Hey sorry, was going to keep the content rolling a couple weeks ago, what with so much excitement following the Olympic Trials marathon, close of the indoor season, and thinking about outdoors, training philosophy, and some fillers on my own comeback trail.
But then covid-19, simmering for a couple months here in the States, exploded on us all and turned our lives upside down.
So I’m working from home, semi-shelter in place, not getting out much other than to shop for food and get out for a run. I figured they’d keep Nordic skiing going because it’s an ideal social distancing activity, because you can’t get closer than about 6 feet from other skiers. But all the centers closed and grooming has all but stopped. We made an attempt last weekend but it was mission fail with track skis on fresh snow.
Nevertheless, more content is on the way soon!

I am a long time runner and coach and I'm here to write about it. I have blogged some before (years ago), but that site is now archived. My plan is to write some personal reflections skipping around the 40+ years of my running career, probably some race reports. However, I'd like to spend a fair amount discussing current events in the world of running, and likely dishing out on some coaching and training advice. I have some opinions--okay a lot--and like to share those. rws_58@yahoo.com
Here are my obligatory PRs, all set way back in the 1980s and 1990s:
