Fall / Winter 2012 Preview
It’s here. Race week. My first race longer than a 10K since April. I should be uber prepared from months of summer training, svelte and fit with many miles under my belt (that now buckles two notches further in around a trimmer waistline), and confident that I’ll obtain new PRs with each finish line I [...]
Slow And Steady
Thanks to Hurricane Isaac, I’m in the middle of a mid-week weekend. That means I have two days off in the middle of the week, and am enjoying some down time in spite of the impending doom of the Crescent City (overreaction compliments of Meteorologist Bob Breck). This morning, during a lull in the slight [...]
#RunLA Chat: Runner’s Etiquette
Tonight, we’re going to talk about a very important topic… Runner’s Etiquette. We all have pet peeves that bother us in running groups, during races, on the run, and etc. According to RRCA, there is an actual set of laws and information that all runners need to become familiar with…

Have you ever met someone, and through regular conversation, they ask questions that you’ve never pondered? Questions that spurn deeper self-reflection, requiring more than some run-of-the-mill answer? This recently happened to me.

Louisiana Marathon: Week 1
It’s been a rainy week here in Shreveport. I spent the early half of the week planning my runs around the storms and the latter part of the week catching up on the miles I missed. I finished the week and hit my projected total of 38 miles without too much trouble. At this early [...]

Superfecta and Spectacular
Music+Food+Art+Exercise. Four simple words offered by 2dumbrunners, a/k/a Scott Higgins and Michael Lang of the Happy’s Running Club. Yet, their Nightlife Series races are anything but simple. Rather, the series is a melting pot of runners, artists, foodies, families and social aficionados. This weekend, the series returns to its roots with their annual spring race: [...]
