Hitting the wall in Osaka

Japanese half-marathon record-holder Kayoko Fukushi made her marathon debut in Osaka last weekend. She started out at sub-2:20 pace, and here's how it ended up.

This is pretty much what I looked like at the end of my first joggling marathon.

Here's an interesting analysis of her pacing freefall.

Seven-ball juggling

My wife and I joined a gym, and after my running and strength training workout, I always do into the exercise room with high ceilings to do some juggling. The other day I finally qualified seven balls, with a run of 14 near-perfect tosses. Pure magic.

I've done a bit of joggling here and there, just to keep my chops up, but mostly it's just been plain old running.

BBC Radio 2 interview

Tune into Chris Evans's show on BBC Radio 2 this Friday at 6:45 p.m. U.K. time (1:45 p.m. EST) to hear me pitch the sport of joggling to millions of potential British jogglers.

Stride Gum campaign

Stride Gum is launching in Canada, and the campaign revolves around asking people to tell them what they do while they chew the gum. The opening sentence of this story from Media In Canada appears to be directed at me.

Anthony Gatto backstage at Cirque

Now that I see this, I think Anthony Gatto could run a decent 100m joggling race with nine balls.

New Sport Juggling Co. site

Sport Juggling Co. redesigned their site with photos of some of their sponsored jugglers, including this shot of the embroidered "Joggler" beanbags.

Six-ball Mills Mess

Here I am thinking that my Mills Mess and my 3-up 360s are coming along well, then I see this video. Unreal.
