Run A Dream In 4 Parts

The Last Half
Yesterday I headed down to Falmouth, MA to run my last half marathon of 2011. It was a classic cloudy cool fall morning and just how I like it. I arrived just over an hour early to pick up my bib and loosen up a bit from the hour drive. Unfortunately I found the bib pick up a bit more hectic than it should have been but still made it through the bathroom line and … Read entire article »

It’s day 6 … Read entire article »
A Week’s Difference

The 5th and last running of the Lone Gull 10K was last weekend. It was a fabulous race. Fun course. Beautiful town. Perfect weather. This trinity lead to a new 10K PR for me and I … Read entire article »
