Don’t pencil it in, set in stone.

September 17, 2010

It doesn’t matter if you can run 200 yards or 20 miles. You need to establish a good routine. Chances are, if you’re running 20 miles you’ve probably got that part figured out. The rest of us, on the other hand (myself included), can be a bit lacking. Set a Schedule. First, you need to [...]

I’ve got that runnin’ feelin’

August 27, 2010

Oh how I wish it wasn’t true. Wish I could tell you that my few days off from running last week after a bout with candida allowed me time to rest and recover. Wish I could regale you with stories on the relaxing afternoons, long baths and overall peace of mind and body most people [...]

Everybody cut footloose

June 29, 2010

2:16. That’s two hours and 16 minutes to run a total of 13.1 miles. Not the fastest I’ve run, not the slowest either. But it’s the farthest I’ve ever run in Vibrams. Yes, they look like ape feet and yes, they could also pass for ninja shoes, but these fusions or neoprene and rubber are [...]

Running for my life

June 26, 2010

I’m not at my computer right now. If you’re reading this within two hours of me publishing it, I’m participating in the toughest mental and physical act I’ve ever committed to. It’s something no one I personally know has ever done. I’m running a half marathon in Vibram shoes. Some of you may scoff, thinking [...]

Light Rail runnin’

May 31, 2010

(Thank you to all that serve our country.) The Metro Light Rail is one of the most expensive, most controversial and most useful public projects Arizona has undertaken. Sure, in its infancy the light rail hasn’t lessened traffic all that much, but it’s going to take more than 18 months to convince Arizonans to give [...]

Honesty, like good shoes, will get you far

April 27, 2010

As a proud Vibram shoes owner, I’m constantly asked about my shoes. Questions like: Are they comfy – yes, but you have to break in your feet Do you actually run in them – yes, ran four miles today and a half-marathon in June Where can I get them – three shops in the Phoenix [...]

Day Without Shoes

April 8, 2010

Get your barefoot on. I’m a barefooter. Okay, not a REAL barefooter, as I often wear Vibrams because, well, it hurts less. But I’m glad to have the choice to wear minimalist footwear. But a lot of people don’t. Far too many developing countries have children running around without the option of something covering their [...]

How business is like running a half marathon

January 18, 2010

In business, we run races every week. Every deadline, every project and every lead are opportunities to measure ourselves against our competition and get the job done. In a business setting, you must win. Second place, while not a bad thing in most foot races, doesn’t get you a whole bunch. Here are some similarities [...]

100 Things Before I Die

January 5, 2010

Goals are fun. They give us something to shoot for. They allow us to feel accomplished. Here are 100 ((It will eventually get to 100)) things I want to do before I die. Nay, 100 things I WILL do before I’m dead. What are yours? 1. Go skydiving. 2. Cliff jumping. 3. Bridge jumping. 4. [...]
