Left to right: Caroline, Pacer Dave, Maria, Wyatt, Doug Our weather was humid and 74 degrees at the start. a … Continue reading 2022 Space Coast Half Marathon
Getting my 6th unicorn medal from Patty The Patriot's Day weekend away was a tremendous experience. 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
Only two action shots from this year's photographer - they look similar... It was time to give this race a second try. I had (from covid cancellations) an entry and last year it was a good trip with friends. This year I came with Aaron, Maureen, Jackie and Judy. Aaron and I were scheduled to … Continue reading 2022 Two Rivers Half Marathon
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. This route was the substitute used last year when bus transportation and a crowded start area was to be avoided. … Continue reading 2022 A1A Marathon

I was interviewed … Continue reading 2021 Garden of Life Palm Beaches Marathon

I'll remember this as the "baby" Boston Marathon. The preparation for this one happened throughout our summer. And this … Continue reading 2021 Boston Marathon
8 mi. Today was a return to the Blue Heron Bridge. It wasn’t by design, but I seem to have positioned three challenging hill workouts all in the same week. Two days ago our group went to Jensen Beach. We have a 4 mile route on Skyline Drive that includes rolling hills and one steep … Continue reading Working up and up.
18 miles. It's me. I am the one. I used to get a good laugh out of running with my friends that sweat too much. I mean REALLY sweat, like leaving wet footprints behind on dry pavement behind you kind of sweating. That's me now. I don't know how or why this summer became the … Continue reading Summer of Sloshing
