   Episode 14 - I'm back on my feet again, sort of

   after a break, I am back on my feet. Not to the extent that I would like, and the break was not needed or really wanted...it just sort of happened. I lost my motivation and got lazy. Now I get to pay the price with more weight and less energy. I managed to put on about 15 pounds in 2 months. I…

   Episode 13 - Heart Rate Zone Calculations

   The most effective method I have found is the Karvonen Formula. Before you can begin to calculate your zones you need 2 other basic pieces of information, your Resting Heart Rate (RHR) and your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR). All zone calculations use these as a baseline. To calculate your RHR, use…

   Episode 12 - The Marine Corps Marathon...Sort of.

   I ran the last 4.5 miles of the MCM with 2 of my sisters and had an absolute blast. I had to wait at the bridge crossing just prior to the mile 22 water stop. One thing I couldn't bring myself to do was cross the finish line. It just didn't seem right after not actually running the whole thing....

   Episode 11 - It's been a long time!

   Well, after nearly a month of nothing, I finally put together all of the snippits that I thought had some value into a hodgepodge episode. It is less than a week from the Marine Corps Marathon and my plan is to run the last 3-6 miles with 2 of my sisters. Given the race course and where I am...

   Episode 10 - Goodbye MCM

   It looks like the ITBS has won this round. My plan (even though I am still not running) is to do the stretches and back off my miles until I can run for a month or two without pain. Once I can do that I am going to increase by about 5% per week and hopefully build to long runs in excess of 20...

   Episode 9 - Running, running, running

   Two runs where I had some pain and the frustration. A big thanks to JKehl and roadrunn3r for very nice reviews on iTunes. Great news on my Newtons and a big thanks to Tory from Newton Running who has been in contact with me and made it possible for me to get my shoes replaced. The store where I...

   Episode 8 - A Short Lived Recovery

   Well, again I pushed the envelope and have re-irritated my ITB. I ran 10 miles this week and it was too much for my knee. I don't dwell on it in the episode, but near the end of the run cast you do hear me a complain a little about it. It wasn't until after I got home for what I thought was going...

   Episode 7 - Finally a run!

   Went out for my first run to test out the IT Band. A little more detail on what the actual case of my pain and discomfort is. I also got a real email! My ITBS is also upsetting the Plica in my knee. Not fun at all. I was wondering why all the symptoms were the same for my pain and the ITBS that...

   Episode 6 - ITBS, Oh no!

   Had an awesome time down in Florida staying at Give Kids the World (www.gktw.org). They went to great lengths to make sure we had anything we could need or want. I can honestly say that we were treated like royalty. I think the kids favorite part was the ice cream shop. It was open from 7:30am to...

    Episode 5 - Working on Quality

    First off let me say thanks to Ted from the "You don't have to run alone" podcast for going that extra mile (boo, cheap pun use there) to help me out with the recording quality. Being a rookie runner as well as podcaster, I am realizing more and more how little I know about both. I am going to be...

    Episode 4 - Running around the 'hood

    I went for a midweek run around where I live and took along the recording equipment mostly to compare the noise levels with how loud it was along the highway. Enjoy! chuckEpisode 4

    Episode 3 - My how the mind wanders on the road

    Isn't it amazing how your mind wanders when you are out on the road? I think I have found what I want to be a halmark of my show. Each episode I am going to pick a person for whom I have much respect. Some will be people I know, others may be historical. I discussed my nephew this week, Stuart…

    Episode 1 - Just starting out.

    Ok Ted, JayDub, Gordon and everyone else who encouraged me to start out, here I am. I started a podcast today to chronicle my training for the Marine Corps Marathon on October 31st. I have a strong desire to give back in some small way to the running community that has done so much for me....
