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 […]
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.
