Not a lot happened on the training front last week once I completed the Boston marathon. I was feeling a bit fatigued and decided to take the week extremely easy, meaning one 45 min bike session. I have been training steady for the last four months so I am due for a little break. Plus […]

On Monday April 21st, 2008 I completed my first Boston marathon. I am a relative marathon newbie with having done three standalone road marathons while only racing in one of them because the other two I was injured. Being fairly new to the sport, I knew some basics of the Boston marathon but was still […]

My first Boston marathon is in the books.
The short of it:

Dead legs.
Fade.
Big crowds.
Challenging course.
Big smile.
Sore legs.

Well tomorrow is the day. A day to be grateful for this opportunity and to celebrate it to the best of my ability. A special thanks to my wife and son for coming along and supporting me on this little trip. It has been a interesting trip but one that I will forever be grateful […]

We were able to get in a few naps during the day which helped everyone. G took a nice two hour nap in the morning which we all took advantage of.
After G’s nap we got ready to […]

Well, we made it to the big city! It hasn’t been without some personal growth moments.
The flight over was fairly smooth except for Griffin (1 yr old son) wanting to explore the entire plane. This tested both Wendy and I since this took place for the entire first two hours of the flight. We received […]

Baby!
Time to go and run that little marathon they have up there.
The race is on Monday, I repeat Monday. Strange day for a race but it is a civic holiday (Partriots’ Day) in the state of Massachusetts.
You can check out the progress of all your running friends on the Boston Marathon website come race day.
I […]

I like to cut back on the food shoved in the mouth during a major taper. No need to put on a couple extra pounds right before the event. Per the rumor, one extra pound of weight is equal to three pounds when running. No thanks!
I am especially trying to cut back on the carbohydrates […]
