I see that Ben has been forsaken by the rest of us, even as he achieves commendable milestones in his running. For this, I apologize. But I just want to say that I fully intend to recommence my running. My routine fell off a cliff after my H-M with Oman at the beginning of June, [...]
Hi Guys. Pike, thanks for the shout-out. The Half we ran was nothing to write home about, and yet, here I am, writing home. Travis was dubious we could run under 8-minute miles. We were in the high 1.:42 range for the whole race. His GPS said we ran something like 7:50s. I think. We [...]
That’s a Will Ferrell quote from “A Night at the Roxbury”, when he experiences a ‘hottie overload’ in a nightclub. He proceeds to take his brother Doug’s advice and pace himself. For example, “what’s up?…2…3…4….what’s up?…2…3…4…what’s up? etc.” This anecdote teaches us the value of pace.
February was the usual, and as such a bit of [...]
What’s up bros? I’m back from Mexico, where I swam every day, and ate a lot too. February begins my running mileage ramp-up. January was somewhere around…say, 20 miles for the month. Let’s aim for 20 miles per week by the end of Feb. Hope life’s good for all. It’s cold as balls in Vermont, [...]
What’s up? I find that I can vouch only for summer and fall; spring is in limbo for me. summer will be at least the Covered Bridges Half Marathon with T-Oman. Should be sweet. Fall I will do Central Vermont Runners’ October 3-race 5k series. I might try to fit something in around Labor Day [...]
How’s it going, boys? My local college pool opened up again and I’ve started swimming. Some highlights of the holiday weeks: lots of snowshoeing, a nordic ski field trip with April Gentile-Miserandino in 4′ weather (minus 10′ with windchill) and a lot of overeating. I’m doing ab work before bedtime now pretty regularly, though, and [...]
I will be trying to commit myself to a weekly update every week, and it’s my own problem if it’s embarrassing. So here goes, with my first one:
I got around 12 miles in this week, on three runs. The most significant was a trip down to Norwich, VT to run with Travis Oman. I also [...]
Ryan, good to have you join us. My two cents: while my passion for running has always waxed and waned throughout my career, I find the waning more pronounced these days. It always waxes again, and those times are surreal and delightful. This may not happen for you, but the temporal distance from day-to-day team [...]

Hello friends. Thank you to Pike and Shaw for recent posts, it’s nice to have you all back. I suppose I am especially impatient because my life in DC is winding down, and I’m living vicariously through the exciting lives of others. To Pike, delirium sounds lovely, keep me posted. You have about two weeks [...]
Geez boys, one wedding and you all fall silent. What’s the story.
In a fit of hubris, I’ve signed up for a September 26 8k with some friends. This will be painful. Stay tuned.
What are my finer, fitter, friskier fellow flyers doing these days?
