I know I blogged yesterday but believe it or not I’m back today too. *waves smelling salts in front of blog reading buddies* First I’d like to point out that I’ve changed the ticker on the right sidebar to my next big race. As promised, I’m invading HZ’s hometown (I know, I know, there goes […]
Introducing the 35th anniversary Marine Corps Marathon medal along with the front of the race shirt. Best race shirt EVER by the way, I’ll take better pictures of it later because it really deserves to be cataloged. I have to say there are very few things in this world more extraordinary then starting a race […]

Pretty cool huh? I know it’s a cruddy cellphone picture but you can’t argue with: or even The top medal is the 5th Anniversary medal of the Disneyland half marathon. The bottom medal rack filled with Coast to Coast medals for people who have done at least one race at Walt Disney World (half marathon […]
According to my race ticker I’m 2 months and 4 days away from the Marine Corps Marathon. Two years ago the idea of doing a 1 miler was crazy to me and here I’m about to go 26.2. I still haven’t fully wrapped my mind around that one but I’m thinking the plane ride to […]
Women and funny creatures. No matter what we have we’re not happy with it until years later when we decide our hair/bodies/teeth/etc. were just fine and we should have appreciated them more before they changed. A friend of mine posted this on Facebook today. Apparently it’s several years old but I’d never seen it before. […]
Funny people, runners. No matter where they start they always want more. Even the slow ones like me. For half marathoners it’s the marathon. For marathoners it’s a BQ. For BQers it’s another BQ or an ultra. And somewhere in the middle of all that are the people who decide one sport isn’t enough and […]
Want to know where I was Sunday, May 30th? Lets try this word association-style. OJ Simpson White Bronco … Why YES! I was in Brentwood, California whose residents have spent the last 16 years rolling in wealth and trying to live down their notorious former neighbor. (It has been 16 years how scary is that?) For […]
Today I spent an hour and some change watching the Lakers play the Celtics at the gym. I’d gone there with the intention of doing four miles (maybe six) and walked in during the 3rd quarter of the game. Now, the fact that I didn’t know the Lakers were playing tonight should probably tell you […]
I promised awhile ago that I would post my training calendar. It’s basically Hal Higdon’s Novice Supreme Marathon Training Schedule. I had to modify it slightly (mostly I shortened it) to fit my schedule. You can find mine HERE. Please note it’s an Excel spreadsheet that downloads. This way you can grab it and tailor it to you if you […]
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. -Robert Frost I just completed my first double race weekend. I did a 5K on Sunday and a half marathon on Monday. I was mostly untrained. It was […]
