Me:  Sitting in the chair after hygienist, “Nancy”, has cleaned my teeth.
Dentist: I hope I don’t catch Nancy’s cold.  It sounds pretty awful.
Me: !!!!!!

Last night I had speed work on the schedule but I skipped it.  I got home, it was raining, and I felt annoyed.  So I sat and ate far too much honeydew melon.  I was all set to get to bed early and then I remembered I had to sit on the board of review [...]

Egads, I’ve totally fallen apart about posting.  Missing chocolate friday for eternity.
Ok, I went running today.  I squeezed out 6.11 miles in 50:40 (8:18 pace), which would have been a 10K PR if I had run another .1 miles, even at a 10 minute pace.  My one and only 10K was less than a minute [...]

I’m still here.  Just busy.  Spend the weekend at the cape.  I got my 8 and 3 mile runs in on the Cape Cod Rail Trail.  I picked up the trail in West Dennis.  Lots of bikers.  Just one runner who tried to catch me but I ran too fast.  :)  Hearing her footsteps reminded [...]

Today (the day after the 5K) my legs feel really really good. There’s really no reason for it. Normally my legs would be crap today and I’d be hobbling, but I’m not. And this is a week after a 20K besides. As I recall, after the last marathon, my recovery [...]

I ran in the Bruegger’s Bagel Run this AM.  Its a 5K here in Albany.  The race was not so very large, but it was a good turnout just the same.  Like most races here, this was a certified race but no chips.  I’m not competing for a winning spot, so no loss for me [...]

This is not a meme.  Its just a small piece of philosophy that I’ve had for a long time.  I’m sure I’ve told it to people I know, so here it is in written form.
There are lots of things in your life that are important to keep you healthy and happy.  Some you can control [...]

I ran an easy 3 miles last night.  My calves were still feeling tight, but the run helped loosen them up, and this morning they are feeling pretty good.  I think I will be in good shape for Sunday.
I also discovered that I am losing a toenail, due to my cavalier attitude about preventative lubrication [...]

I had another good year at the New Haven Road Race.  I ran the 20K this year which I have not run since the first time I raced there.  Somehow I have either been training for something bigger, or just wasn’t up to the 20K.  But this year I trained specifically for it.
We had a [...]
