As you read last week, I was a few pounds away from meeting my overall goal of weighing 213 by October 10. I changed up my diet this week, reincorporating salads and more water (as if I could consume anymore than the 70 oz a day I already drink) and lo and behold my weight…

Here’s the deal. I’ve never run this race before and am not familiar with the starting/staging area for the race. But the folks affiliated with the Running of the Ears website (www.runningoftheears.com) have run the race. So since I want to meet some of those great people, and I want to meet those listeners who…

Gordon finally gets a chance to record a new show and rambles about the importance of taking the long view of your running–and life in general. Don’t let your life be defined by a single event and don’t let your running be defined by a single run. Look at the long-term cycles. In other words,…

In the first of a series of interviews with Disney Podcasters who also run, Gordon interviews Nate Parrish of the excellent Wedway Radio podcast (www.wedwayradio.com) about running and Disney. Callers want to know if the food processor is okay after trying to make hummus out of uncooked chickpeas. And Gordon’s kids argue over legos. My…

Ran 110 miles in August. That’s the most in a month since last October and marathon training. Weight news: today’s weigh-in showed 220.5. That’s 11 pounds in 7 weeks.

Ran about 9 miles of trails at Mt Cheaha, the highest point in Alabama today with my friend Mark (aka : @bamarunner on twitter). This was my first trail run and it wiped me out. My body is TIRED from this. Trail running is so different than road running, that is true.
