  • Finished Reading: What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami

    08 Jul 2021 » 4 min read

    In the long list of things that I would like to be able to do well, running–in particular, long-distance running–is high among them. I’m envious of friends and family who managed to cultivate this particular exercise throughout their life, and for whom it is a pleasure that they look forward to each day. When I…

  • Running update

    I just completed my 4th run in seven days and my 6th in 2 weeks. It was probably the easiest run to-date. A few more of these and I will definitely be ready to begin extending it a bit. Still not timing myself but I am definitely under 10 minutes for a mile, and likely…

  • Going running

    …And I might attempt to run more than a mile. It would be great if I could double it but I don’t think I can do that. I’ll be happy just going as far as I can and walking the rest of the way. I’m still not trying for any particular times, just working on…

    I got my brand new New Balance Cross Trainers in the mail today and they fit perfectly. These are the first sneakers I’ve had since I ruined my old ones on an awesome hike in Hawaii back in November. I’m going to test them out later this evening when I go for a run.

  • Second cardio workout

    I was supposed to run yesterday, as I’m trying to do this cardio thing three times a week for starters, on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, but as circumstances would have it, I didn’t get home until late yesterday and was too tired. So I am back from my second run this week and this one felt…

  • One mile run

    04 Apr 2006 » 1 min read

    I beta tested my cardio play list a little while ago when I went for a one mile walk, followed by a one mile run. It was the first cardio exercise I’ve done since last summer. I managed the entire mile without having to stop, although I jogged at a very slow pace. The music…
