Just putting one foot in front of the other. Rodale Auto Opt-In Email Marketing. I was going through my spam folder the other day and noticed a significant amount of emails from Rodale publications. Most of the emails were promoting products and services from Rodale advertisers or their own products. What was surprising to me was the sheet quantity of emails from titles that I never subscribed too. Instead of auto-opting me into these lists, why don’t you present me with a screen at signup that wil...

Just putting one foot in front of the other. Taper madness: Keeping my sanity. Before I started running longer distances, I just assumed the most difficult aspect of the entire training and racing cycle would be the actual race or. The amount of miles that are required to be ran before race day. Turns out I was dead wrong. The taper has turned out the be the most mentally and physically exhausting part of the cycle for me. 4 more days until the Portland Marathon…. Altra Lone Peak 1.5 Review. I went down ...

Silver Falls Trail Run - Trail of 10 Waterfalls - Geek Turned Runner
http://geekturnedrunner.com/running/silver-falls-trail-run-trail-of-10-waterfalls
Just putting one foot in front of the other. Silver Falls Trail Run – Trail of 10 Waterfalls. This past week, I spent a few nights at the Silver Falls Campground. This gave me an opportunity to run the Trail of 10 Waterfalls trail. It’s a 9 mile out and back trail that features 10 waterfalls and some amazing scenery. It was a slow run, lots of elevation (about 2,000 ft in total), and several starts and stops to check out the falls. I’d highly recommend checking out the area if you can. There is no way.

Just putting one foot in front of the other. 2013 Portland Marathon Recap. The weather gods gave us their blessing yesterday for the Portland Marathon.

The day before the marathon, my wife and our friend Amy. The night was typical tossing and turning (which apparently a poor night sleeping does not impact your raceday performance. Back in May ...

Just putting one foot in front of the other. Well, I have been slacking.My last post has been nearly 4 months, but running has continued, albeit at a more mellow mileage for now. I’ve been busy with a new position at UltraRunning Magazine. A few weeks ago I signed up for my second 50K. The Mcdonald Forest 50K. This will be a big change from the McKenzie river. Nearly 7,000 of elevation gain and loss. I see lots of hill training in my future. My hope is to finish under 7 hours. I am just wrapping up my Ma...

Just putting one foot in front of the other. PSA: Sore and Bloody Nipples from Running. I’ve never heard of a medal or award for finishing a run with bloody nipples.
