Running Hurts

I’ve got it in my head that I want to be a runner. I’ve tried this experiment a couple of times and at one point long ago ran a 5k in just under 25 minutes.

I bought some new shoes because the padding in my 993′s was shot and hit the proverbial bricks. Ouch…running hurts. I was pretty disappointed after these results: Read the full article →

GOTR 5K

November 11, 2008

Laura and I arrived at Forest Park early Saturday morning, layered up and ready to run.  I was a little nervous to take part in my first organized run but figured that if a fifth grader could do it so could I.  We met Cathi and James and set out through a sea of girls to [...]

Fall in love again

October 10, 2008

I just fell in love again… with my treadmill. I know you’re thinking… “She owns a treadmill?…  And shes chubby?” Nonesense, right?  One would think these things are mutually exclusive by they are not my friends.   Happily, I got back on the treadmill.  I believe this is due to my extreme laziness that has [...]

September 23, 2008

My wife used to run cross country so I thought to myself she’ll make the perfect running partner/coach.

Tonight was different. [...]

Is Your Mascara Running?

September 1, 2008

For the sake of Paunchiness research, I did something ridiculous.  I physically exerted myself on the first date.  Heathen!  Two reasons why this is a bad idea.  One: I do not look normal when I exercise.  I look like a lobster upon entry to boiling water.  Two: It worries me because all I can think [...]
