Quick update, gang! A few weeks ago, the most amazing and inspirational fitness innovator extraordinaire Fitz Koehler asked me if I were interested in sharing my fitness/weight-loss story for her blog Fitzness. After taking all of roughly 0.179 milliseconds to think it over, I readily agreed to do it. You all know me well enough…
Yes! More self-absorbed runner talk! Who’da thunkit coming from this blog? How excited are you to read all about my summer training pro– Well anyway… I get that this isn’t the most exciting and entertaining of subjects to my non-running audience… if I even have one. I’m not quite sure that it’s even of interest…
Well I’ve been talking about it for a few months, so enough yakkin’ already. Here’s where I start my attempt at doing a tangible bit of good. I’ve started a fundraising page; you can find it at http://www.stayclassy.org/fundraise?fcid=281162. My goal is to raise $5,000 to benefit the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America by February…
Hi gang. Sorry to be the one to do this, but I’m about to bring down the make-out room with some Serious Health Information Talk of a most personal level. I’ve actually wanted to do this for nearly a month now, but I could never find the time, motivation, or desire. It threw me into…
Hi gang. Tomorrow Boots and I are off to beautiful New England, and I for one can’t wait. We’re flying into Boston, renting a car, and hitting the road. We’re heading up to Vermont for my cousin’s birthday bash, and it’ll be great to hang with family: besides my cousins, I’ll be meeting up with…
A quick weekend recap of what was a pretty goshdarn swell time! 1. FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE (with not having to wake up early on Saturday) I decided to do my “Long Run” on Friday night — June 21, 2013. Summer solstice. Longest day of the year. I must have been out of my mind.…
Hi gang. Normally I would be regaling the four or five you haven’t haven’t stumbled upon my blog looking for suggestive Top Gun pictures with whatever Kinks album or pedantic running tale has tickled my fancy for the day. Well, right now we’re having none of that. OK I’ve been kvelling over the brand-new Wings Over America remaster, but that’s…
Let’s just keep this one simple. I have bronchitis 🙁 I’ve had it for a week now it doesn’t seem to want to go away. Because of massive chest congestion, I had to miss out on the ALS Recovery Fund 10K on Saturday, which was a massive bummer because it’s co-sponsored by dear friends of…
Hello again! Good to see ya! OK so when we last met, I detailed the issues I was having with my Illiotibial Band. Specifically how this dreaded affliction of inflamed tissue running down my left side was causing enough knee pain to sideline me from running for the short-term, possibly longer. How Dr. Dad gave…
Welcome to the latest episode of “What’s Ailing Hokeyboy Lately?”, where we discover the *second* IBS I’ve come across in this lifetime, although this one involves a lot less technicolor yawning… So just when I got over the shin splints from last month, I noticed a new particularity that came about a week-and-a-half ago. After…
