Running and Writing Do Mix
I had never really sensed a connection between my running life and my writing life, other than I’ve always been hesitant to call myself either a runner or a writer. Sure I wrote for a few newspapers, and finished a collection of short stories to fulfill my thesis requirement, but did that make me a [...]

Food Chain of the Road
I used to think that SUVs were the only bullies of the road. However, after running for hundreds of hours the last two years, and commuting primarily by bike the last few months, I’ve come to the conclusion that there is a food chain of the road. If I had to diagram what it’s like [...]

In a study that followed 500 elderly runners and 400 or so non-runners, Stanford researchers found that those who hit the track regularly led longer, more active lives than those who didn’t. The author of the study said cardiovascular exercise is key. “If you had to pick one thing to make people healthier as they [...]

I recently made a trip to the doctor’s office because of a sinus infection I woke up with one morning. Well, to say it was “one morning” is somewhat disingenuous. It was a sinus infection that had been building since I ran the “Pride of the Valley 5k” in Baldwin Park. (I ran the race [...]

What a Day!
This might have been one of the most active days I’ve had since I was a mere boy. I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and rode the 2 miles to the local 24 Hour Fitness. I lifted weights and then rode home. At 6:10, I took my dog on a light 20-minute, 2.4-mile jog around [...]

I’m a bit harsh
I’m forcing my girlfriend to run the Nike+ Human Race 10k on August 31. She just started training for it and is a bit overwhelmed. I want her to be with me during Kanye West’s performance. Here’s the schedule I have planned for her: Week 1 (July 28-August 3): Monday: 2 miles (easy) Tuesday: 2 [...]

My running partner is sick
Remember my running partner, my dog Isaac? Well, he’s sick. I think he’s been munching on the fertilizer in the backyard. He’s been throwing up white foam and has had major gas. Those signs seem to be symptomatic of fertilizer poisoning. However, Isaac did accompany me on a 3.6-mile, 30-minute run this morning. He was [...]

Two-a-days
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the lagging stamina I have been struggling with. Once I hit three miles, I seem to be hitting the wall. This is disappointing as I had been running 10 miles with ease a few months ago. But I think I’ve found the key to getting over this [...]

Back to action
Over the last few months, I’ve really fallen off of my running pace and mileage. I guess it’s normal, especially after working so hard to accomplish a goal. But now it’s time to get serious. I plan on running the Pasadena Marathon on November 16. That gives me 17 weeks to accomplish the following: 1. [...]
