1. My 5km Run, “The Moose Trot” posted November 8, 2011
   

   After getting spanked in a 5km run this past weekend at the CrossFit Taranis Winter Challenge, I’ve decided to commit to running 5km, 3 times per week.  [...]

2. So, how long IS 393,700 inches any way? posted June 27, 2010
   

   10 km is the equivalent of 6.21 miles; 10,000 meters; 32,808 feet or 393,700 inches… but no matter how you look at it, it feels like a long, LONG, way for me. Running and me are like oil and water – you shake it enough it may look like it mixes, but as soon as you stop shaking you realize that its still just water with oil on it.

   Fred Lebow, the New York City Marathon co-founder, was absolutely right when he said: “In running, it doesn’t matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last.

   Got a quick run in on Sunday night… did a repeat of the Running Room clinic run done on Friday. I mapped it on MapMyRun.com – its 2.0 miles exactly!

6. A do run, run, run, a do run, run… posted June 12, 2010
   

   Last night I ran. Well, maybe not to the same standard laid out by the definition of “running” on Wikipedia.org – but I was definitely not plodding. LOL! For those of you who know me, I’ve never been a runner.
