Just a quick side note — today they opened up registration for the Bali Marathon, the sixth leg of my personally created “Road To…” Series. I had some trouble getting through my credit card’s fraud early warning system but finally was able to pay for the entry fee. I’ve never paid 1.2 million for a […]
The rumor is I need to be at Boston Common by 6 AM to catch the bus out to Hopkinton for the 10 AM start of the 2017 Boston Marathon. That means, gulp, I need to hop on the Green Line, double gulp, at 5:21 AM. I’m mentally trying to figure out when the heck […]
Boston 2017.
I’m flying up to Beantown tomorrow so I’ll start posting 2017 Boston Marathon pics then. Today though – shots from the 2012 race. Five years. Man.
Five years ago I was running for Boston Children’s Hospital at the 116th Annual Boston Marathon. In a few days, I’ll be at the 121st Annual Boston Marathon expo, a little heavier and with a few more miles on the ol’ odometer.

I last ran there five years ago on a charity bib for Boston Children’s Hospital (and I really owe my patient partner […]
I’ve been here before… on the wings of a demon! I know I’ve used that misquote before for a runkevinrun post… maybe multiple times. It’s an indictment of my limitations and shortcomings as a writer that I recycle and reuse things. But that may be befitting for this phrase, a bastardization of a line from […]
It all comes rushing back now. My Tulsa based lawyer and running pal Jim said he thought the Hogeye Marathon course was boring… and I think he may have undersold it. To be fair, after the 40th anniversary race last year they moved the start out of Fayetteville and into Springdale, AR, so it’s a […]
The Boston Marathon is in 10 days. I suppose it’s time to taper… so I’m headed to Fayetteville, AR, for their Hogeye Marathon tomorrow. En route to pickup a rental car in Tulsa for the drive, I’m connecting via St Louis. Feel free to make your own arch comment. ZING! *** Tulsa. Ten years or […]
