A few months ago, I hastily registered for this marathon in the hopes of having an excuse to be in town to meet up with a woman I met from Portland. In the intervening months, we went on a disastrous date that would’ve made a hilariously awkward Hollywood romantic comedy of errors; unfortunately, as this […]

Post IronMan Allene immediately had to fly out for work. Pfffft. Work. Always getting in the way of life. Kathey had a few time owing holodsys to burn so we spent a few days tooling around Tennessee. While some of these already made ot over onto my RunKevinRunDotCom Instagram feed, here are some photos from […]

I was so worried I’d have problems getting to Kathey and Allene’s hotel what with road closures that I thought I better get there early. Assuming best case scenarios for us all, I reckon my marathon leg of the relay is a good 12 hours+ away. Turns out I didnt have any trouble getting to […]

When Kathey and Allene, two of my Easter Island Pals, asked me to run the marathon leg of an Ironman Relay, I thought it’d be fun. Turns out, I still think it’ll be fun, but I also think it’ll be bonkers.  Like really, really, ridiculously really bonkers.  And that’s coming from a crazed marathon guy.  […]

First thing’s first: I occasionally ran on a treadmill.  I hate treadmills. There.  Now that the unwritten rule of “run kevin run dot com” that says it’s all things running all the time has been addressed:

The Balade is held the day after the Medoc Marathon.  It is a recovery 10km walk (distances approximated… more on this below) followed by a catered lunch.  It features refillable wine bottles from a large wine cask. At the 2019 Balade, I hit a nadir by overdoing it… to the point that I need to […]

Like enjoying a bottle of wine, running the Medoc Marathon is better when shared, but you can still do it alone. Five years ago, I ran Medoc with my brother… and I really missed him out there today. It would’ve been great to clock the Ks while knocking back some glasses of wine. Plus, he’d […]

Thanks to the snarls due to Hurricane Dorian, a mad dash to Europe happened two days earlier than anticipated.  Turns out it was decidedly the right call as our original itinerary had us flying to JFK first… and i confirmed that flight was definitely cancelled. Besides, even with a panicked, stressful curve ball, there’s worse […]

I’m operating on about 17 minutes of sleep. Part of it was that a night marathon left endorphins and adrenaline coursing througg my veins after I finished the course. Part of it was also because my Murder AirBNB was on the wrong side of the tracks.  While the metaphorical meaning of being in a (more) […]
