This was a post I put up on Facebook this afternoon after finishing the first day with Mainly Marathons’ Independence Series. It was great to be back running with the Mainly Marathon family today in Bear, DE. I once thought of these multi-day events like a summer camp caravan; today made me think it’s really […]
Bear, Delaware. That’s where I’m headed tomorrow morning around 4:15 AM. It’s about an hour drive and I need to check-in for my bib and maybe partake of a few of the Mainly Marathon PB&J sandwiches before the race. There’s something about somebody else making a PB&J for you that makes it particularly tasty. It’s […]
Steve and I went down into the city to meet John Garvey. He took us to this place because of the name (and the food wasn’t half bad either!): What can I say? I’m THAT guy, I guess. I’m that guy who runs marathons. I am Run Kevin Run Dot Com. There’s worse things to […]
Enter mariners, wet. It’s one of the greatest stage directions ever written. It is of course William Shakespeare and appears in “The Tempest.” An English teacher pointed it out to the class somewhere in my educational past and it has always stuck with me. I thought a great deal about that stage direction during today’s […]
Of late, my writing on here has been aimless and bland. It’s been a whole lot of whining, a whole lot of rambling, and not a whole lot of fun. I still don’t know what the focus is of this blog — is it just for me? Is it supposed to be for other people? […]
I’m packing up for a ten day trip to the Northeast. In the end, it’ll be six marathons in eight days but the real benefit is that I get to hang out with my brother for a bit. I’m doing last minute laundry and packing up as I type this. I just tossed in Steve’s […]
I think I was bitten not by a radioactive spider but instead attacked by some lethargic bug. It’s hard to even hold my head up and I keep drifting back to sleep whilst never feeling rested. I don’t feel awful; I just feel exhausted. It’s a weird sensation. I must be fighting some nasty, lazy […]
I find myself in a tableau of the Seven Deadly Sins. It’s a lot less graphic and dark than David Fincher’s movie but perhaps not less depressing. My body has just kinda slumped and collapsed. It’s not pain but sheer exhaustion. I can’t seem to keep my eyes open and everything, from my toes to […]
I believe it was John “Hannibal” Smith who famously said: “It’s always darkest before it goes completely black.” Indeed, a quick google search for “A-Team always darkest” yields the quotables page on imdb for the episode ‘The Rabbit Who Ate Las Vegas.’ I’m not running today. I said I wasn’t going to run, I was […]
Still ticked off about the finish line at Oklahoma City. Meanwhile, a few old business items on the agenda: I uploaded the photos on the weekend’s running posts, so the revised pages are “live.” I never know if I should more explicitly demarcate the revised pages or if it’s just sufficient to try and keep […]
