I needed 10 miles this weekend. Because it was raining yesterday, and I really could not see doing 10 miles inside on a track, I opted to walk today. Though chilly and damp out, at least it wasn’t actively raining. It was […]
Deb and I returned to Griggs Reservoir for a hill workout today. Armed with my new HR monitor and new shoes, I was ready. Within minutes I realized I do not need the insoles for this pair of shoes. The asics offer […]
I’ve had a few issues with recent purchases from running stores. The problems were not necessarily the fault of the running stores, but I hate handling these types of errands — I hate taking things back or having to figure out why […]
