I wasn’t the only one who used McKinley High as the GPS input. Arriving at the school, a number of us saw this sandwich board telling us we were at the wrong place. A caravan of lost souls crossed town to the expo. They say they’ve had a registration explosion this year – 7000 runners […]
I’m going to try and do a three-quarter assed post tomorrow summarizing the internal dialogue that happened as I ran the Pro Football Hall of Fame Marathon today. I’m not sure which voice was the devil and which the angel of cartoon lore; perhaps real life is not so binary. But I think it’ll be […]
It’s 4:30 am. The Q70 bus should have been here by now. The bus after that bus should have been here by now as they’re supposed to come every 20 minutes. I’ve been standing here for 30. I made the decision to duck out of a delightful post show drinks and dinner chat to try […]
What a delight. Steve worked for the book writer on this multimedia musical epic and said we should check it out. It was a charming, inspiring, positive piece. In these times, to see a show that speaks to hope and courage in optimism and striving for more–it was kinda just what I needed. And given […]

Sometimes… well… A LOT of time… the running is just a means to go someplace and see some place. Today’s I’m in New York en route to Canton, OH, for their race. I’m meeting up with Steve and Alexis at some stage. It means a crazy hotel stay in a capsule hotel and a super […]
I think I pulled a muscle in my leg. I could tell somewhere in the Star Wars Half Marathon on Sunday that the back of my leg felt… off. Because I always seem to be making Star Wars references… even when I’m NOT running a Star Wars themed race… I guess you could say I […]
If you use the Disney mobile app, and ONLY if you use the mobile app, you can buy a ONE-DAY photo pass for $59. This allows you to download all of the the photos the Disney safari jacket wearing shutterbugs snap on that day. It’s an even better value on the multi-day if you’re in […]
Sometimes when driving from point to point, from race to race, from hither and yon, I personally need fuel as much as my car does. So into the land of fast food chains I ride. Most recently, I was thwarted at a number of places on my drive back from Carolina to Florida. Every exit […]
