    Walking the Dog instead of Running

    My left heel is still in pretty bad shape.  So, after hitting the gym for an hour after work I came home and took Gypsy for a walk rather than go for a run.  Actually, I walk Gypsy every day.  I have to.  If I...

    Painful but fun run

    I ran 10.43 miles today at the rails to trails and Ft. Pulaski.  It was an awesome run despite my throbbing right hip.  Some times, I really, really hate my right hip.  Today, was such a day. By the time I reached mile six my...

    Returning to my first love: My Mizunos

    I ran 5.52 miles today with my Mizunos.  It was weird to run in them again after a couple of months of running with VFFs.  It was very weird.  And, the funny thing was that I liked running in a convention running shoe, still.  It...

    Enjoying a beautiful morning at the dairy farm

    I’m at the dairy on a beautiful Sunday morning with Isabella.  My vff’d feet are dangling below me as I sit on a concrete wall that crosses the canal that is adjacent to the bonaventure cemetery.  There seems to be a symphony of birds taking...

    Cleaning my vff’s

    If you wear your vff’s long enough you will soon learn that they will stink up your whole house and possibly even get you evicted out of your neighborhood.  I’ve heard of women leaving their husbands over stinky vff’s.  I’m not lying…really…maybe… Lucky for you...

  • Bonaventure cemetery running

    Bonaventure cemetery running

    I ran 4.49 miles today entirely in Bonaventure cemetery. Today was the closest I’ve been to mapping out the entire cemetery. That is one of my little goals – to run every pathway in Bonaventure cemetery.  I wonder how many miles that will be?  Maybe,...

    A Runner’s Problem – Having to go #2

    Gosh, it seems like forever since I sat down and wrote anything about my running or exercise.  When was the last time I wrote about exercise?  I cannot remember but I’m willing to bet its somewhere along a week or so ago, right?  That was...
