Looking at my Forerunner data, I can clearly see that I didn’t stop the Forerunner at the finish. I pressed something because there is a tiny pause symbol right there (hidden in this pic). I must have hit the lap button and not the stop button. You can see where I finished and then stumbled [...]

Thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts and words. I appreciate the support. :) I’ve had alot going on since my last post. The writing is going well. I’ve had the plot change around dramatically, which is good I guess. I’ve had a hard time letting go of an opening chapter that I really [...]

I ran the 5K tonight in Albany. I really did not want to go. Aside from being horribly out of shape, some things happened today that put me in a really foul mood. But I changed my clothes and went anyway. It was in the low 30′s, so I wore my running pants and a [...]

I just got back from running in the Stockade-athon 15K this morning. Let me say it was damn cold at the start. 31F or something like that. I was frozen. I sat in the car until the last possible minute, and then whipped off the running pants to run in shorts. I kept my running [...]

Today is a rest day in my recovery schedule. Its almost as tough as tapering. I want to go running today. Registration for Boston is closed already. I know lots of folks who ended up registering this year. Seems like they are all over the place. Had to fight the cranky green monster inside me [...]

I’m still trying to figure out what to say about the marathon. It wasn’t what I had hoped for but the net result was faster than anything I ran before. I have so much to say and haven’t got the words to say it all well, especially when trying to write it. I’m just going [...]

One month later in the year than the New Haven Road Race. One would expect cooler weather for a race in October. One might expect lower humidity. What do I get? The same.damn.weather. I was hoping I would get cooler weather to help with my time, but no such luck. :(

I had a good time at the New Haven Road Race this year. Unlike last year when I crashed and burned. I can’t believe its been a while year since that. Not such crashing and burning this year. I met up with Bill (and Melissa), Dianna, and Danny in front of the church on the [...]

Today’s race was a really humid one. Yahoo Weather said it was 100% and 75F, and I believe it. I did some warm up jogs and short sprints before the race, and was already sweating by the time we were standing near the starting line. Speaking of the starting line, I find it kind of [...]

Sunday I ran in the Celebrate Life Half Marathon in Rock Hill, NY. The weather was predicting awful things for us, but most of it came through during the night before. We stayed at the Lodge Motel in town (race headquarters) the night before to avoid the 2.5 hour drive in the morning. The rain [...]
