Standard Time Although I love this weekend, in which we get to return to Standard time and get a bit more morning sunlight to power our run, it will also change things for me, as I will no longer be 7 hours into the future. Now I will be 8 hours into the future. Coordination ...
All Hallows Eve It’s that time again. It’s time to don your scariest costumes and head out to badger the neighbors for goodies. Or maybe just run to the costume store while wearing a costume. Or NOT wearing a costume. You decide what’s right for you. So as not to step into a steaming pile ...
Morning Runs in the Sun Maybe I’ve ranted to you before about DST, and my thoughts about why it should end. I apologize for the rant, but sometimes I will take advantage of this platform. At the end of the day, I can reduce it to one simple idea, that for me, trumps the other ...

Where Did Everyone Go? Well, RTB is back. We have friends up in the mountains, racing their way to Hampton Beach.
