What is up with your running Dude?
I Dare | July 18th 2008 by Rob
Until the other night I had not run in over a week, a sad but true statement. My personal life has been ... chaotic and traumatic as of late. I did a good job the last couple of days getting out there but I need to build my base back up again. So read more
Another double digit effort
I Dare | July 7th 2008 by Rob
Since running my marathon back in May I have been in a running funk. That said this is the third week of double digit totals, which is a step in the right direction. Actually I think it is great as it has been humid as of late. This weekend I was read more

I Dare | July 2nd 2008 by Rob
Last night I continued on my quest for the holy grail, which is speed. Pardon the Arthurian reference, I am reading Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Chronicles and it has taken hold of me as of late. These are some of the best stories involving King Arth read more
Hill Sprints Suck ... I mean really suck
I Dare | June 30th 2008 by Rob

Marathon You Can Do It | June 23rd 2008 by Constantine
