If you can close your eyes and see the person you want to be, you can be it. That was one of my posts the other day on Twitter and Facebook. It came to me after watching two inspirational videos about two gentlemen who transformed themselves over the course of a year. I hash-tagged my [...]

Tomorrow is April 1st. It is the first day of Autism Awareness Month. On Monday, World Autism Awareness Day, hundreds of landmarks and millions of homes, including our own, will be lit up blue.

Stay the course… Don’t change horses midstream… Dance with the one that brought you… *** On October 3rd, 2010, I ran the fastest 26.2 miles of my life. My 3:19:19 at the Smuttynose Marathon qualified me for Boston 2011 and at least got me in the registration door for Boston 2012 (though ultimately I fell [...]
Spark

On Saturday afternoon, after getting the refrigerator working again and half fixing a half-broken washing machine, I finally got out for a run. The temperatures were in the low 40′s but the 20 to 40 mph winds were making it feel much, much colder. Over the course of 8 miles I felt like I was [...]

Eck. Mariano. Pap. …Luau. That could’ve been me on that list if only my father had put a baseball in my hands when I was little. I’m not particularly gifted athletically, but being left-handed, all I really had to do was get the ball over the plate and I’m sure I could’ve been a major [...]
Priorities

At this time last year I was nervously laughing at my friend Doug, who was trying to convince me to follow through on a promise to run the Vermont 50 with him. I had made that promise during a moment of idiocy, immediately regretting my words the moment they flew out of my mouth. There [...]

Last Saturday I had the honor of attending the Boston Autism Speaks Walk Awards Dinner. It was an evening filled with inspiration and hope. While there I spent some time talking with Erica Giunta, head of the Massachusetts chapter of Autism Speaks. She was excited to tell me that Autism Speaks and the 13.1 Marathon [...]
Super Sunday 5

My very first road race was the SuperSunday 5K/10K – all the way back in 2009. I had no idea what I was doing and it showed. I entered the 10K and finished in a respectable 46:58. The following year I entered it again (again in the 10K) and ran what was probably my best [...]

4:10 AM – the alarm on my phone goes off – a mix of a loud snoring sound and the phone vibrating on my nightstand. 4:10 AM. Ugh. Am I really gonna do this? Do I really WANT to do this? 10 miles? Really? It’s 30° outside. It’s cold. It’s dark. I could just hit [...]
