  • RunFor Talks EarBuds (and Clips)!

    With the recent trend of treadmill running in this heat, the Ipod has made it’s reappearance into my training routine. I’ve become a pretty social runner between Walt and running groups so the Ipod has been gathering dust although at times...

  • RunFor Stays Cool In This Miserable Heat!

    July is the reason I dread signing up for Fall races. Training for my October event means that I am logging some serious miles in 75+ degree temperatures or on the treadmill. I'm honestly not sure which is the lesser evil some days. So for everyone...

  • RunFor Talks Coconut Water!

    If there has to be an up side to running in the heat, it's the smoothie treat that I get after my weekend long run. This past weekend, it was a necessity. We got started on our run late and it was a balmy (insert sarcasm here) 92 degrees when we finished...

  • RunFor Talks Tums!

    Ah acid reflux, my nemesis has returned. J While I can normally go through any given week and never have a problem, there is something about running that makes me want to reach for the Tums. So for anyone else dealing with this, here’s some information...

  • RunFor Talks College!

    While sometimes running as a hobby can feel like I’m earning post-graduate degrees (one in nutrition, one in sports medicine, one in psychology), I’ve never heard of running as part of a curriculum until this course. Kinesiology 4501 is offered...

  • RunFor Talks About Running Less?

    With a race about 15 weeks away and my running in a bit of a rut with the heat and vacations knocking me off schedule, I’ve been looking around for a training plan to get me ready for the Kansas City Marathon on October 16. A friend of mine training...

  • RunFor Talks Pikermi!

    In a search of a half-marathon to add to the calendar, I was a little surprised to find many "mini-marathons" listed. I'm not sure if race organizers are trying to make the distance less intimidating or if they just like the semi-alliteration...

  • RunFor Talks Manners!

    I would like to start by saying that I'm sure that everyone reading this displays proper running etiquette so in no way is this a lecture. I'm just putting this out there in hopes that some of the people who I share sidewalks with in this world...

  • RunFor Goes A Little Nuts!

    A friend of mine gives me a little too much grief about my eating almonds or walnuts every day. She constantly tells me that if I stopped eating so many then I wouldn't have to keep running to keep the weight off. So this post is an attempt to explain...

  • RunTalk Gets Muddy!

    It might be the only race you do that actually hopes for rain! Mud Runs are fun and challenging and are popping up all over the US. For those of you who haven't seen one, it's a run course with professionaly built obstacles and multiple mud pits...

  • RunFor Talks Twilight!

    No, not that Twilight. I'm talking about one of the joys of summertime - the twilight 5ks! Taking advantage of longer days, these 5ks are becoming more and more popular. Not only are the race organizers taking advantage of cooler nightime weather...

  • RunFor Talks Hiking!

    Summer brings with it a return to nature as more and more of us head outdoors to enjoy the sunny days. Hiking is a popular recreational sport for many of us but as we hit the trails, it’s important to remember that hiking is not the same as a walk...

  • RunFor Talks Gardening! (Seriously, it's running-related)

    In my overzealousness and determination to stop paying for overpriced veggies at my grocery store, I went a little nuts planting our veggies last weekend. Aside from the back and shoulder pain that comes with working in the clay soil of the South, there...

  • RunFor Hits The Sand!

    In honor of the end of the beach-centric Lost television series or in honor of the many beach vacations coming up (29 days and counting!) or even in honor of the famous slo-mo Baywatch montage that we all dream of recreating, let’s talk about running...

  • RunFor Talks Speed Exercises!

    While most of us have incorporated speed workouts into our running, there are also a set of stationary exercises that runner can benefit from to increase their speed. As the weather gets hotter and muggier here in the South, I'm going to focus more...
