Legend In My Mind: Depression and all that jazz

http://legend-in-my-own-mind.blogspot.com/2008/11/depression-and-all-that-jazz.html

Legend In My Mind. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" - Steve Prefontaine. Friday, November 21, 2008. Depression and all that jazz. One reason I run, do yoga, pilates and lift a few weights is to escape depression. I firmly believe that if I take care of my body my mind will follow. I'm told that we're in the midst of the worse financial crisis since the Great Depression that my dad experienced in the 30s. Maybe I'll lose my job and have to run for a living? Kansas farm life w...

Legend In My Mind: August 2007

http://legend-in-my-own-mind.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html

Legend In My Mind. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" - Steve Prefontaine. Friday, August 31, 2007. Hoping someday I'll return to the trails where my tough friends dwell so I can tell them about my setback if they want to listen, and they usually do want to hear from a fellow runner. I suppose it's just one of the responsibilities of running that brings runners together for sometimes brief and occasionally lengthy chats. Tuesday, August 28, 2007. CES also offers a speedwork se...

Legend In My Mind: September 2007

http://legend-in-my-own-mind.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

Legend In My Mind. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" - Steve Prefontaine. Saturday, September 29, 2007. I realize this isn't quite as exciting as telling you about a grueling 20 mile long run in the heat and humidity with biting horse flies nipping at my heels, but this is the best I can do at this point. But, I'm alive. Life is short, enjoy! Tuesday, September 25, 2007. The past several days have been pretty enjoyable considering the spot I've been in since early August.

Legend In My Mind: Isn't It Amazing

http://legend-in-my-own-mind.blogspot.com/2009/02/isnt-it-amazing.html

Legend In My Mind. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" - Steve Prefontaine. Wednesday, February 04, 2009. Isn't it amazing how short a mile is when you're in shape and how long a block is when you have diarrhea? So true. So true. :). I laughed so hard I practically choked on my drink! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Windy City, Midwest, United States. Thas me in the white hat wit my friend Larry. We ran a marathon once in San Diego, California and boy was it hard work!

Legend In My Mind: Staying In Shape

http://legend-in-my-own-mind.blogspot.com/2009/02/staying-in-shape.html

Legend In My Mind. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" - Steve Prefontaine. Sunday, February 01, 2009. Staying in shape, or at least keeping from falling apart is quite a challenge for me in the winter, especially this winter. I vowed to keep running through the winter but I have to confess I wimped out in January with the single digit readings and below zero wind chills here in the windy city. I just can't get into running all bundled up like a damned Santa Claus. Weights have...

Legend In My Mind: Struggling!

http://legend-in-my-own-mind.blogspot.com/2008/06/struggling.html

Legend In My Mind. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" - Steve Prefontaine. Sunday, June 22, 2008. Ran or tried to do something resembling running this morning in the Miles For Malawi 5k race in Lincoln Park. It was a nice morning but I struggled worse than I did last Sunday so I'm getting pretty discouraged and frustrated. I keep thinking that if I stay with it I'll get a breakthrough someday but it's just not happening. I hope your runs and training are going much better.

Legend In My Mind: Just Thinking

http://legend-in-my-own-mind.blogspot.com/2008/10/just-thinking.html

Legend In My Mind. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" - Steve Prefontaine. Friday, October 31, 2008. I was jus thinking that wouldn't it be great if we were all runners at heart. There would be no more wars, no petty arguments about money or fame or status. I now know why I run and why I miss being able to keep up with my running buddys. It's because after a couple of miles, we're all in a deep sweat and our feelings flow. Thanks for letting me share my life with you.

Legend In My Mind: October 2007

http://legend-in-my-own-mind.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Legend In My Mind. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" - Steve Prefontaine. Sunday, October 28, 2007. Boy did my dream come true! My work life and career blossomed when I got here and I'm a very lucky guy but since this blog was originally intended as a running blog I feel obligated to write at least a little about my running life. KT offered a toast to "another 20 years" and I'm not ruling it out. Guess the running bug has bitten him too. Now, at the end of my third month of r...

Legend In My Mind: Father's Day Race

http://legend-in-my-own-mind.blogspot.com/2008/06/fathers-day-race.html

Legend In My Mind. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift" - Steve Prefontaine. Monday, June 16, 2008. Sunday, Father's Day, Jacob, Jessica and I ran the 5k Loop the Loop race for Children's Memorial Hospital and what a way to celebrate my special day. After a 1 hour delay because of wind, rain and lightening we took off in what felt like cool conditions but what turned out to be extremly humid conditions which made the little run quite a challenge for me. I'm back running as many ...
