I just downloaded the official MarathonFoto pictures I had “pre-booked” for the Boston Marathon 2017. So long as you paid BEFORE the race, it was cheaper… the downside of course is that you don’t know how the photos will turn out. It’s a calculated risk… albeit they claim to offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. so […]
It will be a day long remembered. Hot and humid before the sun even came up… and then ever more hot and humid as the sun rose in the sky. There’s always this weird balance of impulses at runDisney themed events. At times the organizers want to set up a narrative throughline. And so the […]
The Tar Heel Ten Miler Double Down Challenge – An Update begun somewhere at a food pitstop on the drive back from Chapel Hill on April 22nd but not completed until after the Star Wars Half Marahton on April 23rd. As my good friend Harper pointed out, it’s a weird name for a challenge. You’d […]
After a ten hour-plus drive back from Chapel Hill, I need to try and grab a few hours sleep before making the jump to hyperspace and a corral far, far away. So here’s a finish line selfie and the rest of the photos and brief write up we’ll just say is “to be continued…”
Some go clubbing in the weekends; I go running. Tar Heel Double Down Challenge – 4 miles in under 40 minutes then a 10 miler Kessel Run and Coast to Coast runDisney Challenges – From Disneyland to DisneyWorld.
Running a marathon on Monday has really messed up my understanding of time and dates. It’s already Thursday?! That means I have to drive up to North Carolina tomorrow morning to pick up my Tar Heel 14-Miler Double Down Challenge packet. And then after that race on Saturday, I motor back to Florida for the […]
From start to finish, with a few stray comments thrown in for good measure. Before the Dawn: I headed out of Steve’s apartment and caught the metro to Boston Common. Runners apparently ride for free which was a nice bonus. I did notice though that a few folks I could tell were running but who […]
Fifty years ago today, on April 19, 1967, K. V. Switzer ran the Boston Marathon as number 261. She was the first officially registered woman who got a bib number to do the race… and her appearance on the course resulted in a series of photographs that were rightly hailed as changing the world. The […]
More to come tomorrow but for now I sleep the sleep of a Boston Marathon finisher. Special shout out to Steve, Alexis, and Meg who came out to celebrate with me at the Publick House here in Brookline, MA.
Tomorrow… I run. I’ve taken the last few days off, figuring I ran a double marathon weekend as my “taper” and I can afford a 72 hour break before tackling the Boston Marathon 2017. It’s been great catching up with my brother, albeit he’s struggling with a lingering flu and nasty hacking cough. Nonetheless, he’s […]
