The race was the Stratton Faxon Fairfield Half-Marathon in Fairfield, CT and it was the second time I’d run the race. Last year [...]

One week until the Fairfield Half-Marathon
Not only has the wedding planning and new house improvements distracted me from blogging, but it also caused me to forget (until very recently that is) that my second half-marathon for the year is next weekend! On June 27th I’ll be running the Stratton Faxon Fairfield Half-Marathon for the second time (ran it last year [...]

Ultra Half-Marathon Man
Okay, so maybe there’s nothing quite “ultra” about running 13.6 miles, but pretending I was doing something way above and beyond what I had ever done before helped me get through the run on Saturday…even if it was only 0.5 miles farther than my previous distance In case you’re too lazy (or have something better [...]

Race Report: 2010 Seaside Shuffle 5-miler (or 5.2 miler!)
On Saturday I ran the Seaside Shuffle 5-miler (click here for pictures) in Old Saybrook, CT, primarily as a warm-up for my upcoming half-marathon on May 2nd. I figured running a race of this distance would prevent me from trying to set some personal distance record and potentially hurting myself this past weekend, along with [...]

Longest run of the year
Saturday morning I hit the streets for my long run of the week, hoping to go eight miles or so. Wearing my Vibram Five Fingers Sprints (which have now surpassed my KSO’s as my favorite road running “shoes”) though, I got into an awesome groove and if necessary, could have definitely finished a half-marathon distance!
