I’m on my second round of antibiotics trying to kick this sinus infection/seemingly-never-ending-illness thing once and for all.  I haven’t been doing what I need to be doing to prep for my hoped for moonshot at Memorial Day… and I’m not sure I’ve even done what I need to do for the Colfax Marathon this […]

Thanks to my pal Brent for getting me into the Kessel Run.  

This is the 1,000th blog post for Run Kevin Run Dot Com. Long may I run.  Long may we all run.

The short, short version?  It was … ugly. By mile 11 I had mentally checked out and was going through the motions – right foot, left foot.  Right foot, left foot. By mile 15, my body checked out and my stride became shorter and shorter… then the walking started.  My legs felt like live turkeys […]

For the past week plus I’ve been sick. Debilitatingly sick. I haven’t run a single step since finishing the Kathmandu Urban Marathon. I’ve lumped it on my couch… and in my bed… and stuffed my face with whatever odds and ends I could find in my kitchen, calories and nutritional value be damned. Only yesterday […]

These appeared over on Facebook but they didn’t tag me correctly.  They spelled out my name, complete with the full middle name which I generally try to avoid having publicized.  Not sure why I’m so secretive or protective of that.  Who cares if people know I’m Kevin Sherlock Hanna? Just kidding.  It’s actually Kevin Sven […]

Thirty-two photos.  That’s how many MarathonFoto claims to have gotten of me along the 122nd Boston Marathon course.  One is definitely not me so it’s really 31. Of those, this may come closest to being a distillation of the experience, capturing the atmosphere, a moment that says, “Yeah… that’s Boston on April 16, 2018.”  You […]

What day is it?  What month is it?  What year is it?  I don’t know.  I’m in a fuzzy haze of cold medications, sinus infections, and dehydration.  The latter grew exponentially worse post-marathon without my even realizing it and is a prime example of how even when we THINK we know what we’re doing, we’re […]

The details are already vanishing into the shadows of the past.  This is why I try and write up things as soon as possible because I think the details are what makes it more interesting.  This could be a giant mistake as often I go too far in excruciatingly minute detail and that’s borderline unreadable.  […]

The Everest Express. It’s an hour round trip flight to see the Himalayas and specifically Mount Everest. Or such is the idea. A number of airlines seem to do it and our guide booked us on Yeti Air.  The wings and turbo propellers were mounted under the fuselage; I think I would have preferred the […]
