Getting back into my regular training post-vacation has been a toughie. Every morning, I wake up and decide to put off my runs until the afternoon. Almost every afternoon, I’ve been wishy-washy about going for that run, until I end up at home, cleaning my apartment as an alternative to running. The only easy run [...]
If you ever want an ego boost (and if this sort of thing serves to boost your ego), go to the Wheaton Mall.
Whether you’re in an “I’m fat” kind of mood, or whether you’re wondering why no one seems to be paying any kind of attention to you anymore, the Wheaton Mall could potentially cure [...]
“Smithers, have the Rolling Stones killed!”
“But sir, those aren’t–”
“Do as I say!”
Well, that was a prelude to wishing IP a very happy 32nd birthday. As I write this post, I realize that, being away, he can’t dictate his terms today, so I can assert my God-given right to say that he is four, count [...]

Ah, what the hell. Another post pre-Utah. What say you on my oh-so-geeky title?
This morning was an 11-miler courtesy of the New York Road Runners Interactive Online Trainer. I admit, I was semi-dreading this one. Last week’s run was anything but ideal, and I wondered if I might not collapse sometime [...]
Before I head off to Utah on vacation, I need to update the book list. It’s been nearly two months since I’ve done so, and rest assured, I have been reading during that time. I’ve just been lazy. Well, busy, let’s say. This summer was extremely hectic, and the end of [...]
This week, thanks to marathon training, I ran a total of 21 miles. It’s been a long time since I’ve done that many miles, and I’m quite happy with myself. The long run this morning was kind of tough (I had to walk a little bit, I admit), but I got it done. Because my [...]
