I got a text from my buddy Jeremy B last night that “we four made the cover picture for the vt50 in ultrarunning magazine!!” He was kind enough to send me a phoneshot of the picture. I couldn’t not share! Have a great day everyone!

Some things, some opportunities only come around once in a lifetime – an opportunity to travel to a far off land; a chance to go all the way to South Africa to run Comrades; an intimate moment with J. Lo…oh, wait a minute, that’s fantasy, not opportunity. Sorry. Anyway, as I was saying, sometimes the [...]

As a blogger (did I just call myself that? Really? I’m a blogger?), ahem, as a blogger, I often find myself writing posts in my head long before I can get to my laptop. Sometimes it is right after an event, sometimes it’s even during an event; heck, sometimes, in anticipation of how things might [...]
Choices

Run or blog…run or blog…run or blog… …today I choose to run. Why do you run? …but I guess I just kinda did both.
I Am

There are all kinds of different reasons to run – health, sanity, competition, escape… One of the reason I run is because I am a stay-at-home dad. No, I don’t run a business from home. I am not a dad who lost his job and is temporarily at home. No. I am a homemaker, I [...]
NYCM 2011 – An iPhone’s Eye View

For the first time running a race, I decided to carry my phone in my hand. Usually I wear it on my arm so I can listen to music, but this time around, I decided I wanted the ability to snap photos and video on short notice. I am still processing Sunday’s 32.6 mile run, [...]
Nerves

26.2 miles. It should make a person nervous. No, seriously. It’s not a distance to take lightly – whether it’s your first, your eighth or your fiftieth. I have always been nervous going into a marathon. Truth is though, I’ve got nothing this time around. Oh, I’m sure I will have a rush of “nervous [...]
Labels

Sometimes people see only what they want to see, unable to see beyond their narrow, pre-conceived notions. As a species, we like to label things – it makes it easier for us when we can say that, “this is this and that is that.” We (Jess, Katie, Brooke and I) are a family greatly affected [...]

Running is/isn’t easy. Running a 5K is/isn’t easy. Running a marathon is/isn’t easy. *** Over the last three years I’ve made many friends in the running community – runners of all shapes and sizes, skills and experience. Physically, for some, running is a natural gift; for others, it is a concerted daily effort. For some, [...]
Planning to Run my Slowest…
Posted in New York City Marathon, tagged fun run, ING New York City Marathon, running on November 2, 2011 | 12 Comments »
4 days until the New York City Marathon, and I am lucky enough to be running it. Every marathon I’ve run has had a unique quality to it, but New York is something special. Unlike THE marathon (Boston, duh!) which is pretty homogenous, New York is an adventure through a variety of cultures and neighborhoods. [...]
