Unofficial Richmond Marathon
So, this past weekend, we (my wife Ally and I) decided to head to Richmond to run my long run. Several friends were taking part in the 8K, Half Marathon and Marathon, so it was a good excuse to provide some unexpected support for them and to log some solid miles for me. The trip [...]
2010 Marathon Corps Marathon: Finally, A New Personal Record
Main goal heading into yesterday’s race was to finally break the 2:51 marathon PR set way back in 2006 at the Thunder Road Marathon, Charlotte, NC. Next up was to duck into the 2:40-somethings (wouldn’t that be sweet?) with a super-stretch goal of somehow going as low as 2:46. Saturday was the usual sleep-in-a-little-late, enjoy [...]

One Month Later. What’s Been Happening?
The last time I posted something, I’d just completed a 26.2 mile training run. A lot has happened since then, but I guess the big news is that I have a real marathon to run this weekend in Richmond, VA. Before I share my race goal(s), I’ll attempt to *briefly* summarize the last four weeks. [...]
2010 Boston Marathon
Took the plunge today and signed up for the 2010 Boston Marathon! It will be my first Boston since 2000, so naturally I’m excited about the race and am keen to see how I will perform compared to 10 years ago when I faded somewhat to a 3:04:12. What a great experience though! It usually [...]
