    RunKeeper is the best! Constantly sending me emails with accomplishments that would otherwise go unnoticed. February is off to a great start, new PR, although knee pain continues on and off. Need to learn how to better pace myself and keep my runs consistent.

    “Motivated” sums up how I feel about my running progress over the past several weeks.  I have high hopes for 2014, thanks to my motivating friends on RunKeeeper.com. My kee has been causing some pain throughout January.  I also bruised a rib during a New Years ski trip.  Both seem to be getting better, but…

    Just after a bog snow storm, trying to find a good, safe place to run outdoors can be dificult. My go-to place in this area is Lincoln Woods, the state plows the road around Olney Pond and for the most park is closed to traffic. The hills are a bit of a challenge, but I…

    Great run today at Lincoln Woods State Park in Lincoln, Rhode Island. I started off slow as I navigated the snow and ice. Once I got comfortable and warmed up, the run was really enjoyable. The snow yesterday made the park picturesque and sunset just added to the scene. The park was nearly empty on…

Runner’s World Magazine has a great series, Newbie Chronicles which is great source of motivating articles for folks starting out. Here’s the one that motivated me to purchase some light winter running gear and hit…
