Runs the World
I run to stay healthy, to keep my insomnia under control and because it’s an easy exercise when I travel. I’ve always run without trackers: I map out my runs online and I know my average speed because I look at my start and stop times. And sometime I participate in runs and they will […]
It was pitch dark and freezing cold when I left my hotel at 5.30am in the morning after donning running gear. I was staying in a hotel close to Columbus and as I only was in New York for 2 days, I was determined to run in Central Park. It had snowed the day before […]
It’s the end of 2016 and the “what I want to accomplish in 2017” tweets are crowding my time line. A magazine challenges us to run 3 miles per day, every day. Most running tweeps aspire to run half marathons, marathons or even ultraruns of 100k or more in the new year. I don’t. Full […]
Amsterdam is one of my favorite cities in the world. It’s small enough to walk everywhere and there is history around every corner. So I never miss an opportunity to visit.

Some days running is wonderful and some days it’s more like a chore. Today was one of those days. I had to run earlier than usual because I had a dinner date. I loaded some great new songs on my iPod that turned out not to be right (sorry Katy Perry, but Rise just doesn’t […]
The short answer? Whatever you want it to be! (or maybe not – see the update below…) Running should be fun and not a chore. I love 5k runs even though I have run longer distances. My friends and I decided to participate in a couple of 10k runs for charity and so I trained […]
There are some people in this world who have to overcome multiple obstacles on a daily base and still succeed in setting a shining example for all of us. This inspirational story highlights the journey of Amaris Tyynismaa and how she runs through everything. Whenever I am on a run and I don’t feel like I […]
Since I wrote about how increasing my pace to 180 bpm made me a better runner, I received several questions about my playlist. It’s a bit of a mixed bag with some retro added. Here it is in alphabetical order: Above the Timberline – Five for Fighting Bright Side of the Road – Van Morrison […]
