5K with a double jogger
Howdy, friends. I recently won an entry into a local 5K. I haven’t “raced” a 5K since 2006, and I’m not really in shape to race one now. That’s a totally different kind of running than what I’ve been...

In the pool
Howdy, friends. After whining all day yesterday, I decided to go out last night and buy a new swimsuit for pool running. The last time I bought one was 2006. I don’t need to tell you how saggy, baggy,...

“Swimming”
Howdy, friends. I had to put that in air quotes, because I don’t think you can technically call what I do in the pool real swimming. I took some swimming lessons about 9 years ago. They helped — I...

Monster month
Howdy, friends. I’m about 6.5 weeks out from the Boston Marathon. This is about the time in marathon training when you log huge weeks of mileage, when you’re feeling like finally you are in race shape,...

Marathon pace groups, running while pregnant
Howdy, friends. No, I am not pregnant. We’re done with that in the Palfy Klemond house, unfortunately. But I did come across this article this week about running while pregnant. It talks about how you...

That really hurts
Howdy, friends. So, my bizarro calf cramp that won’t go away got weirder yesterday. My left leg cramped on Tuesday, and felt awful Wednesday. I haven’t run since basically falling down in pain earlier...

Week in running
Howdy, friends. I’m three weeks out from the race and had an OK week. I ended up with 54 miles, including 17.5 on Saturday and 17 on Sunday. It’s weird to have so many of my miles locked up on the...
