Rum-running

The scenery around me was so jaw dropping I almost forgot about all the little pinches I was getting. They were just a pinch, like a needle but it hurt so bad. Nothing like I ever experienced before. The city was filled with people not bugs!! Tamara finally asked, “Why are you itching and swatting all over?” I said, “I’m being attacked by some weird insects.” “It might be mosquitos, gnats, or just plain bugs.” Tamara said. I had no idea what those were but I didn’t want to sound like a…

you are doing a speed workout you would want lighter shoes rather than if you were on a long, easy run. Another case would be if you were training on trails versus training on the road; you would want to buy trail shoes for trail running and road shoes for road running. It is very easy to find and buy the right training shoe if you know what you need and want. Even though, it is easy to find the right pair of shoes it is very important because without a good pair of shoes the chances of getting…

stretches and after that everybody goes to their field events. If they don't have any they go sit in our area and the people that do go warm up and get there steps or whatever. I was long jumper and I went and warmed up. I got my steps, and after I had running events to do. Then when that’s done we go home and we go back to practice. So we are halfway or a little half way done and my back starts hurting. I just played through the pain for four or five weeks, and then I went to the doctor and he…

like those desperate people who want to win, but to always be honest “Raymond!! You’re finally old enough for the Halo Race!” screamed Squeaky running down the stairs. “I know, I can’t wait for you to train Harley and me”, I replied excitedly. I wondered to myself, “What the race is going to be like.” Just like old times Squeaky is excited for running season. Last year she beat her enemy, Gretchen, at the May Day race. Unusually they made up and became friends. I left to go to…

what I think of running, I will look at you and vindictively tell you that I hate running. Which is a very true statement. I do hate running. But it is also the one thing that I enjoy no matter what time of year it is. No matter what is going on, there is always time to run. That probably sounds very contradictory, and I would understand if you are now confused. Its a lot like vegetables. Most people hate them, but veggies are good for you, so they eat them anyway. To me, running is much the…

Summer isn't the best time of year for running. The main reason is the heat. A runner builds up a lot of internal heat but isn't moving fast enough to benefit much from the cooling effects of a good wind stream as a bicyclist would. Beyond the problem of staying cool, there are a lot of other considerations, especially when running long distances. Everything should be as optimized as possible. This includes your gear, such as your shoes and sunglasses. Unfortunately, sunglasses don't always get…
