The Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis is going to be run on December 3, 2011, in Franklin, TN. It should be a great run that will be fun and for a great cause. If you’re looking for a great run on an easy course, this is it.

It feels like it has been forever since there was a 5k run. They are very addictive. But… I will be getting a quick fix and a lot of it. There are runs on the 19th, 24th and December 3rd. Bring it on.

In the featured video section, I found a commercial for the November 19 race. It’s only a couple of weeks away. And then it’s the Grinder’s Switch Turkey Trot on the “home” course!

I’ve had a few issues with the old knee. I’m thinking it’s from the running on blacktop with shoes that have little padding. Don’t get me wrong, I loved those Nike Free Run shoes. It’s just time to think about other things. I bought a pair of Mizuno Wave Rider 14. After a short run [...]

Today we are running in Germantown’s Spaten Bier 5k Run. It is part of their Oktoberfest Celebration. Someone from there said they expect 35,000 at Oktoberfest. I wonder how many will be running? This will be my third race out of six for the fall season. This is Terri’s first. She is going all out [...]
