Two weeks ago, I got three comments while running home from work.

Mike: family man, marathon man
DeKalb Avenue is off my typical run commute route, but the morning was foggy and DeKalb offers a wonderful view of the skyline’s sentinels huddled in their wooly blankets.

Noisy Backpacks
Do you mind the sound of keys jingling? No? I bet you would after you heard them make that noise over 5,000 times in 45 minutes. That’s how many times the loose keys in your backpack could make noise on a 45-minute run to work. How’s that for some early morning ear candy? Well, fellow [...]

Getting Started – Part 3: Gear and Transporting it to the Office
This is my favorite thing to write about! I’m always interested in trying out new gear to see how well it will work for run commuting and over the years, I’ve really fine-tuned what I carry into a nice, reliable system.

When cross-type commutes cross paths
Today was a bike commute day, as Lo-town and I are taking a birthday friend to dinner tonight. Run commuting is achievable with planning and timing, even in 90-degree Georgia heat; however, run commuting to a social engagement can be a boggy matter, especially in 90-degree Georgia heat.
