It’s Coming Silly Eating Season is almost here. According to Wiley’s “Most Obscure Seasons and Why You Should be Prepared” the tradition of Silly Eating Season began in 1543 when King Henry VIII was having such a joyous time, he didn’t want his annual harvest feast to end; so he encouraged the Royal Guard to ...
Veterans Day This Sunday will be the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. I have no better words to offer than those of President Woodrow Wilson, which were delivered on the first anniversary, then known as Armistice Day: ADDRESS TO FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN The White House, November 11, 1919. A year ago ...
Running in the rain Meat and Potatoes While not a long run, this is a challenging course due to the hills. Keep the ascent back home in mind before you use all your energy going downhill. Touch the border for fun. Most of you already have collected it, but it’s not guaranteed that everyone has. ...
Halloween It’s that time of year when the shadows grow a little longer, that silly black bird keeps "quothing" at me, and the voices in my head kick into high gear. The floorboards won’t stop thumping, every other dude has a hook on his hand, and grandma’s out of the asylum again. Just remember: we ...
No Content I’ve hit a wall, and have nothing to write about. Burned out and overwhelmed right now. Here’s some sample stock autumn-slash-running topics: The trees are starting to look nice. Some friends of ours ran another Ultra. (Good job, guys) Some ladies won raffles at Whirlaway. Stuff happened. Good luck to anyone running the ...
Congratulations All Around In the past two weeks, we’ve had first Halves, Marathon triumphs and Ultra dreams come true. Smutty, Chicago, and The Crawl were well represented.

You can get 18.5 miles starting at the Common at 0620. Folding money gets ...
Done. So, that was fun. Surely more fun than should be allowed. Now I’m tired and feel like being a little lazy. That will be reflected in my work here. No planning. Just go run the 10K or 5K routes. If you need more miles, you can 1) start early and do more miles, or ...
RTB. So, where is everybody? Well, I can’t speak for everyone but a whole mess of us are going up to Bretton Woods to run down to Hampton Beach. Silly, right? Just like last year, I don’t know all of the teams involved, but we’ve got some teams who take it as a performance challenge, ...
