Week 11 of the NFL season approaches. I do not really have a lot to say this week, other than that I think that Dallas is going to give Indianapolis their first loss. I think that New England needs to win this game against Green Bay, and I picked them because I just do not…
Jeanne wrote an article about running with headphones over at Complete Running that I wanted to respond to.

Which activity leaves you more sore, running a marathon or doing a workout consisting of a lot of squats and lunges? In general, I would say that the marathon will leave you more sore. A full workout of squats, lunges, rows, pushups, and swiss ball crunches can be accomplished in a mere 20 minutes; 30…
I was recently sent a link to a new website with info about sport injuries. The website is called, appropriately enough, Sports Injury Info.

I officially crossed the finish line of the New York City Marathon in 2 hours, 52 minutes, and 5 seconds. My watch time was 2 hours, 51 minutes, and 18 seconds. My official (net) time was 2 hours, 51 minutes, and 42 seconds. No matter how you cut that, it beats the 2:52:37 that I…
