Jonathan Franzone “Oh, and guess what your son said at school today?” That can’t be good. This has been an odd week at the Franzone house. Our children attend a private Christian academy here in Pensacola, FL and my wife on very rare occasion will substitute teach. I say very rare because we have a baby at …
In my previous runner’s log entry I talked about stopping short on my distance training. I was quite upset with this and went back to the drawing board a.k.a the internet. I found quite a few training programs for marathons and half marathons, which I am definitely NOT up to yet. The one thing I …
So I saved the best for last. You can now plainly see why I made some of my previous choices in the product lineup. Some of them… no pretty much all of them were selected to match this particular item: the Nike + iPod Sport Kit. Of course the headphones will really go with any …
Any Seinfeld fans out there? Well, I loved the show… actually I still love the show. Do you remember the show (Season 6 Episode 21 – The Fusilli Jerry) where George’s parents separate and Kramer is driving Estelle home from having her eye surgery and performs the “stop short” maneuver after hitting a pothole?

“There wasn’t even anyone in front of him!” she fumed as we passed the black dually pickup truck. There was one guy driving the truck which was loaded with a bunch of various boards, ladders, buckets and other things that would indicate that this may be a working man. Yet this was not the first …
I’m rounding the corner and I can see it. It’s the two mile marker up ahead. It’s also the point at which I start the second lap in my run. Everything about today, however does not feel good. I do NOT want to keep running. Every fiber in my being wants to give up. I …
In my last product review I talked about my latest running accessory, the iPod nano. I have to tell you it has been an absolute pleasure and motivator. “But Jonathan,” you ask, “don’t you look silly carrying an iPod nano in your hand running down the road?” Of course not! That’s because my iPod nano …
Sorry there has been a lag in my post frequency guys. Work has kind of gotten in the way this week and well… the lights don’t keep themselves on. I only ran three times this week, but I bumped my distance up to four miles per run! So my overall distance is about the same. …
