I remember way back in high school when I would get up in the mornings before a big test – I’d be a little nervous, wondering if I had studied what I had needed to, wondering if I’d remember anything… …that’s how I felt two Sundays ago when I woke up before the Quincy Half [...]

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 [...]

If you don’t follow politics at all, you may not know who Tim Pawlenty is. He is a former governor of the state of Minnesota who decided to run for President. He was part of the large field of Republican candidates who were vying for their party’s nomination. Last summer, after finishing a distant 3rd [...]

October 2009 – Manchester, NH. I am running my first marathon. I have aspirations of qualifying for Boston in my first marathon. How cool would that be? Of course, I’ve only been running for a little over 11 months now. My training has been haphazard, AND I’ve had to lay off the miles in the [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
So you want to run a marathon?

My brother-in-law, RB, emailed me a few days ago. He had decided that this was the year he was going to scratch “Run a Marathon” off of the bucket list. He came to me looking for a little advice on the how and what to do over the next several months. I essentially wrote back [...]
Here I Go Again…

…and so it begins. Today I ran 8 miles followed up by some strides. I followed my heart and ran happy. The only real significance of the run is that it was the first scheduled run for this new training cycle. On Friday I officially signed up for the Around the Lake Marathon. Today I [...]
Complement

com·ple·ment/ˈkämpləmənt/ Noun:A thing that completes or brings to perfection. Verb:Add to (something) in a way that enhances or improves it; make perfect. *** It’s time to complement – not to be confused with compliment. No, though I’m sure I could write 1000′s of words complimenting all of you, today the topic is complement. *** With [...]

To GU or not to GU, that is the question… Whether ’tis nobler to hit the wall or take on possible stomach issues That is the thought that ran through my mind for nearly 13 miles of my run on Sunday. I have been a little gun-shy of ingesting anything other than liquid refreshment during [...]
