Dark. Lonely. Altitude… And a killer up-hill at mile 11. Those were my initial impressions of the inaugural East Canyon Marathon in Morgan, UT. The race director was a it flustered at packet pickup, apologizing for the late start (he was all of three minutes past the time he said he’d have packets ready). This […]
I’m sick. A nasty head cold that seems to be getting worse not better. My teeth hurt in that sinus pressure kind of way. Hell, my hair follicles on my head hurt. I’m stuffy, sneezy, fought, achy, NyQuil is a lie sick. I told my Mom I was off to Ogden, Utah, for a marathon […]
TravellingFit sent out an email regarding new adventures and giving a few details of the recent Iceland “Run the World” reunion trip.
It all goes a bit too wonky and detailed for casual readers, delving into minutiae that even I find a little too much. But the Reykjavik Marathon tour posts are all up and indexed. You can access them via the TOURS link above or by clicking the link below. At some stage I’ll go in […]
August 21, 2016 – The Golden Circle and Back To Where We Started As our opt-in additional tour with TravellingFit, we had prebooked the Golden Circle tour. It was billed as “the” tour to do in Iceland. The following is based on my notes I tapped into my iPhone as it happened. It’s written and […]
August 20, 2016 – The Reykjavik Marathon and Culture Night Festival Dawn. Mom wears her Eddie the Eagle inspired, “I’m Kevin’s Mom” shirt and I’m in the official TravellingFit performance tee. For days we’ve been hearing Mari Mar’s promises that she has an inflatable kangaroo that will help mark the TF cheer spots and help […]
Kevin’s Note: I took notes and tapped out ideas and phrases as things were happening but got behind on the actual writing and collating of photos for certain days. The summary of our trip to the Blue Lagoon is unfortunately especially cursory. But I like to think this is because I was so relaxed from […]
August 18, 2016 – A Long Day Tour’s Journey Into Bright Light Night The tour started at 7:40 am. A quick breakfast at seven and then it was onto the bus for a projected 14-15 hour “Day Tour.” Spoiler Alert – We finally get back to the hotel at 12:23 am. So that’s almost 17 […]
Ugh. The heat index is supposedly 106 degrees. But I’ve gone out for a run to try and rollback a few of the calories I’ve overdone lately and as part of my patent pending “Shock and Awe” medicinal cure. I’ve got a scratchy, sore throat and general malaise feeling. I’m hoping it’s just cumulative jetlag […]
Kevin’s Note: I had written half of a post for today on my Delta flights home. But ultimately most of that should be jettisoned and used only for my complaint email to that airline. Instead, here’s a short-short version update: 3:45 AM — I wake up and realize I had set my 3:30 alarm for […]
