Similar to yesterday, photos are being persnickety in uploading from my phone. I’ll add pics later but in the meantime… [REVISION NOTE: Most photos have been uploaded as of April 25, 2016] Let’s begin this post sorta in medias res, yes? I’m at the OKC airport waiting to board my flight, stewing. Rarely have I […]
We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please stand by. [REVISION NOTE: Most of the photos have been uploaded as of April 25, 2016] I can’t seem to get the photos to upload properly from my phone. Hopefully tonight I can find a decent WiFi connection and try again using my Surface. But in the meantime, text […]
Is it the unexpected death of Prince? Is it knowing my brother is bummed about that and various other losses of musical giants? Is it a lingering ankle tweak? Is it the bathroom scale that taunts me every day by creeping higher not lower? Whatever the reason, I’m in a moping funk. I skipped my […]
The other day I heard “Raspberry Beret” on the radio and was trying to remember Prince’s real name. I thought it was Victor something because I thought the the pieces of the symbol that Prince changed his name to during his “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince” days could be broken up and reformed to […]
I went for a run today. My ankle seemed okay until the last mile or two and then it… tweaked? Ached? Cried out? On the plus side, it wasn’t as if millions of voices cried out in terror and then were suddenly silenced. I mean, they’re still crying, ya know? So that’s a good thing? […]
My ankle is bugging me. Could it be that I’m old? That the mileage has taken a toll? That it might be time to (gasp) take a break from running? Gosh, I hate that feeling of not having run — it messes with my head and the lack of endorphins clearly indicates this whole running […]
In the summer of 2015, a race company opted to try something different. They opened an indiegogo campaign to crowdfund a marathon in their hometown of Destin, Florida. Within 40 days, they amassed $57,000, exceeding their target goal and became the World’s First Crowdfunded Marathon. The best summary I can give comes from their own […]
In 2012 I was lucky enough to run the Boston Marathon on behalf of Children’s Hospital. My partner was Christian Boyles who was awesome then and has only grown more amazing in the ensuing years. I had wonderful support from all across the land, including folks who came out to cheer me on during one […]
Yub nub! I ran today’s Star Wars Dark Side 10k as an Ewok. The revised runDisney costumes and weapons policy had me a little nervous about running with my spear but I figured if they were allowing plastic swords and lightsabers that I’d be ok… And I was fine. Nobody batted an eye at this […]
It is I, BB-8KSH. You may not recognize me with my mouse ears. But that’s how I roll when I’m at the inaugural Star Wars Dark Side 5K. It was a typically early morning for a runDisney event, albeit crowded earlier than even I expected given my mantra of “I should get there early… maybe […]
