As the temperatures rise during the summer months, I was reminded of the need to manage fluid consumption. The short of it, I lost 4% of my pre-run weight after a 2 hour long run that included 21 oz of water mixed with HEED and Endurolytes. A 4% loss is not good!
From what I [...]

On Saturday I took on a local 4 mile road race called the DRC Bloomin 4 Mile. This is another one of the events put on by the Dallas Running Club. There were nearly 400 excited runners ready to take on the hot, humid, and windy conditions along the mostly flat shores of White [...]

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
A cross [...]

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 [...]

A few lessons hopefully learned from my Boston build-up and race:
3 high intensity sessions in one week (4 weeks from race) was not a wise idea. The full impact of that week didn’t fully manifest until two weeks later and then I was cooked with two weeks from race day. Not where you really want [...]

After completing a couple test drives with my new Garmin Forerunner 305, I wanted to customize it a bit. Instead of winging it, I actually opened up the manual and followed along. Fortunately (which is not always the case), the manual was very easy to read and implement.
This unit has so many features that [...]

Do you have running shoes that you don’t use anymore? Would you like to help people of all ages around the world?
I found this neat organization a couple days ago.
Soles4Souls is a charitable organization delivering new and gently used shoes of all types to those in need around the world. Their slogan is “Changing the [...]
