I really want to do another Half Marathon and eventually a Full Marathon. I’m a bit behind in my training, but I think I have plenty of time to get ready for this one in October. The Runners World Half in Bethlehem, PA is less than 2 hours away from me, and looks like it will be fun race to do… Time to double check the calendar and see if this works!!
I recently started using KT Tape for my sore ankle. I’m loving this stuff!! Anyone used it before? http://www.kttape.com/
I’m starting this year off on the right foot. I wrapped up this weeks running with almost 20 miles, and I was able to get in a 5K this afternoon. Of course the rain started immediately when I opened the door to go outside to start, but I was not going to let that stop me today. I have a goal this year to really increase my milage. I’m not sure what that means for numbers and distance, but I want to run a minium of 2-3 times a week.
I’m going to put a couple of 5Ks, 10Ks, and even another Half-Marathon on the Calendar for 2012. Here’s to a great running year in 2012 Cheers!!
My last post, almost a year ago now, was about this GPS watch. I just picked one up today with some Christmas cash. I got a killer deal from one of my local running stores. I can’t wait to start logging some miles with this guy!
Can’t wait for this to be released! I will definitely be considering this …

I was out on my run today and I was not planning on heading to downtown Phoenixville. Then at the last minute I changed my mind and headed down the big bridge into town. I rounded the corner and headed toward the Historic Colonial Theater. As I approached the theater I saw a couple of guys talking with each other and as I got closer realized they were both barefoot. The one was showing the other the proper way to run barefoot.)
I stopped when I got next to them to chat with them, and realized that I recognized one of them … It was this guy!!
Christopher McDougall - Author of “Born to Run“
What a great guy! He was really down to earth. We talked for about 10 minutes before he had to head back inside the Colonial Theater, but what an awesome surprise!
For those of you that don’t know it was his book that got me excited about the idea of barefoot/minimalist running. Before I read this book I had to give up my running shoes and I didn’t think I would ever run again.
What a great feeling … to be able to meet one of the people that pushed you to do what you didn’t think was possible.
