Procrastination

I have been planning to do the core exercises recommended in the book Runner's World's The Complete Book of Running. I have been planning to do it on my non-running days. I have been planning since June of last year.

Today, my wife just bought the January issue of Women's Health Magazine, which comes with the January issue of Runner's World Magazine. In it, I read about some leg exercises that aim to increase the force of the stride, so that push-off will be more powerful, so that one can run faster. I think I need that too, so I plan to do it on my non-running days too.

I'm blogging about it, so that I might actually do it this time.

It's a running day today. I just finished my run an hour ago, so I'll start tomorrow ...

It didn't change this year. My waistline didn't change too. I thought that after training for and finishing a marathon, I would at least have a normal BMI. Oh well. I still have plantar fasciitis and for the first time I have a dead toenail (on my big toe; from my marathon). About my running gear: I retired my Mizuno Wave Elixir and Nike LunarGlide, and replaced them with the New Balance 870 and Nike LunarGlide 2. I bought 2 new Nike running shorts, 2 New Balance c...

Brand Diversity

When I got back from a run this evening, I noticed I was wearing an Adidas cap, an Apple Nike watch, a Reebok shirt, New Balance shorts, Saucony socks, and Hoka shoes. Brands were well represented.
