From the Road…

You’re Not Going to Believe This But… It is raining in Portland. It has been raining in Portland all week. I am as sick of writing that as you are of reading it, believe me. During the winter the rain is a backdrop. As expected and unnoticed as waking up in the morning. Training rides are...

To the Weather: I Hate You. Love Heidi.

I have been sitting here trying to write about something - anything - besides the crappy weather. It’s impossible. Every start degrades quickly into some rant about Sal calling me a "hail magnet". I have decided to give in and just get it off my chest. I am enamored with the...

The Gravitron: Ten Random Thoughts to Kick Off the Weekend

Remember the Gravitron? It’s that dumb amusement park ride where you lean against the wall and the room spins so fast your sliding wall-pad slides up and you are lifted off your feet, pinned by the mighty G-Forces that the Carnie-in-Charge hoards over you. It was kind of fun, right? ...

Pulling Head Out of Sand: Outlook Bright!

Last week was a challenge. It was one of those weeks where everything bad that can happen seems to be taking its turn. The furnace breaks and it goes on from there. addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Feverydayathleteblog.com%2F2008%2F02%2F11%2Fpulling-head-out-of-sand-outlook-bright%2F';...

June 5, 1988: The Day the Strong Men Cried

I want to tell you about how yesterday my furnace broke and the house was 49 degrees when I woke up. I want to tell you how I had to wait all day long for the tech to show up during the window that the company gave me of "sometime today". I’d like to share how [...]

Ten Strategies for Surviving Running Workouts When Nothing is Going Right

It happens to all of us at some point. An uninspired workout - a grueling, excruciating, inexplicably terrible workout. There’s no good reason for it - just no go-juice. It’s awful. This happened to me on Sunday morning. The longest 45 minute run of my life. Ten times...

Wow. I Heart Analog Saturday.

I missed you. I missed you so much. In the morning I woke up and thought about you. I wondered if you had watched the video and what you would think. I wondered what you were wearing… wait. I didn’t wonder that. But I did miss you. Analog Saturday was hard at first...

Analog Saturdays: What’s Next in Sanity

I have often joked that I am surgically attached to my laptop. I love my laptop. I sometimes sleep with it on the nightstand next to me. All my precious work is in my laptop. All my little internets are in the laptop. When I go to bed, I tuck them in. I know they ...

Going Dry: Giving Up the Bottle

Ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll tell you that I like my beer. Specifically, I like it dark and strong. When I moved to Portland, it was like moving to the beer-lover’s wonderland. This place is wall to wall with absolutely stunning brews. In San Francisco, I was more...
