A simple goal last summer was to run a mile. At the end of the mile; which I didn't complete by a long shot, I seriously wondered if it would be appropriate to call a cab. ;-) Read more

I have to agree - it sounds like you need a race. Races become little checkpoints along the way to remind you that you need to get out there. They don't have to be 1/2 marathons though. Throw in a 5K and do a little "speed work." See where you're at in a shorter race. There's a big difference between going for a 5K Read more

My attempt to appease the interwebs with their unheard calls.

Jogged for 13 minutes and 26 seconds today. Straight. First time to run in over a year and very much due to these posts. Fat, old, and looking to get older. Thanks, Sean. Read more

Same with me regarding the BBC Sessions and Stairway, Sean. Did you know that performance was before the record was released? I always thought this was the reason for the audience's stunned-yet-impressed applause at the end of the song. Also, the BBC Sessions version of That's the Way is so much better than the Read more

Sean, you've been a big help in my own personal (read: horrible) quest to start running. I hadn't exercised seriously since playing soccer in high school (I'm 24 now), but figured I should probably do something to get my body to last another, I don't know, 50 years. Moved from the east coast to Illinois a few months Read more

I would like at least a 24 hour warning before this happens. Read more

Wow. That makes Andres Cantor sound like Steven Wright. Read more

I'm by no means in the same boat as you (avg sized 21yo girl) but I've wanted to do a triathlon for a while (have bike/swim down) - just couldn't run even 1/10 mi, let alone sustain a jog for even one minute (i'd run too fast and got exhausted, and wasn't willing to try intervals). i was ashamed all my friends could Read more

Ironically, the Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act is the only the only thing stopping cigarettes from being banned outright at the federal level. Without getting into the technical legalese, here's the gist: Read more

Tip: If I were (for some inconceivable reason) to run voluntarily, I would start off with Short Change Hero by The Heavy. You get 65-70 seconds of warming up (and starting to feel like a wild west cowboy). Then it'll start to ramp up. By the time it hits the first chorus you will feel like a super hero. Read more
