I’ve had a dissapointing couple of months and I have absolutely
no excuses for them. They just sit there, like cold, gelatinous
oatmeal. I hate cold, gelatinous oatmeal. I’ve fallen short
of every goal I’ve set lately, and between you and me I’m sick
and tired of it. It’s going to take two things to [...]

Had one of those “wow” runs on Wednesday afternoon along the Potomac river.
I was in meetings all day Tuesday and Wednesday after travelling all day Monday. By Wednesday afternoon I was physically and mentally ready for some serious sack time.
So I went on a nice long run. I was staying in Crystal City and the [...]

There are different ways that age creeps up and bares its ugly off-white dentures. You could probably care less, but I’ve always considered myself
to have relatively strong legs. I played soccer as a kid. I was on the

I grew up just south of Denver in an unincorporated portion of Arapahoe county.  My address was Littleton.  I grade school I either took the bus or walked to school and I had to travel across Broadway, a straight-as-an-arrow street that ran up into the gut of Denver.  On a clear day standing at the [...]

Saturday morning at 6:35 approximately 20 people ran out of a church parking lot and turned left to begin the 3rd annual Miley Marathon and Marathon Relay. It had been my original intention to run the whole 26.2 thinking that it was going to be run on Sunday and forgetting that Sunday was Mother’s Day. [...]

The last thing I ever want to write about is not writing. Does that
make any sense what-so-ever? I don’t like writing about why I’ve not
been writing. It seems to me that most people don’t really care why I’ve
been doing things other than writing banal quips about my existence. If

I’m a sleeper.  Always have been.  The best part of my day is when I crawl into bed at night and snuggle into a comfortable postion.  Pure heaven.  As I get older it becomes easier to get up in the morning and I seem to need less sleep but I continue to carry the banner [...]

Next time you have a minute or two, go find a razor sharp knife. Heat up the blade to kill any nasty germs and then slowly slice off all the skin of your pinky toe. Put the knife away, pull on a sock and your shoes and run 5 or 6 miles. Once you managed [...]
