What is the difference between “jogging” and running? I admit I’ve commit too many brain cells to this thought. There I something diminutive sounding about jogging, like I’m going out in a cute leotard and sweatband to listen to my iPod for an hour instead of running, which sounds like a serious workout. I don’t […]

Run To Music on Your iPhone or MP3 Player for Free. Runners’ World shared this really cool remix site this morning that has 90 BPM tracks that are about 40 minutes long for running. Cool! I needed something to rev up this weekend’s 17-mile run.
I’ve been in search of the holy grail of GPS trackers, heart rate monitors, and MP3 players. When I first started running, I had an iPhone. The story goes like this: I was sitting at my computer one Thursday evening in August, eating a microwave pizza and drinking a beer when I said, “Goddammit, I […]
So tomorrow is my next race — my first race since the end of November! Last year, wen I was training for my first marathon* I didn’t sign up for too many races. As I was training for one big race, every other race seemed to get in the way of my training plan for […]
Tonight’s run felt good. 4 strong miles at a strong, confident pace. I had taken a few days off — did a long-ish run on Saturday morning (7.2 miles) before Tony and I left for our day trip to Montreal. Then, no running until today, so that was a three day break. Still, I felt […]
Last week was the first week in two months that I ran less than the week before. I skipped three days (though I did spinning and walking on two of them), and the longest run was 4 and a half miles. Part of that was because I was at a conference in Boston this weekend […]
My best runs are often a zen combination of these things: A familiar soundtrack with with unfamiliar territory, or A familiar route with different tunes I have been doing much more of the former and not enough of the latter, recently. And despite the fact that I have a 10K+ music library, I was finding […]
Robyn last night was so so so awesome. I did my long run (10.5 miles!) a few hours before the concert, and I still had the energy to jump around for 3 hours at the most amazing concert I have ever been to ever ever ever. I bought this shirt after the concert. It’s from […]
I was hoping to meet up with a running group my friend told me about at Bates College this morning, but I did not meet them. So, instead, I did my longest run ever! 5.46 miles, 66 minutes (including warm-up and cool-down). There has been SOO much ‘effin awesome music for exercising that has come […]
