The problem with jogging in Miami in the summer: 78 degrees and 91% humidity at 6am.
I’ve been jogging on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays with Ben, and we have yet to run through an entire 5k without walking some. Within two miles, the sweat is just pouring off me and I’m completely hot. (Not in the [...]

Ran two more 5k’s
Ben and I ran the Ocean Drive 5k here on South Beach, my first run at all in weeks. I ran my worst time yet so far for a 5k, and Erika got chuckles out of the fact that my times had been getting worse.
Thankfully we turned around and ran the Fort Lauderdale Mercedes Corporate [...]

Ben and I finishing the Run for Miracles
I ran a 5k this morning in Delray Beach with Ben, the guy from work who got me started on the whole running thing.
At our post-race breakfast at Cracker Barrel (helllooo, calories), I said that I don’t enjoy running at all, but I’m doing it for the long [...]

My first 5k race
Today, I signed up for my first 5k race - well, my first race period - the 12th Annual Fantasy of Lights 5k.
While this will technically be a race, I will in no way be judging my results by the time it takes me to finish, or where I finish in the pack. I feel [...]
My First Nike+iPod Run
Okay, maybe the word “run” is a little ambitious. Here’s the screenshot from my first jog with the Nike+iPod:
That’s what I saw on the computer after I reconnected my iPod. The iPod automatically transmits your running - okay, okay, jogging - data up to the NikePlus.com site. I’m using the Podcasts for [...]
For $29, you too can be a runner
I picked up a Nike Plus iPod kit from the Apple store for $29 today. It consists of a little transmitter that goes in a running shoe, and a receiver that plugs into an iPod Nano (which I already had). It tracks how far I’ve run, and how fast.
One of our recently hired [...]
