Pick Up Your Trash For The Sake of Runners and Livestock
When was the last time you threw a piece of trash out the window of your vehicle? Or tossed trash in the pickup bed, knowing well it would blow out down the highway? When was the last time you picked up the trash out of a roadside ditch? I know all too well that I’m […]
Winter Running, Audio Books, Better Eating
We’ve been really lucky in Montana as far as winter weather goes. Or unlucky, depending on your perspective. February has been on track to be the warmest ever for Helena, 13 degrees above average. This’ll be only the 3rd day this month we’ve remained below freezing and we’ve had several days near or above 60. […]
Setting my running goals for 2015
Last year I became a bit more dedicated to my running interests. Living in Helena provides plenty of opportunity for my feet to hit the pavement (and dirt). Even though Helena is the capitol city for Montana, traffic is relatively light and I’ve laced up the shoes after work and have run from one end of […]
#TeamBeef at Ragnar Relay Napa Valley
I’m an aspiring runner. There was one day in high school where I ran a mile in 6:30 and that’s likely as fast as I’ll ever be. I don’t run marathons, and a 10k is a comfortable distance for me right now. In all reality, I hate running and push myself out of bed each […]
The Pony Trot 10k | Travel Montana
At first glance, I thought this had to be a joke. A listing on the Montana Running calendars was titled the “Pony Trot”. Oh, that’s a cute name. But, It was only $20 and I had yet to explore much south of I-90 and Three Forks, so I thought, why not?! I haven’t been able […]
Montana Running Ranchers Head to Napa Valley for Ragnar Relay
About the farthest I’ve ever managed to run in a day is a 10k (6 miles) race earlier this year, and other than that I’ve been pretty content with 5 miles or less. You can usually catch me in the gym or on the county roads running a 5k fairly regular. For me, running has […]
Running Confused | Where Do I Find Credible Information?
Running should be easy. Right? You buy a pair of running shoes, lace them up and take off down the road. But wait…. What shoes are the right fit? Will they injure my feet if they’re not just the right fit? Should I stretch before I run? What’s the best way to build up my […]
Blackberry App Review: Endomondo (Free version)
Let’s face it, I’m no Mobile Farmer when it comes to Smartphones. I just graduated from my so-called “dumbphone” last November and even though my Blackberry has smartphone capabilities, it’s far from meeting that potential in the hands of this guy. Earlier this year I announced my plans to participate in a Tough Mudder competition to […]
Can Team Beef Be A Tough Mudder?
Oh yeah. I’m kind of excited about this one. How about branching out into one of the toughest, most fun competitions I’ve seen in quite a while? I’m talking about the Tough Mudder! A series of obstacles – obviously including lots of mud – that take competitors through the trenches, under the “Devil’s Beard”, in […]
