6/20 - 6/26 Beats, Runs and Life.
1nce again it’s on…
My first three outings last week were tough. The humidity had really taken it’s toll. I felt sluggish and became easily fatigued. Luckily, things started to look up by the weekend, allowing me to get a great long run in. Somehow I even managed to sneak in a hungover, possibly still inebriated, run on Sunday morning. Not proud, just saying. Well, maybe...

Hello (PAUSE)
…good morning (diddy voice)
I haven’t wrote anything too substantial since the end of April. Once the Illinois Marathon was all said and done I had to catch up on some other things that I had been neglecting, work and such. Not to mention, Da Bulls were in the playoffs so naturally I had to head out for each game to watch, drink beer and eat chicken wings. Thank god that’s...

Best way to explore a new place?
…running, hands down! Set out for a long run this (late) morning. My only goal was to log the miles and take in the sights while making my way from the city’s center to the beach. The weather was, and currently is in the 70’s with minimal wind and sunny. In other words, gorgeous!!! I normally don’t carry too much on my person with the exception of keys and a few bucks,...
