  • RunFor Is Keeping A Resolution.

    I would like to say that I'm keeping all my New Years Running Resolutions with the intense dedication of a focused athlete but to be honest, my diet could still use some improvement. Last weekend was my own personal tribute to Buffalo Bleu Kettle...

  • RunFor Might Not Be Up For This Challenge...

    There are some running events that might be TOO much for me to handle. I don't see myself ever qualifying for Boston (a fact I've grown comfortable with); I don't know if an ultramarathon would do me in; and I'm certain that the Krispy...

  • RunFor Is Reading!

    There’s nothing like cold and wet weather to make you want to curl up with a good read! Thankfully, I’ve managed to combine the love of running and reading by focusing on books about running. Right now, I’m reading Born to Run which...

  • RunFor Heads To The Hills!

    As part of our training for our 5ks and the Derbyfest Half Marathon in April, Walt and I are putting in our time on the hills. I’m an odd sort who actually likes running hills (I’ve spent too many years backpacking) while Walt prefers the...

  • RunFor wants to speed it up!

    A big congrats to Walt for hitting PR of 27:31 this past Saturday! Thanks to a big fat cramp on the last mile, I did not cross the finish line with her but did pull in a sub-30 minutes run. Pushing myself too hard on the uphill starts left me with a rush...

  • RunFor wants a PR!

    This weekend is the Cupids Cup 5K here in Charlotte (postponed from Valentines Day due to weather) and Walt it determined to make it her PR. PR is a runner’s personal record, the fastest they have run a certain event ranging from 5ks to marathons...

  • RunFor Rubs the Wrong Way

    So I'm back to the delicate subjects that runners face during training (I thought I would take a break to honor Valentines Day). Another unpleasant side effect of running is chafing. Contrary to what you might think, chafing while running has little...

  • RunFor wishes everyone a Happy Valentines Day!

    Happy Valentines Day (a little early)! There are so many ways to connect love and running that I've been overwhelmed with topic ideas for today. There are the reasons that we love to run! It keeps us fit; it keeps us social; it's a form of meditation;...

  • RunFor takes on a delicate subject.

    Perhaps it is the anonymity of a blog that makes this an easy topic to broach but today I wanted to talk about a delicate subject, the runner’s trots. It’s a problem that Walt sheepishly asked me about when we started our training together...

  • RunFor wants to hear from you!

    That's right - we want to know what you want to hear about! I just spent five days in the hospital hanging out with a friend of mine who was having a very difficult pregnancy (and now she just has a beautiful baby boy!). Of course, I went in well...

  • RunFor Barefoot!

    For someone who now spends a great deal of time reading shoe reviews and thinking about the right fit for my running shoes, it's funny to note what simple shoes I wore as a child when I was decidedly more active. In a house of 5 kids, shoes were a...

  • RunFor needs a laugh!

    Well the weather continues to be gloomy and cold in my part of the world which is just annoying because I live in the South. One living in the South for long periods of time is just not mentally prepared for such weather and for any of our readers in...

    “All that I am, I am because of my mind.” -Paavo Nurmi, 9-time Olympic gold medalist in track & field Now we aren’t all going to be Olympic gold medalists but there are benefits to increasing our mind-body awareness when running...

  • Running Buddies

    With a sinus infection raging right now, I was out for the entire weekend of running, leaving Walt to do 9 miles by herself. She went for it with gusto but ran out of steam at mile 5 and ended up doing 8. Her watch even died on her at mile 4, leaving...

  • 2010 Running Resolution #4 - The Race Calendar

    I need goals to accomplish with my running. I like to know what challenge is ahead and what I need to do to get there. Having Walt running with me is a great motivator too – this will be the first year she’s run a 10k and Half-Marathon and...
