10 miler

I put in 10 miles at Town Lake today. I wasn’t in shape to run my normal 10/1 or 5/1 splits, I wound up doing 5/3 or so. I did this in 2:14, compared to 2:10 during a training run on 11/25 last year. Today was also after only eating a bagel for lunch, no […]

Getting to Kathmandu

This weekend I read iWoz by Steve Wozniak and Ed Viesturs’ No Shortcuts to the Top. I was disappointed by iWoz. It felt like it was written for a very low reading level, like it was targeted to middle-school kids. While I have to give Woz credit for all the work he did, the book […]

Dean Kanazes is tough

I don’t know what to think about Dean Karnazes latest thing, Endurance 50 — 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days. I know he’s ran 350 miles straight, but wow, he’s getting a bit more intense here. The man positively eats and shits nails.

Freescale Half-marathon

Sweat would seep through peoples’ fleece and then freeze, leaving them a crunchy frosty coating. I can not believe I spent […]

Fearing the cold

8 hours, 32 minutes until race start! Weather forecast for tomorrow still holding at 6 AM, 31 degrees with 20% chance of ice pellets; at 8 AM, 34 degrees with 20% change of rain. I hope I don’t get hypothermia and die, that’d really suck. Austin Fit magazine is a horrible publication. The first twelve […]

40 what?

The weather forecast shows a high of 40 on Sunday, with a chance of ice pellets and rain at 6 AM. That’s going to create some freezing ass conditions for the race. If it doesn’t get called off for weather, it’s going to take a lot of discipline to get out there and do it. […]
