My Response

The plan was to stop spending so much time out here in blogland and to be more productive. Things haven’t really gone to plan… A lively discussion unfurled itself on the blogs of The Laminator and Joe Garland about how much mileage should go into a proper marathon training regimen. I have [...]

Running with Guadalupe

Okay, so I have to admit that I’m feeling a little ridiculous right now. How is it that I didn’t go out and buy a Garmin like a year ago? I have so much more information about my run today than I’ve ever had before about a run. And not just any information, [...]
