Jon Hillenbrand’s “Run for your Life 5K” Jon Hillenbrand, August 2, 2015October 17, 2019 The culmination of a 12 week Couch to 5K running plan ends today. The training has been the most fun running I’ve ever done. It is a plan that I chose through Garmin Connect, the website that interfaces with my Garmin Fenix 3 watch and tracks my fitness. The plans were all created by a UK company called Full Potential. They base their plans on heart rate, time (instead of distance) recovery and a few other factors that you might not consider when running. It has made the workouts different every day and prevented me from getting injured. WHEN/WHERE: EVANSTON, IL – lakefront Sunday Aug 2nd, 2015 – 8:30am LIVE TRACK: You can follow Jon’s progress live on race day including getting information on his heart rate, pace, GPS location and other metrics.

I don’t wear suits to work, I wear cargo pants and roomy shirts so that I can slide across car hoods comfortably. My footwear enables me to chase down perps and run two or three steps up a vertical wall. That way I can grab… Read More
Photography Sweet as a field of grass June 13, 2007October 17, 2019 Life is Beautiful, but it’s complicated. I looked up the song title “Life is Beautiful” today at Barnes and Noble, and 60 entries came up with that as the song title! 60! It’s plagiarism gone amok! And, of course, the version by Vega4 wasn’t listed, which was the only version… Read More
Thanks to everyone who supported me! I had to walk twice when I got really cold (surprisingly) and I ran way faster than the pace I wanted to set (which caused me to walk), but I was able to finish at a running pace.
