Kiteboarding In Puerto Plata

May 18, 2012 By Joel Runyon 21 Comments

Kiteboarding has been on my Impossible List for a long time. I tried it a few years back in Aruba - before my blogging days - but never got the hang of it and spent most of the time getting dragged around by a kite, involuntarily chugging salt water and living in constant fear of losing my board shorts. Ever since, I resolved that I would figure the sport out. This weekend I finally got that chnace. One of my housemates and I decided to go on a random ...

The Cute Butt Strategy: How To Run Your Fastest Race Ever

May 15, 2012 By Joel Runyon 19 Comments

Ever get stuck at a certain pace while racing? You see great progress over a few races and then you even out. You begin to start running the same times over and over and over again. You're stuck. You hit a lull in your progress. Some of it is physical – sure, you can only get so fast so quick, but some of it is mental as well. If you've ever run with a running group, you'll often see the same groups of people run with each other – even when on person ...

You suck at waiting. You might not, but you probably do.

And that's what most people think about waiting because with they confuse waiting with doing nothing. The biggest misconception about waiting is that waiting = doing nothing So ...

The Women’s Guide To Triathlon

May 7, 2012 By Joel Runyon 10 Comments

Today is the first ever guest blog post here at the Blog of Impossible Things. We don't do these often (read never), but today's post is special. As I went to put together Impossible TRI, I realized that I could speak a lot to triathlon from the men's side of the world, but there was still 50% of our audience that'd I'd be forgetting to address - all the women reading this who want to run a triathlon. So, while writing it, I asked Susan to step in on ...

Do What You Can, With What You Have, Where You Are

May 3, 2012 By Joel Runyon 21 Comments

A few days ago my left shift key broke. I have about 15 years of typing on a keyboard under my belt and it wouldn't seem like it, but it's it's hard as all get-out to keep typing at regular speed and actually stay as productive as I need to be without the left shift key (sorry, right shift key - you're just not as effective). It sounds like a small thing, but I spend at least 5-6 hours a day on a computer typing constantly. Whether it’s writing for the ...
