  • Hello Internet

    Hello internet, it’s been a while. As the New Year approaches I’ve been reviewing my year in running and planning the year ahead. I figured I’d try to articulate what I accomplished this year and what I hope to accomplish next year in a series of posts. This is probably all dullsville to you, but…

    Friday Inspiration: Pre

    Awesome vintage footage of running legend Steve Prefontaine. Love Pre’s aggression in his running… he died far too young.

    Race Autopsy: The 2010 Vermont City Marathon

    The synopsis If for some unknown reason you don’t want to read seven hundred words on my running of the Vermont City Marathon here it is in a sentence. I ran VCM in 4:27:16 smashing my previous marathon PR of 5:45. The Lead Up Ah Vermont, the land of Ben and Jerry’s, beautiful vistas and…

    Some thoughts on Barefoot Running

    Note: Originally written long ago, for another blog. Put here, largely unedited, for posterity’s sake.  Since barefoot running  is something that seems to be of major interest to lots of people in the running community, and is something I have thought a fair bit about myself, that I would write another post on the issue.

    Update

    Training Totals 7.4.2010

    RECAP: Wow, what a week. The first part of it was a whirlwind of work and other commitments as I tried to get everything set before I went to Cape Cod for the Fourth of July. The second half was all running, drinking beer and laying on the beach. I haven’t had a vacation in…

    Training Totals 6.27.2010

    RECAP: Another week of running disappointment. Again, I started off strong and ended weak. I am getting in really good runs during the week when all I have to do is work and run, but the weekends, which have been a series of massive social commitments have foiled my plans to return to a decent…

    Friday Inspiration

    This weekend the marquee ultra running event Western States is happening in California. One hundred miles through the Sierra Nevadas. Gorgeous. Hard. Legendary. Someday, I’d love to run this thing, but for now, I’ll just have to settle for watching youtube videos.

    Training Totals 6.20.2010

    RECAP: This week started off well enough and then fizzled in the face of massive scheduling conflicts and hotter than hell weather. On the plus side, I have really been extending my weekday runs, which is going well. Many days this week I got in more than six miles, and on Wednesday I really started…
