Binbrook Race Report

On June 18 & 19th I raced two races in two days.
I biked well in both.

You can read my Binbrook Race Report here.

Simon Wheatcroft and his 100 Mile Ultramarathon.
What's so special, if running that crazy distance isn't enough?
He's blind.

K-Swiss Blade Light Review on Running Free

Sorry for the lack of updates and fresh content.

Here is my latest review.

K-Swiss Blade Light.

Everlong

The greatest rock band right now! One of the few gems in the music business in a sea of absolutely horrible stuff that is somehow considered music.

Saw the documentary tonight and the performance of their new album via satellite.

Awesome! The new album "Wasting Light" is out now. Get it!

Here is the full Special Letterman performance.

Long Runs

Stop Running Long on Sunday
http://www.endurancenation.us/blog/2011/03/28/stop-running-long-on-sunday/

An interesting concept for some but I've been doing this for a long time now, especially when it comes to crunch time.

Some of the reasons were stated in the article, but mostly out of mental convenience. For me, I like to get that run over with and banked. If I let it go til the weekend and something comes up, then long run missed. Some thing for long rides. If I can get it done during the week then I will. Especially if there is a shorter race scheduled on the weekend.

Mostly though I think you just have to mix things up all the time to give your body a jolt.

Last year during the winter I ran on Sunday's so I could run with some cool people in a local running group. But once the weather got better I got those runs over with on Wednesday or Thursday. This year, Friday seems to be the magical day, that used to be my day off. But even that may shift in a few months. Work, family, races, etc., have all gotta be taken into account.

Never Give Up!

I always say "Never Give Up" to anyone (those I coach) who wants to listen and here is a perfect example why. Enjoy!
