AM: Terrible. PM: Not much better.

My mom and I were chatting yesterday and apropos of nothing she asked me where my race was this weekend. It wasn’t a question of IF there was a race this weekend; it was only WHERE the race was. Now I’ve become Marathoner, the destroyer of weekends. I just got sent a pop-up reminder that […]

Courtesy of Japanese Air Mail, I received my Finisher’s Certificate from the 2017 Tokyo Marathon… along with the Infographic I neglected to pickup before leaving the country.  The latter summarizes the event in convenient USA Today-lower-left-hand-corner styled nuggets o’ info in graphic form (i.e. an infographic… man, I’m really struggling with words given my ongoing […]

Here’s what the Artificial Intelligence Rock Bot sent me as a finisher’s certificate for yesterday’s event: Apparently, there were 797 marathoners out on the streets of Raleigh. I clicked on the Half Marathon winner’s stats just to see how many runners they had: 3,867. Because there was an affiliated race weekend 5K on Saturday, I […]

In the end, the ankle endured. While it was ok, the rest of my body, particularly the legs, compensated for my favoring the ankle and now hurt kinda like the Dickens. That is to say, with equal parts of wonder, poetry, and long-windedness partly ascribable to payment by the word. I was stubborn Sunday morning […]

I’ll post some photos from today’s Raleigh Rock n Roll Marathon tomorrow. In the meantime, my ankle held up well but the rest of my body, in trying to compensate for babying the ankle, hurts like hell. But shifting pain is a plus, right? As for a Boston Qualifying time:

Last night during half time, say around 10:15?pm, Caroline asked me what time the marathon started. I told her it started at 7 am but because of road closures they wanted us parked no later than 5:30 am. Doing the math, I suspected I needed to get up at 4 to get set and make […]

It wasn’t pretty and was a down to the wire game culminating in a series of terrible free throws. But UNC won their Final Three game tonight (as Gonzaga won moments before the Heels tip-off). As a result, my alarm is set for 4 am to make the drive out to Raleigh. Befittingly, I’ll decide […]

GEICO just sent me my Gecko photo from the expo yesterday. So it took them 24 hours to get a digital photo emailed to me? Is that an indication of how quickly they’d respond to an insurance claim?

I have been inundated with presumably spam submitted through the runkevinrun contact form. Unless of course any of these people are real.  The names are as submitted and mostly feel like they came out of a random character lost generated by a Hollywood screenwriter toiling on a Ukranian DTV Steven Seagal flick. Name: Maglia Lazio Email: […]
