The cold, well check out the Dark Sky time machine data Jan 4th, Jan 5th, Jan 6th, Jan 7th. What did I loose? I lost my one good working AirPod on Flight of passage. I also lost, or misplaced, my MagicBand when packing my luggage the night before my flight home. I eventually did find the MagicBand a few days later shoved in the toe of my running shoes.https://the.nullog.net/2017/10/a-2017-race/Sat, 07 Oct 2017 11:13:34 -0400https://the.nullog.net/2017/10/a-2017-race/I ran a race in 2017. I didn’t think I would and I wait to nearly the last moment to register. I have four weeks of vacation to use or lose over the course of year. I try to spread them out over the year. Looking a head back in early January I had no plans of running any races this year. I did however plan my vacation time around local events that I could run if I so choose to.https://the.nullog.net/2017/09/running-behind/Mon, 25 Sep 2017 19:38:57 -0400https://the.nullog.net/2017/09/running-behind/Talk about a late posting. I had this done for months just waiting to publish. I slacked off all year and failed to up-date my 2015 year in running. In late 2014 to early 2015 I decided I wanted to run the Dopey Challenge along with the inaugural Dark Side Half Marathon at Disney World. I tried to make my 2015 supportive of these goals. I registered to run my home town half marathon early in the year along with the fall full marathon in Grand Rapids.https://the.nullog.net/2015/04/lets-move-festival-of-races/Sat, 25 Apr 2015 23:13:13 -0400https://the.nullog.net/2015/04/lets-move-festival-of-races/Last year was the first year I ran this event. Mentally I felt down for most of the race, physically I felt a bit off; I ran my fast official half marathon it was also the last race I ran. This year, I was in a good place mentally but a tad unsure physically. When I signed up I wanted to better last years time, my goal time was 2:10.https://the.nullog.net/2015/01/running-ahead-in-2015/Sat, 24 Jan 2015 12:56:14 -0500https://the.nullog.net/2015/01/running-ahead-in-2015/Last year I had many plans 2014, running wise. After the Dopey Challenge I didn’t do much and only finished one other event. For that event, Let’s Move Festival of Races, I didn’t do any training. I also entered Kona Running Company’s Kona Run, a massive fail. A few days earlier I had eye lid surgery, I miss-calculated the drive time and missed the start of the race partly due to to the eye lid surgery.https://the.nullog.net/2014/01/the-dopey-weekend/Sun, 19 Jan 2014 00:00:00 -0500https://the.nullog.net/2014/01/the-dopey-weekend/The trip of course didn’t start as planned. The schedule flight out of DTW to MCO was canceled the previous morning due to weather conditions. I quickly called the airline and the earliest flight I could get to MCO was scheduled to land at 755pm; the expo was scheduled to close at 8pm. The initial question of how do I get to Disney was replaced with how do make it to Disney in time to pick up my bib.https://the.nullog.net/2013/11/quantitative-self/Sun, 17 Nov 2013 00:00:00 -0500https://the.nullog.net/2013/11/quantitative-self/My final vacation for the year is just around the corner, which of course I’m looking forward to. I have spent the last week thinking of different projects I want to tackle over the week. I of course want to fin down some of the details to my January vacation plans… the quantitative self side of things. I played my order for the Magellan Echo, which I plan on using all four days of the Dopey Challenge.https://the.nullog.net/2013/11/smart-watches/Mon, 11 Nov 2013 00:00:00 -0500https://the.nullog.net/2013/11/smart-watches/I was a huge watch person in the later years of high school and most of my college life. Then sometime in my senior year I stop wearing a watch. It wasn’t until early this year I start wearing a watch on a semi-regular basis. But first let me back track, once I decided I was going to make an attempt at the Goofy Challenge in `13 I wanted to find a way to track my effort in a quantitative way.https://the.nullog.net/2013/07/stop-rounding-your-back-during-squats/Sat, 13 Jul 2013 00:00:00 -0400https://the.nullog.net/2013/07/stop-rounding-your-back-during-squats/I think a good deal of my current running related knee pain is related to weak strenght in my hip flexors along with hip flexibility and mobility.https://the.nullog.net/2013/06/daily-comfort/Thu, 06 Jun 2013 00:00:00 -0400https://the.nullog.net/2013/06/daily-comfort/This may sound like a horror story at first but I assure you it isn’t. I wanted to find a lightweight shoe comfortable to wear daily, with a low toe to heal drop. However this shoe wasn’t intended to be used for daily use but as a gym workout shoe. Over the winter I’ve been eyeing up Sketchers GOrun 1 line from a distance. Just a few weeks ago I stopped by my local Skechers Outlet, and picked up a new pair of shoes.https://the.nullog.net/2013/03/heigh-ho-heigh-ho/Sat, 23 Mar 2013 00:00:00 -0400https://the.nullog.net/2013/03/heigh-ho-heigh-ho/My 2013 goal was to complete the Goofy, and I meet my goal. I was nearly sure I would running the Goofy in 2014 as I felt I could have done better. Now Disney has announced the Dopey Challenge; 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and Marathon for a whopping 48.6 miles for 6 medals. I think I now have a new challenge. My room is booked.https://the.nullog.net/2013/03/running-2012/Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:00:00 -0400https://the.nullog.net/2013/03/running-2012/I started writing this post on the plane home after completing my first marathon in January. Then it sat in my draft folder, and sat some more; the time has come to finally publish. In 2012 I ran the Chicago Rock ‘n’ Roll Half along with the Walt Disney World Wine and Dine. The Chicago Rock ‘n Roll went far better than I could have expected, while the Wine & Dine went far worse than I could have imagined.https://the.nullog.net/2012/09/run-mate/Mon, 17 Sep 2012 00:00:00 -0400https://the.nullog.net/2012/09/run-mate/When I first started to run I would run excessive at the gym, indoors on a treadmill. The idea of running outside, where the elements and nature could interfere with my feeble attempt at running horrified me. I knew I need help to start running, couch to 5k apps where all the rage. They where all relatively cheap and similarly priced at $2.99. I knew I would eventually outgrow the 5k apps, as I was targeting completing a half-marathon.https://the.nullog.net/2012/09/the-ultimate-runners-guide/Sat, 15 Sep 2012 00:00:00 -0400https://the.nullog.net/2012/09/the-ultimate-runners-guide/https://the.nullog.net/2012/09/running-check-list/Wed, 12 Sep 2012 00:00:00 -0400https://the.nullog.net/2012/09/running-check-list/
