    thehappyrunner.blogspot I have been meaning to make this announcement for a few weeks now but I was a bit distracted with the marathon and all of the catch up afterward. Life always seems to get in the way -- even when you have such exciting news! Yes, exciting news!! My news? Well, yay...

            thehappyrunner.blogspot 1. Post-marathon running is really going well. Two 3 milers earlier this week and then a great 5 miler this morning. I plan to go for an 8-10 mile run on Sunday. 2. The boys are getting into the action, too. We've been racing in the driveway and, I'm a little...

                justyouraveragejoggler Wow!  This is amazing.  Here’s the latest development in robotic juggling.  It’s a one-arm, two ball juggling robot. Interestingly, the robot goes with a circular juggling pattern rather than a column juggling pattern. I wonder how long it will be before they create a robot that can juggle better...

                    justyouraveragejoggler When I was working a regular job we had a gym with a small (1/4 mile) indoor track. Occasionally the treadmills would all be occupied so I would joggle around the track. The trickiest part…remembering how many laps I did.

                        justyouraveragejoggler When I first started joggling, there wasn’t much talk of speed. Just completing a distance like a 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon was impressive enough. It is still impressive to most everyone.  But since 2005 there has been an influx of super speedy jogglers. Tyler Wishau is one of them....
