And yes we felt it…. A couple of sharp bounces of the floor, and then as we ran to the kids room, it slowly rolled its way out.
It was a 5.6 with the epicenter about 50 KM away. […]

Short and Sweet

Posted by Jamie Published in Injury, Diabetes, Training Run

Short and Sweet describes yesterday perfectly.
First of all, after a week off, I gave into temptation and put the new shoes on for a run. The shoes felt good, and more importantly, the foot felt great! No pain during or after the run, though I must admit it was indeed short and sweet, […]

Posted by Jamie Published in General

The company name Asics is an acronym for the Latin phrase “Anima Sana In Corpore Sano” which translates into English as “Sound mind in a sound body“.

Saturday, I woke up and decided that instead of waiting another week to run my Phedippidations World Wide Half entry (also the Nike+ Half), I would register for the San Jose Rock’n’Roll 1/2 Marathon, and get it done this weekend. That afternoon we headed over to the expo and registered, collected […]
