so it’s been a good long while and a lot has gone on since then…sort of. well, not necessarily “things,” but more of a general shift in the direction and goals of my life. first and foremost, i haven’t given up on running. i have, however, changed directions in terms of how i’m taking care… [Read more…]

i’d apologize for my extended absence from updating, but i feel as though my reader(s) fall into one of three categories: 1. you don’t care 2. you don’t exist 3. you don’t warrant an apology all of this, of course, is based on a major assumption involving the number of readers. but on to the… [Read more…]

so it’s been a while since my last update, which i would apologize for, but i’m honestly not sorry. and do the three people (myself included) who follow this blog really need an apology? if you feel slighted, maybe it’s time to put on your big boy pants, rub some dirt on it, walk it… [Read more…]

first: the run. last wednesday was 2.33 miles, tonight a difficult 2.2809 miles. much like governor sanford, my running took the week off and was nowhere to be found. at first it said it was trying to avoid the triple digit heat, then a staff member reported that my running was spending some time on… [Read more…]

as always, tonight’s run: 2.3219 miles. mixed reviews, to say the least. i went up to the new timing interval in my training program, which, of course, wasn’t as easy as the first. no big deal. i started off well and actually managed to get into a groove by the third interval and was cruising… [Read more…]

my wife just pointed out that, while i’ll declared leroy the official unofficial winner of my “suggest a song” post, there was only one comment responding to that post on my blog. as an attorney, i can assure you that the non-contest contest was conducted with the utmost integrity. callers were allowed to text their… [Read more…]

first things first: 2.133 miles. it turned out to be quite a good day for running: my knee was actually feeling really well, to the point that i could straighten it out and not feel as much pain as normal, in spite of the humidity; a mid-afternoon thunderstorm rolled through town, dropping the temperature from… [Read more…]

anyone have any recommendations for good music to run to? something with a good bpm and catchy, but not so much that i do more singing along than running. also, thanks to swoop, i’ll start posting my distances/times to allow both of my readers to help keep me in check and motivate me. a brief… [Read more…]

so, for the past, oh, i don’t know, forever, i’ve been big on bitching about the mass hysteria of “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.” each time i hear this verbal diarrhea spewed from someone’s mouth, two things happen. first, a little piece of me dies inside. secondly, and probably more importantly, i know… [Read more…]

did you just throw up a little? yeah? me too. in my first post, i talked about having screws in my knee and how i tended to rely on that as an excuse for my ability to use my stomach as a beer tray when relaxing on the couch. well, along with the ethereal desire… [Read more…]
