Because Abigail Adams was right when she wrote this to her husband John on March 31, 1776: “I long to hear that you have declared an independency. And, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies […]
I feel a little weird about this one. A few weeks ago I mentioned to my Mom that I was thinking of running a race in Vietnam and she told me about a few friends of hers who died in the war there. It really gave me pause on top of my own mixed emotions […]
One of my favorite race organizations has undergone a pretty big transition. Mainly Marathons announced today they have been sold to a new operating duo. Clint and Hannelore Burleson, founders of this crazy multi-day race group, are “retiring” which means I gather that they’re not going to be running the operations of the races and […]
I can’t. That’s what I hear in my head. That’s what I hear when I talk. I just… can’t. Not today. And yet having stuffed my face with half a jar of peanut butter, drowning my sorrows and frustrations and regrets in the crunchy goodness of peanut-y, buttery goodness, more than ever do I need […]
Ughn. Ughn. UGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNnnnnnnnn. NOTE: Whoever uploaded the above misspelled “Frankenstein.” I don’t know if it was the whirlwind Atlanta trip to see Raiders: The Adaptation (totally worth it though). Or if it’s a lingering malaria malady. Or if it’s the restless hour or two of sleep on that lumpy Rodeway Inn mattress in Morrow, GA. […]
I took today off from running so I could drive up to Atlanta to see Eric Zala and his Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation on the big screen. I’ve long been a fan of his and the crew behind this shot-for-shot remake that took 25 years to make. It doesn’t often happen, but […]
The good folks over at Marathon Tours set up a shared google photos album for the Madagascar Marathon. Here then are some choice pics of me… there are heaps of great ones showing the landscape and the people and my fellow runners but this being a selfishly labeled Run Kevin Run blog, well, I’m only […]
For Halloween, I’m cruising through the new Panama Canal. Given my success with last year’s Sea Legs Marathon, I thought I’d try something similar. But as this is a sequel of sorts, I didn’t want it to be an equal… I wanted it to be bigger, badder, and well, more Panamax-ian! So I came up […]
Seeing Europe by planes, trains, buses, automobiles, and of course courtesy of my own two feet.
Having successfully registered for The Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo 31K Challenge, I now have secured my running “ensemble” for the race. One can only hope I look half as good as the male model on the packaging… Uhn, huh-huh! The French Man is Set To Run in September. Unfortunately, I speak French about as […]
