To be honest, I’ve been back from the honeymoon for over a week now and while things are going great on the married/house front , things on the running front have slowed a bit. Going into my wedding and honeymoon, my PT tendon had been a bit sore and I was hoping that over a [...]

Just signed up for my first marathon! (Amica Marathon – Newport, RI)
After a lot of talk about the Hartford Marathon as my first marathon, I made a knee-jerk decision to sign up for the Amica Marathon in Newport, RI this afternoon!

First marathon in the crosshairs
Is it just me or does 2010 seem to be flying by? It wasn’t that long ago that I updated my Race Schedule page with the Colchester Half-Marathon, a race I thought might be possible at the time, but now seems a bit too aggressive. For now the race will stay on the list just [...]

Abebe Bikila winning the 1960 Olympic marathon barefoot
