Reflections on a renewed running regime

September 6, 2013September 9, 2013 ~ Jason ~ 1 Comment

It has to be kind of obvious by now that the whole “running” thing I was so committed to this time last year has more or less fallen apart.  And by more or less, I mean, it collapsed into a tangled, stinking pile of it’s own filth like a college freshman attempting to endure Rush … Continue reading Reflections on a renewed running regime

The (slacking) Runner’s Confessional

January 22, 2013January 22, 2013 ~ Jason ~ 4 Comments

There are few things more motivational than publicly making a grand, almost ridiculous claim (for instance, "I'm going to run in a half marathon in the next 18 month") and then failing to back-pedal away from said claim with excuses of, you know, the usual stuff: drunkenness, concussion, mind-alter drug ingestion, or temporary possession by … Continue reading The (slacking) Runner’s Confessional

10 Things I Learned from Couch-to-5k

December 10, 2012December 10, 2012 ~ Jason ~ 1 Comment

In case you've been wondering, yes, I more or less dropped the ball.  Remember the way back time, when the planet was still young, dinosaurs roamed the Earth, the calendar page said, "August", and I had yet to begin the November sprint of chaotic word-spewing that was NaNoWriMo 2012?  Back in those sunny, happy, rose-colored … Continue reading 10 Things I Learned from Couch-to-5k

Exhausted with a capital "Tired"

September 10, 2012September 10, 2012 ~ Jason ~ 1 Comment

Friends, let me give you a piece of advice: if you ever participate in a recreational sport with any regularly, DO NOT, under any circumstances, take three months off of said activity, for any reason.  No, I don't even care that you're going to be out of town on a whirlwind tour of Eastern Europe, … Continue reading Exhausted with a capital "Tired"

The top 5 OTHER benefits of working out

September 6, 2012September 6, 2012 ~ Jason

I saw a link this morning to a NY Times Wellness blog post that talks about a study on the long-term benefits on aging of starting the kind of middle-aged running program I've foolishly enthusiastically committed myself to.  Well, I guess it's not specific to running, but rather any kind of aerobic fitness in general … Continue reading The top 5 OTHER benefits of working out

Earning a little misbehavior

August 23, 2012August 23, 2012 ~ Jason ~ 1 Comment

It's Thursday here on Earth, or at least in the American part of it.  I suppose it's probably Friday already is some other places, but we don't like those places with their snooty, Ooooo, I get my Friday's before you attitude, so let's just assume it's Thursday everywhere for now. Being Thursday, I'm conditioned to … Continue reading Earning a little misbehavior

Breaking the rules while NOT talking about running or candy

August 21, 2012August 21, 2012 ~ Jason ~ 1 Comment

It came as something as a hefty surprise when I checked my blog stats today, that I wasn't met with the Great Zero-Visit Flatline of No One's Looking.  I say that not because I truly expected not have any visitors, but in going over the past couple of week's worth of posts, it seems I've … Continue reading Breaking the rules while NOT talking about running or candy

Weekend Debate: Physical Fitness

August 19, 2012August 19, 2012 ~ Jason ~ 1 Comment

For this weekend's debate, I figured I might as well continue the "running" theme that's been so prevalent around here since Friday. After all, I've never been known to stop beating a horse until it's stiff as Jacob Marley*. I went out for my first workout tonight, which I would call a run, but that … Continue reading Weekend Debate: Physical Fitness

Running on Empty

August 17, 2012August 17, 2012 ~ Jason ~ 6 Comments

Let me be absolutely, positively, crystal clear before I go any further: I loathe running.  I hate it with a fiery revulsion typically witnessed only by four year-olds staring down a bowl full of peas, or Republicans confronted with a full case of "Yes We Can" bumper stickers. To be fair, running doesn't much like … Continue reading Running on Empty
