After finally getting an Amazon.com gift certificate that I “bought” with credit card reward points a short while ago, I had my excuse to buy the Garmin Forerunner 205 GPS watch that I’ve been eyeing for some time now. Right now I’m using my iPhone with the RunKeeper application to track my runs and it [...]

Is marathon training actually BAD for your heart?
Now that my PT tendon seems to have healed itself (for now at least!) and the first race of the season is in the books, it’s time to get back to my regular routine. In terms of bloggin, this means listing the interesting websites I’ve found over the past week or so, starting with a [...]

How do you track your runs?
While my foot injury is healing, I’ve been doing some reading/thinking and have realized that I need to come up with a better system for tracking the frequency and distance of my runs. I’ve come to the conclusion that the reason for my injury in the first (and second) place was due to putting in [...]

Stretching before a run could make you less efficient
While sitting around, nursing my PT tendon injury, I wanted to share some links I’ve come across this week that piqued my interest. The first is an article from Runner’s World, which tries to make the case that static-stretching before running could actually make you less efficient than if you simply sat and relaxed for [...]

Running Streak out, Best Week in
On the sidebar of the site I used to list my best running streak, keeping track of the number of consecutive days run, along with the accumulated mileage during that span. After a few good runs the past two days though, I realized that maybe this isn’t the best way to go about it. I [...]

Longest running streak
Hopefully by now you’ve seen my Longest Runs graph on the sidebar, tracking the longest runs to date in shoes, Vibram Five Fingers and barefoot. Today I also added a Longest Streak graph to track the most consecutive days having gone for a run. I’m using the day I started using RunKeeper on my iPhone [...]

DailyMile race countdown widget
Before I got the RunKeeper app for my iPhone, I previously used the DailyMile website, which was pretty cool because you could get a few different widgets to share on your site. However, it doesn’t have an iPhone app to track your run via GPS, amongst other shortcomings. Anyways, I logged back in and signed up [...]

Today’s run
With the rain scheduled for the afternoon, I was able to get in a decent run this morning in the Vibram Five Fingers. You can see the run on RunKeeper, which ended up being 2.6 miles. The temperature was above freezing these past couple days, so all of the melting snow created some pretty wet [...]

Getting back in the running groove
With the new website layout finally starting to come together a bit, I wanted to write about my past few days. This is the first week in a while that I can honestly say that I’m getting back in my workout/running routine, after taking a couple months off due to snow, holidays and travel. I [...]

Getting back into running mode
Over the Christmas and New Years break, I took a break from doing much physical activity and after sneaking in one run the day after the new year (about 2 miles in the cold/wind,) I came down with the flu! Yesterday I finally felt healthy enough to venture to the gym and see how strong/weak [...]
