Merry Shoe-mas from all of us** at RunKevinRun.Com! It’s a (lopsided) shoe tree! With a Garmin top! ** “All of us” being, well, “me.” It’s a small staff here. A staff of one. But it doesn’t make the sentiment any less potent. Season’s Greetings!
I posted this as a profile picture on Facebook to replace the not-entirely-successful Charlie Brown holiday photo. Despite researching the image sizing of the profile photo and exporting it to those specs, Facebook STILL cropped off part of it. Sigh. In any case, whilst others have visions of sugar plums dancing in their head, I’m […]
Crumbs. It’s the holidays so there’s a lot of Happy Holiday marketing emails from past races to alumni offering reminders of registration dates. Today, the Myrtle Beach Marathon sent me one touting an impending rate increase and telling runners it will be the 20th anniversary of the running… which I know is a lie. Way […]
I’m trying a scientific approach to the whole sleepless nights thing. As an early Christmas present, my Mom bought me an iHome Zenergy Bedside Sleep Therapy Machine. I’m not sure it’s proving itself empirically but we’ll take a wait and see approach. It does create a nice 1960s lava lamp mood lighting effect in my […]
I ran the Tar Heel Ten Miler earlier this year and quickly re-upped for 2017 as an alumnus. Today, the organizers announced an added challenge of running the 4 miler first. The kicker is one has to be back in under 40 minutes in order to get right back in line for the 10 miler. […]
The good people at the Kauai Marathon sent me a holiday gift discount code for $20 off if I register before Christmas. When I clicked on the link, they offer registration for runners aged 16-99. So I guess o won’t be doing this when I’m 100.
There’s an internet meme from a while back: Zeddie Little was dubbed by the ‘netizens as “Mr. Ridiculously Photogenic Guy.” He’s assuredly a guy who takes a good running photo – so good in fact he went viral. But this isn’t a post about that guy. It’s all about me. Because, ya know, I’m a […]
A few life lessons from the road, and specifically from the Hot Chocolate 15K in Tampa: There is nothing more terrifying than a clown… except possibly a clown with a megaphone. Or maybe two clowns with a smartphone. A cardboard “M” will not last in super humid conditions, and probably wouldn’t last even in normal […]
While looking at these photos, you should have this playing in the background: So I decided that if I can’t beat ’em, if I can’t eat ’em, I might as well make ’em. So here’s my DIY-M costume for the Tampa Hot Chocolate 15K tomorrow: And wouldn’t you know it? After cutting up the mailing […]
There’s a moment in Steven Seagal’s directorial debut “On Deadly Ground” (1994). Our ex-company man now oil rig firefighter is in a bar and gets confronted by a bullying patron. Seagal proceeds to beat the crap out of “that guy,” one of those classic character actors that we all know but never know his name. […]
