Completing a marathon competently, as … Continue reading 2022 Berlin Marathon

I'll sprinkle some of that info here along with my thoughts on the race, my race buildup and post-run things. The Boston Marathon, in its entirety, is a "cozy" event. Most of what a runner experiences (besides the eight … Continue reading 2022 Boston Marathon Weekend
This year's event was thankfully sponsored by Colavita again, which made for a great weekend of fun. The race was held on what I refer to as "the covid course" of two loops on A1A.
