I drove up to SF at 4 am this morning for tomorrow’s 40th Anniversary San Francisco Marathon. More often these days in encountering tough traffic wherever I go; sometimes it’s tempting to just get out of my car and run to where I need to be… it would take only a few minutes longer and be […]
Sigh. At least I got out the door… but my ankle is twitchy, my pace is off, and I’m … worried. San Francisco on Sunday will be a good trial run. At least I HOPE it will be a good trial run.
That’s enough “running” related stuff for one day. I’m headed back to bed. Zero miles yet again. But at least I fill in all my form [sic… and sick].
Ugh. I’m pretty sure I’ve been bitten by a bug. Not a radioactive bug that granted me powers to spin a web any size, to catch thieves just like flies. No, this is a bug who had either narcolepsy or mono or maybe was told by his bug guidance counselor that he lacked motivation and […]
A really great guy I met while running in Antarctica in 2016 put together a reunion tour of sorts for folks to run the Mount Everest Marathon this year. He does it for charity to support the Nepal village he was working at during the huge and hugely devastating Nepal Earthquake of April 2015. For […]
The pro photographer for Rockin’ the Beach snapped a decent-ish shot of me on Saturday. I’m still not buying as really how many shots of me running do I really need? But here’s the watermarked version: One of the folks working the check-in/aid station at Cruise the Marina was good enough to snap some photos […]
As part of my Charlie Alewine Marathon Trifecta, I wound up back where I first ran with them in 2016: The Long Beach Marina. Whereas that day in May ’16 I clocked a 3:31:29, today in July ’17 I ran a dispiriting 4:00:43. It was six loops and I just never seemed to find an […]
July 15, 2017 – Rockin’ The Beach Marathon Same course, different day, worst time. Back on the California Coastal Trail, running the same route as last week’s blast, I arrived in Long Beach with enough time to start with other early birds. Running the four quarters yet again, I did… poorly. The opening loop was […]
In the mid aughts of the 21st Century, my brother and I were pretty big fans of the current zeitgeistian show Deadwood. Somewhere along the way we found out there was a Deadwood Marathon and, well, one thing led to another… The race was one of the toughest I’ve ever done. It was 13.1 miles […]
A long time ago, in an internet galaxy far, far away I wasn’t blogging on a daily basis. But I would occasionally scribble down notes and try and send out email missives to family and friends. Those chicken scratches were the forerunners of Run Kevin Run Dot Com. It being Thursday, a day that for […]
