Product Love – 365 Everyday Value Peanut Butter

I eat entirely too much peanut butter.  Although I eat gobs of the nutty goodness, that doesn’t mean I’m not picky about my brand.

WOTW – The Brendan Run

The Brendan run is much like the Dan G run.  The Bill and Andy run is fairly similar, but on average a little slower.  So what is this run about and why do I bother sharing it as a workout of the week?

Reprint from USAT: One Athlete, Three Titles in 2010

Race Report – Run at the Rock 14 Mile Trail Run

I’ve done this Burlington, NC race before in 2005 and 2006.  It takes place in Cedarock Park which has more than just several miles of excellent singletrack, but also lots of other fun stuff to do.  This is why I suggested Gary and Remy attend with me, but the little guy didn’t love the cold weather, so cold weather local events are Mommy only in the future.  Anyway, here’s my race report.

WOTW: 3+ Hour Long Trail Run

OK.  I know that the label “Workout of the Week” is a blatant farce since publicly traded companies post their quarterly results more frequently than I’ve posted “weekly” workouts, but I don’t feel like changing the tag.   Anyway, here’s a new one.   To slightly make up for the missed time, I’ll talk a little bit about how this workout fits into the series.
