Onward and Upward - Geek Fitness is now RunningShoes.TV

Onward and Upward – Geek Fitness is now RunningShoes.TV

Well, folks, after 5 years of being awesome and making friends, it's time for me to pretty much revamp and rebrand Geek Fitness into RunningShoes.TV. I won't go into a lot of details, but a few things have happened in the past few months that led to me making this decision and in the end, I think this is going to be a very positive change for me (and for us as a community). The main change will…

New Balance 1080v7 Running Shoes First Impressions/Mini Review

So I just got my new running shoes in, and I decided to take a break from work and give the New Balance 1080v7 a trial run. Now, after my last post where I talked about the Blerch catching up to me, I figured it was a good time to get back outside and run. I’ve done a lot of research on running shoes lately (more than usual) because Asics went and ruined my favorite model (the Nimbus), and I’ve…

The Blerch is a Wretched, Lazy Beast. And He’s Winning.

Being a runner gives my life meaning. No, wait. Being a runner gave my life meaning. I know you think that sounds hyperbolic, melodramatic, and over-the-top…and you’re right. It is. But I was reading The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances for the upteenth time this weekend, and it made me realize that I have been letting the Blerch win. He’s dragged me down. He’s convinced me…

I miss being a runner

Runkeeper tells me that I became a runner on June 27, 2012 at 3:05pm. That was the very first run I tracked by GPS. I did 1.72 miles in 36:37, a pace of 21:18 per mile. That’s slower than I walk a mile now. But it was the first time I had succeeded at running, and I am still proud of that. Unfortunately, I have not felt as though I’ve succeeded at running in a very long time. I don’t think of it…

Meditation Mantra: Be Here

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4289″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]Recently, I’ve had a harder and harder time focusing while I meditate. I make sure to take time to sit every day, but it’s been pretty difficult to keep my focus on my meditation. I’ve followed my thoughts down the rabbit hole a lot and been unable to really come back to center. I thought maybe this would be a good…

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is so good it made me fat

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/kMlMqW0OYss” el_width=”60″ align=”center”][vc_column_text]Well, folks, I wasn’t around last week to podcast. That was partially because I was playing the new Legend of Zelda game. Breath of the Wild is just so good that I couldn’t stop playing it. Between work and Zelda, my time was pretty much taken completely up. And I honestly didn’t exercise…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4187″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]Austin Kleon said that the key to success as an artist was stealing. Really!
