In Like a Freezer Enough of that nice mild running weather, how about some freezing coldness, crazy winds, sub-zero wind chills, and perhaps some precipitation. The good news is it couldn’t be more than just a couple of weeks ago that you packed away all you winter running gear. Break it back out again. You’re ...
How ‘Bout That Weather? Felt a bit more like Spring Break than one would expect for February Vacation. Tomorrow morning might even be shorts and t-shirt weather. Not complaining. School Route This route seems somewhat appropriate given that kids are headed back to school, why shouldn’t we? http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/fullscreen/1066943036/
Run On Groceries Perhaps this week someone can explain grocery-shopping-before-a-snow-storm behavior for me. Sure, I’ve seen it before but I guess I never paid much attention to it. That was until I had to experience it. Last week I got hit with a honey-do list that included picking up “a couple of things at the ...
Now That’s More New England Snowy roads, perhaps getting snowier while we’re out for a jaunt, cold temperatures, perhaps a bit colder due to wind chill (which of course varies based on how fast you run), this is what running in New England during the winter is all about. You have to remember that there ...
Do Your Job Show up, wear your uniform properly, and do your job. This week is an easy Executive Style route of agreeable mileage but still long enough to be worth the effort. Put on as much Patriots gear as you own – mega BRC Bonus Points for anyone who brings a helmet. Patriot ...
How About That Countdown Calendar? Great question, glad you asked. The race archive now has over 67 races and events on it. There’s just a smidge of surfing involved in finding out what the 2017 dates will be so you can plan your running year. There’s a very good chance that it may or may ...
Tough Sledding Usually we like a little bit of snow, sleet, or general inclement weather for this run. There’s a storm front forming today and I’m not sure what the impact will be around here in the morning. Guess we’ll all just have to wait and see. Triple Border – 13(ish) Miles Here’s the ...
Count Your Blessings It could be worse. Much worse. Consider this; I’m traveling to San Antonio today so you know the first thing I did was to check out some possible border runs while I’m there. Basically I’d have to do a piece of work before hitting any signs for a different town. The longest ...
Where Do We Start? You have to start somewhere. But first, a quick story. As I’m prone to do, I ate considerably during the Silly Eating Season, which mercifully is finally over. And as is generally the case, a few pounds found me. Let’s just say I’m easier to see now. So I know I ...
