In no particular order, ... http://fivekeysfitness.com/blog/?p=33 So you have fair warning, I haven’t even begun this yet and I have a feeling it’s going to be quite long.  So if long reports aren’t for you, here’s the precap: it was awesome. For the rest of you, here we go: Late last summer, partway through my training for my ... http://fivekeysfitness.com/blog/?p=32 As the witching hour draws near, I'm determined not to start droning a "woe is me" song like a Gregorian monk on barbiturates.  Instead, I'll complain about my lack of consistency in the hopes that I will shame myself into doing better. In the last few weeks, I've had some good ... http://fivekeysfitness.com/blog/?p=31 Life has been busy lately, all around.

First of all, it seems that my forced rest from the road has been mostly positive.  One episode aside (I'll get to this in a minute), I've been mostly pain free ... http://fivekeysfitness.com/blog/?p=26 We're getting ready this morning to head down to a hilly portion of Ohio (read: not Columbus). We'll be visiting some family over the long weekend, and I decided that it would be a good time to get in a little run. I did some looking at some of the courses ... http://fivekeysfitness.com/blog/?p=25 Disappointment I've mentioned that Jerry and I were trying to go under 30 minutes in the Komen Race for the Cure.  When we lined up Saturday morning and the gun went off, we felt good.  The temperature was ideal for running, the course was changed from previous years which provided for ... http://fivekeysfitness.com/blog/?p=24
