Rainy days and Sunday

It’s been raining all weekend, Kim and I talked last night and the forecast looked promising around 7:30 this morning so we set a date to meet at Academy Sports and then head to the River Market where we would head over to North Little Rock to run 10 miles on the River Trail. [...]

I need a vacation from life

Do you ever feel like that?  I just almost can’t stand anything anymore.  My job, my home life, myself.  I’m teary eyed constantly, I need some sort of outlet, a break, a vacation from everything.  Seems everyday brings some new piece of crap I don’t want to deal with.  I know people have it worse [...]

Another night of speed work

Well, not really. I didn’t do the speed work, my leg was freaking killing me, I was almost in tears at times. I did time Annette and Kelly number 2 for a couple of their 200s and 400s, that was fun. I got in a few miles despite my pain, woohoo. [...]

Does Chocolate make you run faster?

The answer is no, it makes you poop. I was in need of a chocolate fix yesterday afternoon, a mix of down in the dumps and just that sweet tooth craving. I found a bag of dark chocolate M&Ms I had bought for Chipper Nettie, aka Annette, to take to Nashville when she [...]

Roller Coaster Run

Saturday Kim and I met with the Little Rock Marathon Training Group for their Spring maintenance run. This week it was the torturous Rahling Road route. We were doing 10 miles, but ended up with 11 because of an errant runner.
They always start their runs at 6am, early I know, but you get [...]

Shopping and Running

First day of Spring was a great day. I met Kim at Lakewood Lake #3 at 12:30 and we headed to Little Rock to The Container Store, we were impressed. Remember, we live in Little Rock, we get excited easily. We bought a couple of things then headed across the street to [...]

Scaredy Cat

I admit it, I’m scared to drive in Thunderstorms. Big Chicken. Scaredy Cat. Call it what you will, but yesterday there was a huge front coming through the state, bringing thunderstorms, tornadoes and flash floods. Our Tuesday Night Flyer’s Running Clinic is about a 30 minute drive at least, and the [...]

Can I have a Run please?

Well, I haven’t run in a couple of days, trying to rest this stupid leg/hip/groin thing. Hoping it will get better/go away. Not. It’s really pissing me off, getting me down in the dumps, I don’t know what to do or where to go. At this point I’m just dealing with the [...]

Inspiration Run

I talk about Annette all the time, she is a member of the Cabot Cruisers. a running club, and one of their members, Jackie, had a inspiration run yesterday, it’s actually a marathon. She runs to every school in the Cabot School District to inspire the kids to start a healthy lifestyle. Here [...]

Speedy Thursday

Where to start, first let me back up to the Little Rock Marathon Expo, during my second trip to the Expo I visited Blackmon Chiropractic, they were doing some sort of back scan which gave immediate results, of course I jumped right in. Dr. Blackmon asked a few questions after my scan and told [...]
