Tonight I am running a marathon. No, literally, I am running the Around the Lake Marathon tonight, starting at 7PM. If you are in the Wakefield, MA area this evening, please feel free to come out and cheer. I have never in the last 21 month of marathon running felt more unprepared. How unprepared am [...]

Molasses

Yesterday morning I went out for what the training schedule called a “dress rehearsal” run – 7 miles with 2 miles at Marathon Pace. As crappy and as sporadic as this training cycle has been, I’m not sure why I’ve continued to stick to some of the training program, but there it us. The temperature [...]
Too Radical

A couple of weeks ago, Dr. David Ludwig of Harvard Univerity suggested that morbidly obese children be removed from their parents custody because allowing these children to reach the sizes that they had was tantamount to child abuse. I’m going to let that sink in for a minute. Removal of a child from his or [...]

Instant Change
Posted in health, motivation, tagged health, motivation, posture, slouching on July 21, 2011 | 6 Comments »
Back in August last year I wrote a post on posture, essentially saying that simply changing you posture could give you an instant makeover. As I walked around a town I was vacationing in a couple of weeks ago I couldn’t help but wonder what has happened to America? I should probably call my dad [...]

This past weekend the family and I drove to Western Massachusetts; the week before we drove to Maine for a weekend of hanging with the Bushes in Kennebunkport (okay, so maybe we didn’t actually hang with the Bushes); two weeks before that Jess & I drove to White Plains, NY and back in one day [...]

Man in the Mirror

When I look in the mirror I do not initially see a 41-year-old man looking back at me. The man, er boy, staring back at me is still young. But as I lean closer to the mirror, the wrinkles become more apparent. The amount of salt on my unshaven face is ever growing. The gray [...]
I Remember
Posted in other, tagged autism, I remember, thoughts while running on July 5, 2011 | 43 Comments »
On Sunday I went out for what was supposed to be a 17 – 18 mile run. Aside from 2 factors, it ended up being one of the best runs I’ve had in recent memory. Factor One: I took a wrong turn mid-run that brought me back close to home a mile or two early. [...]
