I’ve spent the last six days or so in sunny Phoenix, which has lead to some great runs. I was lucky enough to be on a job that wasn’t as busy as some, and with some great people, so all in all, it was more conducive to training that I had any right to expect. I arrived… Read more »

I’m in Orlando, feeling guilty about missing yet another snow storm at home in New York. That being said, and expecting no sympathy from anyone at home, I should mention that it’s too freakin’ hot down here. Again, I can hear your groans. But it was 83° at 6pm today. Yesterday, it was even warmer…. Read more »

Well, this weekend started off GREAT. I set my alarm for 5:30am Saturday (Dear Diary: running sucks), got up, and it was like 38°, which is a freakin’ heatwave based on the winter we’ve had.

Lots of apparel, lots of shoes, but also a great staff of runners who seem to care deeply about the spot. I can’t recommend… Read more »

Very much a work in progress, but 16 weeks till Boston, more or less. This is what I’m thinking. It’s a blend of the McMillian plan I used last year with some stuff from Advanced Marathoning with some of my travel and races plugged in. I’m trying to do a tempo each week this year,… Read more »

I was at a dinner with a bunch of other runners the other night, and my friend Karen mentioned that it was only 18 weeks until Boston, and that her tried and true plan started at 18 weeks. I, of course, spit out whatever food was in my mouth, yelled “CRAP!” at the top of… Read more »

It’s pathetic how much this video made me laugh.

No really. Listen, I’m a sap. That being said, this is a nicely produced video.
