Running and Chickens in Daffin Park

Yesterday after work I drove straight to Daffin Park and ran 3.76 miles.  I still haven’t been able to break 4 miles on my new grey bikilas.  I don’t know what’s going on.  It’s as if a force field suddenly develops and keeps me from running over four miles on my newest bikilas.  Today,...

A night run in my grey bikilas in Whitemarsh Island

My second run in my new grey bikilas ls was a little longer than the first one but not by much.  I ran this evening 3.7 miles in Whitemarsh Island after lifting weights at the Island’s Y.  The run tonight was kind of fun because it was in the dark, with my headlamp lighting...

A Run in my new Grey Bikilas

Yesterday was my inaugural run in my new grey bikilas ls.  Yep, I upgraded my vff’s.  I went from regular bikilas to the ls model.  What’s the difference, you ask?  From all I can tell is that the ls has laces and the regular bikilas do not.  There may be some hidden magical power...

Retiring my Beloved VFF Red Bikilas

Last Saturday I retired my red bikilas after having logged 705 miles on them.  Those were my first bikilas and they have been with me approximately one year one month. Those red bikilas went with me to the very top of Kilimanjaro, the roof of Africa last year.  I ran my fastest ever half...

Running and thinking about a Runner’s Etiquette

As I was doing my run yesterday I started to think about a runner’s etiquette.  Is there such a thing?  There must be and I’m willing to bet that most of us runners follow some kind of a runner’s etiquette or code of conduct even if we do not give it an actual name....

A Good Treadmill Run

Well, tonight I added a little more mileage to my 2012 treadmill total.  I ran 3.11 miles on a startrac treadmill at the Island’s Ymca.  I really like those treadmills.  They are super nice.  The run tonight was tough.  I started off slow but after a few minutes I began to crank the speed...

A Thunderbolt Run

I’m still not feeling 100% but tonight’s 4.8 mile run did me a lot of good.  One nice thing, my left calf only bothered me for about a mile.  My right hip did not bother me at all and neither did my left ankle!  Woo hoo!  Another good thing, it was a beautiful evening...

A Short Run in the neighborhood and Gear Review: Nathan Yellow Reflective Vest

Once again I’m nursing an injury…I mean two injuries.  My left calf is very tender and tight.  My right hip at the joint has been hurting for the past week.  Whenever my right leg rises up and my left foot is pushing off the ground the front of my right hip aches deeply.  It’s...

Running with Music

Tonight’s run was a light-paced 4.22 miles in Whitemarsh Island.  I ran with my trusty yellow reflective Nathan vest and red bikilas.  I started the run with my running buddy, Nelson, but soon I pulled ahead and the rest of the run felt like I was running by myself.  Nelson and I did talk...
