    2015 Des Plaines River Trail Races 50 Mile (and full and half)

    i am going to make another attempt to crawl across the line before they shut the course down this year. obviously, since it is a "river trail", it is really flat, so no elevation or twisted ankle challenges. the surface is pretty runnable. and the...

    Concurrent Strength & Endurance Training 2019: Cycle II

    well, i am still alive and actually doing pretty well. i started lifting again and was doing it pretty consistently for a month or so. then on a whim decided to try to see what i could do in deadlift. i managed to match my previous personal best from, oh, 4 or 5 years ago. then i haven't really...

    Concurrent Strength & Endurance Training 2018: Cycle V

    i'm just checking in real quick. obviously, i have been running more than lifting. the children have gotten old enough that they go to bed nicely now, but they still like to have someone sit with them. so that process does not involve screaming and running anymore, but still takes an hour and a...

    Concurrent Strength & Endurance Training 2018: Cycle V

    life. it happens. well, genetic testing indicates that i do not have any "known pathogenic mutations" so the activity restrictions have been rescinded. i guess i am kinda disappointed because it leaves me confused as to why i *look* like my aorta is about to let loose at any time, but i have a...

    Concurrent Strength & Endurance Training 2018: Cycle II

    well, the issue isn't so much about tearing up joints as it is blowing out your aorta. which, i am told, can ruin your WHOLE day. for the moment, my aorta appears to be fine (and possibly on the small side of average rather than the expected massively distended side). eventually, i hope to get...

    Concurrent Strength & Endurance Training 2018: Cycle II

    well, the evolution of "concurrent" keeps changing. :) first bare lee has to take care of his knees. now, it turns out that i might have a "genetic connective tissue disorder". so for the moment, i have been strictly forbidden from working out with weights heavier than 5-lb dumbbells. :) i...

    2017 Mileage Club

    life happened last year, so my mileage was WAY down from previous years. about 848mi total. only about 3.5mi of that were in moccasins: i tended to retreat inside when it was cold and run in circles either tiny or small. stopped by the police twice but only handcuffed at gunpoint once.

    Concurrent Strength & Endurance Training 2018: Cycle II

    no problem! that's what i'm here for. or, here every once in a while for. :( thursday, it was like 40F and rainy during gymnastics, so i could only force myself to do about 0.7mi of back-and-forth on the little road before i bailed out. but, then on sunday i convinced my daughter to chase me on...

    Concurrent Strength & Endurance Training 2018: Cycle II

    yeah, somehow i need to start running around a little bit. the weather has (?briefly) moved away from its ridiculous cold followed by super wet phase so maybe i can at least run in circles for 15 minutes while waiting for my proto-gymnasts to do their practice. it will probably help with...

    Concurrent Strength & Endurance Training 2018: Cycle II

    hi guys. long time no type/read/etc. life is crazy up and down. my running and very intermittent weight-based exercise has been way down due to a variety of the usual things (working full time, shuttling kids to school/gym/etc, watching the kid not yet in school, wife health problems, and so...

    Concurrent Strength & Endurance Training 2018: Cycle I

    i have been fooling around for the last few weeks, but it is time to settle down and try to [copy/paste all the usual]... but hey, i managed to start the year off right! --- dec 31-jan 6--- monday: running 2.5mi at 8:53 (-1F), 3.0mi at 15:06 in circles around the house (that would be 189 laps...

    Concurrent Strength & Endurance Training 2017: Cycle VII

    i will throw yet another placeholder in here. the main problem is that i am now the primary caregiver for the youngest while mommy does part-time work and full-time school and i am trying to work full-time as well. that adds up to at least one less hour of sleep and no time to escape to go...

    Concurrent Strength & Endurance Training 2017: Cycle VI

    --- evaluation of previous cycle(s) --- ha! life is busy so there is very little training, concurrent or otherwise. DNF at only 20 miles at my yearly DPRT50 race: undertraining and LIGHTNING! :) in theory, i took up running and gave up cycling because getting run over by a semi-truck is a lot...

    basically, like you guys, i am a parent of now-not-so-young children who is also trying to work full-time and support a wife who is also working part-time and going back to school for her third degree along with the basic existential concerns (doing well for the moment, by the way)..... i have...

    People's reactions when you run

    it's that time again. part 573 of "BroadArrow makes friends with law enforcement: handcuff edition". so, i have given up running on the chip-n-seal in the cornfields because, well, my wife has metastatic breast cancer and thus some unknown but all-too-soon expiration date and i don't want my...
