So I read something very interesting today, well interesting to me as a Nike+ user/fan. They are releasing a Nike+ SportBand that will allow users to use the Nike+ system without an iPod. Don’t get me wrong, I love my iPod nano, but this solves two of my problems. First of all, […]

Like most of you diabetic runners, I am in a constant state of learning and refining my protocol for good blood sugars during my runs. I’ve gotten much better at it, even realizing that sometimes you have to trust your gut instinct, since no two day are the same leading up to a run. […]

I’ve been tagged by Kristen (and then Brett too) to do the IMPOSSIBLE: Six Word Memoir. I sat down and tried a few (which you can read at the end by clicking the “continue reading….” link), but have settled on the following:

I was planning to run my virtual race on Saturday, the day after the media folks got together in Miami to run their race. The weather was bad, and we had a children’s birthday party to attend, so in the end it didn’t happen Saturday. Looking back, this was actually a good thing […]
