I Committed to Run 1,000 Miles in 2018 Just an FYI – I don’t drink, ever. You may wonder then why I commented in a post in Mark Zuckerberg’s “A Year of Running” group on New Year’s Day that I was going to try to run 1,000 miles in 2018. […]
Rich’s Journal
We used to say that our tired legs were because of lactic acid build up. For runners, we’d say that there was a 48 hour rule meaning that we were more tired 48 hours after a hard workout than we are the next day. Now we know that we are […]
Tired Legs From DOMS
After 4 days of record rainfall from Wednesday to Saturday this week, why I chose the Embudito Trail for my run this morning, I don’t know. It is steep, rocky, the footing is poor – and that’s under normal conditions. But one reason that I chose it is because it […]

Hurricane Harvey Relief – How to Donate
I wanted to take some time out of my day to say thank you for making a difference although you may wonder what I am referring to. I am thanking you for visiting a health and fitness blog and for taking the steps that you are taking – whether they […]
Thank You For Making A Difference
I’m not rebellious and I am definitely not anti-government. I am proud to be one of the people who has done the things that will make our planet great again and at the same time will make our nation great again. But not by implementing a travel ban that bans Muslims. […]
Make Our Planet Great Again
I’ve been alive for more than 66 year years. My parents went through World War 1, the Great Depression and World War 2 in England. They came to this country after World War 2 because Europe was devastated by the ravages of war. Because of the devastation, the United States […]
Everyone is Laughing at Us Now
It is Memorial Day and Grace and Carly and I are having a quiet day. In fact, Grace went to the movies and a sleepover at her friends house, so now it is just Carly and me. We all know the significance of today and the sacrifices that were made […]
Remembering the Fallen
A week ago last night, the water pump on my fourteen year old Toyota 4Runner failed but I made it home and parked in the driveway, which was a huge blessing. Since 2003, the only things that the 4Runner has needed are brakes and two batteries. It has been remarkably […]
Day 8
Yesterday, the Beachbody On Demand Challenge du Jour was 21 Day Fix Upper Fix. I ran, so I didn’t do the workout but it was on my mind today to do it. Instead, though, I did 21 Day Fix Extreme Upper Fix Extreme and I feel like I am finally […]
I Got My 21 Day “Fix” Today
I don’t smoke, drink, do drugs or go to parties. I run. What’s your stress reliever? I think that we can all agree that stress is a killer, too often, literally. I have had so much stress in the past eight years, sometimes what could even be categorized as super […]
What’s Your Stress Reliever?
Ten years ago today, I clicked on a link that I had been given. I was told that it would be a way to promote Beachbody that would replace the affiliate banner marketing campaign that I had been using. That turned out to be very good advice and has been […]
