14. Running and I have a relationship, much like a husband and wife. At first, there is that lust stage (which is a very short period...

Super Bowl XXLIV or XXVVIL or Whatever It Is In Roman Numerals
It is Super Bowl and, even though I have not watched a lot this year (look at my blog archives and you will know why), I feel the need to weigh in on this game. I do every year. I know about the teams and think I know who is...

RIP Chief Wahoo!
The Cleveland Indians baseball team made a surprise (sort of) move yesterday by getting rid of its mascot and symbol, Chief Wahoo. I am no social justice warrior (everyone who has read my past posts know about this) but I think this is not a surprising turn of events....

Race Report: The San Diego 50 Mile, Part 3
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...

Race Report: The San Diego 50 Mile, Part 2
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...

Race Report: The San Diego 50 Mile, Part 1
This is my report for the San Diego 50 trail race. I figured it would be best to post this as a blog entry instead of writing it down in my running journal because then others can see it and it would be backed up for all eternity (I...

Adieu NFL!
I woke up on Sunday morning after a long Saturday night and picked up some eggs and assorted vegetables. My head was throbbing a bit still, but I knew a couple of glasses of water and some coffee would knock that out. I got back home and started...

A Sport that Just Can’t Get Out of Its’ Own Way: Canelo vs. GGG
I heard that quote that night. I do not know who said it but I thought it would make a great title. I was not going to post about this because I had a post a few years ago explaining why boxing is not a sport. Well, it was...
