It’s been a while since I’ve written but just wanted to say thanks to all of our donors so far. We still have a long way to go and it’s only 8 weeks until the marathon. Jen and I did a 14 mile run through the streets of Waltham and Lincoln this past Saturday morning. [...]

I just out a bunch of invitations to a group on Facebook to support my fundraising goal. Hey guys! A quick training update: I’m fairly back on track and I don’t have many band shows until the marathon, so I should be able to get back into the full swing of things. Jen and I [...]

This is earth shattering news from training central! I bought a second pair of sneakers this weekend at Sports Authority. They are Asics Gel-Nimbus 10′s. The WONDERFUL people over at Marathon Sports helped me with this purchase. The Nike Zoom Vomero’s I have are sort of specialty sneakers, and I bought them at Marathon Sports, [...]

Global warming is laughing at us and I’m smiling back. Andy and I braved it through freezing temps and were victim to endless chills and frozen fingers. However, today, we’ll run in shorts! What is going on? I’m not sure, but I’m keeping my mouth shut until April. What’s new? Fundraising: Well, we’re getting our [...]

After a bad couple of weeks not really sticking to the calendar, I’m back at it this week. I got achilles tendonitis this past March and spent a while rehabbing it. I’ve got inserts in my regular shoes and my sneakers, but I noticed that my other foot/leg has been feeling funky. I think it’s [...]

I have two nurses in my immediate family. My stepmother Loretta works in the ICU at Stony Brook Hospital and my [...]

Jen ran 2 days and I ran one. We ran 4 miles from Doug’s house to the entrance to the Seeds of Peace camp. When we started out, there were 2 stars in the sky and we could see 300 feet in front of us. By the time we got back, the sky was full [...]

Yesterday concluded my first full week of training. It’s been a while that I’ve run this much in a week. It was only about 13 miles, but I’m used to running a couple here and there. I’m sore today but we have a rest day today, so I’ll be doing LOTS of stretching to keep [...]

I tuned my ears into the sound of the rustling breeze, breathed in the smell of salt and sea, and surveyed the beach on my left and marsh on my right as we ran along Ocean Street in Hyannis. It was a gorgeous and peaceful morning. I tried to etch the picturesque run into my [...]
