Preparation H

Today is the longest run before the marathon. Route will be nearly the same as last week. I’ll go over the Brooklyn Bridge and touch the park at the Manhattan side. Then I’ll head to Prospect Park, do one and a quarter loop and head home. After this, I [...]

I’m a little late getting out this morning. Know why? Cause I stayed up watching hurricane coverage. I love love LOVE hurricane coverage. What’s to love? I love seeing the correspondents standing (or trying to stand) in 85 mph winds while getting pelted with rain which at that [...]

I have two main foot problems. First, my feet seem to be sweating more than I remember them sweating in the past. My Nike socks are sopping wet when I’m done with even a moderate run. Second, if I don’t keep the nail on my middle toe (on my right foot) trimmed [...]

Yesterday, Lar and I were walking to the toy store to get a gift for a friend’s son, and we got to talking about parallel dimensions. Some parts of string theory suggest that there may be 11, some say as many as 26. Basically that means that there could be multiple Kevin’s and [...]

…, you’ll want to run a marathon.
Check this out. Only 5 and a half minutes long. Contains some swearing, but it’s otherwise safe for work.

Just found this draft that I started last week and never finished. Updated entry to come.

I have to admit I didn’t eat well on vacation last week.   Is a blueberry muffin considered a serving of fruit?
Good news for my fellow lactose-intolerant-walking-dead; Cabot Cheddar cheese contains no lactose! What’s that? [...]

Left Vermont on Saturday and pulled in to Johnstown at @4:30 or so.  Changed and headed out for a 9 mile run.   Got through about 6.5 miles and it started to rain a little.  Then it started to thunder a little.   I still had @30 minutes or so to go, so I told [...]

Week 3 was a tough week for blogging. I bought a new computer and might I say, this bitch is ready to freakin’ rock. I opened the box and unwrapped it and it snarled at me! No joke!
Oh yes, the running… Saturday long run – Up at 5:15. [...]

Saturday – 7.34 miles/1:03:49
Up at 7:30. Ate a banana and headed out. Started running at 8:10. I’m really surprised how many people are already out at this time of day.
As I wrote before, I have two technical shirts. The first is a Zorrel that is great and is made [...]

Achilles tendon is still a little irritated, but not nearly as bad as the beginning of the week. Trying to incorporate more stretching into my routine. I promise. I really, really promise.
Here’s something I’ve been putting off. I think I have to consider wearing a headband. [...]
