Officer Thorny: Do you know how fast you were going back there? College Boy 1: Umm…65? Officer Thorny: …63. College Boy 1: But…isn’t the speed limit 65? Officer Thorny: Yes, it is.

“Yes, I Can”

I have a friend, let’s call her K, who I have been encouraging to take up running for over a year now. She’s inching closer. Last year she got the equipment (shoes and clothing). This past summer she went out on a couple of short runs. There have been starts and stops. Currently she is [...]
Saucony Kinvara – Product Review

You really couldn’t miss them could you? After seeing the pictures in my race report of the Smuttynose Marathon, many people asked me what I had done with my VFF’s (Vibram Five Fingers). You couldn’t miss the fact that I was wearing the bright radioactive orange Saucony Kinvaras for the marathon. Rest assured, I still [...]
What now?

So it’s finally sinking in. I did it. Almost 2 years ago I started running. Shortly thereafter I had the audacity to think I could qualify for Boston. A little under a year ago, my first shot ended in a Frankenstein’s Monster walk (3:54). Next came the surprise of Boston 2010 as an invitational runner [...]

I think that BOS marathon registration just BQ’d…8h is a reasonable time for a 114 year old, right? -Tweet by @petfxr Only if the marathon is female.

Conflicted

New York is still just under 3 weeks away. Before running Smuttynose, I had told myself that if I had the good fortune of qualifying for Boston, my approach to New York would be that of a fun run, a celebration, a victory lap. I was going to soak in every mile of the New [...]
Blue in New York

Okay friends, New York is less than 4 weeks away. When I first put it out there that I needed to raise $2600 to run the New York Marathon for Autism Speaks, you put me there in less than 4 weeks. I was amazed and humbled how quickly my circle of friends rallied around to [...]
Chicago Marathon 2010

I need an ice bath. It has been a long, long day! The temperature started out nicely for the Chicago Marathon, but they quickly rose to unbearable levels, reminiscent of my late miles at Providence. By the time I was done, I was exhausted. Chicago definitely took a lot of energy out of me. What’s [...]

The are runners, there are marathoners and then there are Boston Qualifiers -Spirit of the Marathon “Uh oh!” -Me at about 24.5 miles All week I had been uncharacteristically unnervous. It may have been the fact that this was going to be my 4th marathon in less than 12 months or maybe it was the [...]
