I am back on a structured training program as I prepare for the Superior Trails 50 miler in September. I had just talked to someone related to the event yesterday and she said to train hills and root awareness. Her comments made me a bit anxious but it also is a nice seed to inspire […]

“Oh, this is good!” - The first words that came out of Wendy’s mouth after she took her first bite of our experimental sandwich.
On Tuesday we decided to experiment a bit and make a veggie sandwich that I had seen at my work’s cafeteria. It is basically sauteed vegetables, some mozzarella cheese, basil pesto, and […]

The last couple weekends I wore my new Garmin Forerunner 305 along the same route and wanted to see if it would display consistent distance. The route contained a couple fairly straight roads as well as a 1.25 mile oval loop around a park.
Weekend 1 Garmin reading: 5.50 miles
Weekend 2 Garmin reading: 5.49 miles

Many times we tell ourselves and others that we can’t do this or that. I am going to say 99.9% of the time, that is total garbage.
Check out the video of this 13 year old girl that chose to run a 50 mile trail race with her mother. I wonder how many others said she […]
