This seems like a good one to jump back in -- I've been away in Puerto Vallarta where the running is great if you don't mind fighting with the buses and the taxis on highway 200. Also the beach at Buc ...

Best one I've seen, apart from an eagle diving straight down into the water to snag a fish, is the time we were running along the Stanley Park seawall, and there was an awful racket overhead. We looke ...

I try not to think about food until after an hour. It can drive you nuts. Especially if you're into mile 14 of a 20 miler in the A.M. and someone in the neighborhood's frying bacon. I don't eat much b ...

Back when I lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, it was routine to go on a long run in -38 weather. I think we still used Fahrenheit in Canada at the time, but at that temperature, Fahrenheit, Celsius, it's a ...

Three little words: Qualify for Boston.

Target: May 1, 2005, Vancouver: need to run 3:45:59.

I've run a couple of 3:45s before, just not in the last decade...

It's my own program, but it borrow heavily from Marathon Training and The Boston Qualifier in Peak Running Performance, published by Road Runners Sports. I have to run 3:45 to qualify. I finished Sacr ...

Hey Rickshaw, that was the most fun you can have ... alone ... on a treadmill.

Hey, I was 34 once...I think.

Happy belated birthday Steve!

OK, I did it. Broke 40 on the treadmill yesterday evening: 39:34. It's amazing how much effortt one degree of elevation adds! Usually when I'm running "fast", I set the elevation to zero -- who needs ...

1) Like some others, I was hoping to qualify for Boston and didn't make the 3:45 required in my 55 plus age group, running 4:03 in Portland and 4:00 at the California International Marathon. Still, I' ...

I won't reveal my finish time until the final results are compiled, but I will say that I'm pretty pleased. I paced it very well, with all my mile splits within 8 seconds of each other. I also stuck ...

There's an article on the Runner's World web site by Amby Burfoot about Lance Armstrong. Even the experts disagree on how fast he could run a marathon--here's just one paragraph:

Hey, Steve. It's like Christmas.

I like:

1) Online Training log--especially with a food tracker
2) Pacing tools, especially if we can log 00:00:00
3) Other tools--who won't use them?

Psuli, were you at CIM this year? Maybe I saw you there. I've run Portland a couple of times too. We may bump into each other one of these days.

I'm a 4 hour marathoner, which puts me right in the middle of the debate. It's all relative. I know there are a lot of sub-3 hour marathoners who see guys like me as clutter. I have also experienced t ...
