Just felt like stating the obvious, but it’s been VERY hot and humid these past few days in southeastern Connecticut. I went for a 5+ mile trail run on Monday at 9 AM and it already felt like I was running in the jungle. I’m hoping the temperature will drop a little bit, as I [...]

Race Report: 2010 Stratton Faxon Fairfield Half-Marathon
This past Sunday I ran my second half-marathon of the year and potentially my last race until A) my wedding later this month and B) the Amica Marathon in Newport in October! 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 [...]

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 [...]

Two days until the Seaside Shuffle!
A couple months ago my sister and I registered for the Seaside Shuffle 5-miler in Old Saybrook, CT, as a warm-up for the Shape Up RI half-marathon on May 2nd. Well, it seems the time has come to begin preparing for the race, with less than 48 hours between now and the start time! My [...]

Race Report: 2010 Leprechaun 5-Miler
Before I get into the race report, I just wanted to thank Mother Nature for holding off the bad weather until today and providing a spectacular day for a race yesterday (not to mention the entire week!) Anyways, yesterday I ran the Leprechaun 5-Miler road race at the surf club in Madison, CT, to raise money [...]

Race report: 2010 Mystic River Moon Run
Yesterday my fiancee, my brother, two of my sisters and I took part in the previously mentioned Mystic River Moon 3 mile run and it was a great time. When I first found out about this race, the original plan was for it to be my first barefoot race ever, but my PT tendon injury [...]

First official “race” quickly approaching: Mystic Moon River Run
While you wouldn’t know it from the weather we’ve been getting here in Connecticut, race season is right around the corner and the first official “race” on my schedule is the Mystic Moon River Run. I’m pretty sure the 3-miler will be a fun run and I’d love to do it barefoot if the weather [...]

Energy shots and goo packs
After buying the Nathan Speed 2 Waistpack for carrying fluids on longer runs, I happened to be at the mall and decided to pick up some goo/energy pack things to start testing out. I bought a couple different flavors to perform a taste test and see which of them helps (or hurts) the most. I’ll [...]

Great weather coming this weekend!
I have a Weather.com add-on for Firefox and just now I took a look and saw this awesome five day forecast… At least the chance of precipitation each day is less than 50%, but still, a chance of thunderstorms every day?!
