What Injured Runners Do When They Can’t Run
Our Tuesdays on the Run topic this week is Favorite Spring Running Stuff. Because I spent most of March on the Injured DL, and because it feels nothing like spring here in Chiberia, I don’t have too many favorite spring running things right now, unless you count this BIG ONE: I just completed my first [Read More]
March by Number
Happy Easter/Passover! I am just back home from our spring break vacay in sunny California. Although we’ve been to California many times before, I think this was one of our best visits. You may recall our trip there 2 years ago was kind of a mess. That said, March is finally a wrap! While I [Read More]

There’s Life After DNF/DNS

Injured Reserve and My Running World Stands Still
I kind of wish it was Runfession Friday because I’ve got a doozy. I’ll cut to the chase. I went out for a quick run last week that put me on the injured reserve list. Behind my right knee/high calf, deep inside, was a little tight, as it sometimes is. I tell myself it’s a [Read More]
