I’m rounding the corner and I can see it. It’s the two mile marker up ahead. It’s also the point at which I start the second lap in my run. Everything about today, however does not feel good. I do NOT want to keep running. Every fiber in my being wants to give up. I [...]

In my last product review I talked about my latest running accessory, the iPod nano. I have to tell you it has been an absolute pleasure and motivator. “But Jonathan,” you ask, “don’t you look silly carrying an iPod nano in your hand running down the road?” Of course not! That’s because my iPod nano [...]

Sorry there has been a lag in my post frequency guys. Work has kind of gotten in the way this week and well… the lights don’t keep themselves on. I only ran three times this week, but I bumped my distance up to four miles per run! So my overall distance is about the same.
Anyway, [...]

So, what did you do for Easter? My ten month old daughter and I eased on back on my mother’s sofa for a nice afternoon nap. Of course my wife could not pass up the opportunity to capture the moment, which also coincidentally provides proof of my snoring, on video. Here for your viewing pleasure [...]

Oh yeah! It’s sleek. It’s svelte. It’s oh so cool. But I’m jumping the gun aren’t I? I’m giving you the conclusion at the beginning of the review (he said wiping the drool from the side of his mouth).
Now in the past I haven’t been the type to listen to music while running. In the [...]

I had a good run today. The pace was nice and slow, but not a snail’s pace. I was so busy thinking about my blog and what features I was going to add next that I really wasn’t thinking about the run all that much. That tends to make the run seem a lot shorter. [...]

I love the products sold by Dispair, Inc. They basically parody the motivational posters that became so popular in work places in the late 80s and 90s. They are called demotivators. Not only are they funny because they poke fun at a cheap attempt (cost of a poster) to motivate employees, but they are funny [...]

Monday night my oldest daughter, Ragan had a soccer game. Now usually this would be a family affair, unless of course I was at home in bed with a migraine. Then my wife would faithfully haul all three kids out to the park for the event herself. Well she had some prior engagements so the [...]

So I start running today (Tuesday, April 03) and I’m trying to come up with my blog topic. Right off the bat I realize what the problem is. I’m starting off the run. I’m not yet in the lounge chair portion of my run yet. If you have no clue as to what I am [...]

I’ve finally made it… to the point where I’m starting to get back to some semblance of consistency. That is with regard to the frequency of my running. I ran five days last week and my running route is 2.5 miles long (that’s about 4 kilometers for you metric folks. Yeah, I know American’s are [...]
