I want to tell you the truth.  I have nothing to gain by telling you all this, just feel like sharing a bit.  At times, this need to share goes away and becomes somewhat muffled in the hustle and bustle of what we call everyday’s life.  But then I see […]

Ah, the good old days!  It wasn’t that long ago that as I stepped outside at 5 o’clock each morning, I was always the only one crazy enough to be out there, enjoying the solitude and the utter peace of the early hour.  Not so, not anymore – in the words of […]

This is probably one of the most amusing and entertaining things I’ve read about in the recent times, and of course as an avid advocate of anything related to real weight loss and cardio exercise, I couldn’t keep quiet much longer!  Let’s get right to it – The Caveman Diet! […]

How can you tell it’s going to be a blazing-hot day?  Easy – step outside at 5 AM and you will feel the fire!  Which is exactly what happened as I jumped outside this morning, hoping to get my run in before the sun came out and really did some […]

In my most recent display of utter insanity, this morning I actually woke up and headed directly outside – no getting dressed, no bathroom stops, do not pass GO, do not collect $200 – straight out!  Once outside, something told me that I wasn’t even properly dressed, or hardly dressed […]

Getting into a regular running routine is by far one of the best ways to stay in shape. After all, running on a regular basis is a wonderful form of cardiovascular exercise, which will not only keep you in shape, but will also improve your heart health in the process. […]

Running is considered as the one of the most effective cardio workouts by many people around the world. Millions of them follow running as a hobby to look good, feel good and lose weight. But, if you need to burn your belly fat, is running the right choice for you? […]

As I awakened at my regularly-insane early hour this morning, I suddenly recalled that today was in fact March 8th, also known as the Women’s Day in most corners of the civilized world.  I have always found it strange and even somewhat offensive that the women of the United States […]

I have to apologize to all of you in the most profound and sincere way possible.  It is not often that I am wrong…. but whenever I am – I am always man enough to quickly express my apologies and take the blame.  You know all that nonsense I have […]

I remember those times quite vividly.  I hated the night-time, if only because I knew that it would take a miracle for me to fall asleep.  I just couldn’t do it, no matter what.  I would go to bed around 11:30 PM, dead-tired, in desperate need of a long-night sleep; […]

I have to confess – it is quite rare that I experience sudden explosions of energy and power as I happened to discover this morning.  Most of the time, the exhausting weekly schedule takes such a taxing toll that the process of awakening never really ends… Not so this morning.  […]

As I promised earlier this week, let’s talk about the knees and let’s talk about the damage they sustain when they belong to a crazy 5 AM Runner, or any runner for that matter.  And what a perfect occasion to cover this topic – what I did to myself, and […]

As I was driving home earlier today, I wanted to write a quick post about my knees hurting like crazy, and how, despite the pain, I still strongly disagree with the doctors and other people who suggest that running is bad for your knees.  Hey, tell me something I don’t […]

We, runners, are perhaps one of the strangest species on the planet, to say the least. Is every runner out there as stubborn as I am?  It definitely seems to be the case.  For one thing, we don’t like to skip our scheduled running sessions – rain or shine, snow […]

I have received a lot of criticism as of late for constantly bringing attention to the amount of food I eat.  In particular, some people are unhappy with the fact that I eat cakes and other baked goods for breakfast (and sometimes for lunch as well), gobble up snacks like […]
