In the last few weeks I’ve gone from 1 to 1 run/walk intervals to 5/1 intervals. Kristin signed us up for a 5K near Nashua NH on the 25th of July, and I am looking forward to it (more info to follow as we get closer). It’ll be our first race of what I hope will be many.

During these weeks I weighed the choice to buy a very unique set of shoes, read on below for the full scoop. I’ve also included my training schedule for the next month and a half.

More comics to come next week!

For the first time since high school I’ve begun to run. It hurts. At first.

What I’m coming to understand is the physical activity of running has hidden benefits and revelations. Being the journal comic prone cartoonist I am, I think keeping a cartoon runner’s journal would be an interesting thing for me to do and for you to read. While I don’t plan on doing them on post-it notes and poor-quality iPhone pics every week, I will try to keep it loose yet legible.

I know of one other comic in the world where a running journal has been employed: the masterful “Haunted”! If anyone else has suggestions of running comics I could read and…uh…”draw” inspiration from I’d love to hear about ‘em!
