I have officially decided that this will be my last blog before the marathon. It’s not that I don’t have plenty to say about many important topics – I could talk all day about the cultural significance of Weird Al’s latest album – it’s just that I won’t be running until the marathon and won’t […]

So I bought Children of the Corn with the hopes of a frightful Halloween, but instead I am splayed out on the couch, watching House. Megan’s apparently hooked on it – I’ve never watched it – which means that my movie will have to wait. Maybe it’ll be scarier after midnight. The last two days […]

So it’s the week of the marathon and I am trying to stay out of trouble and avoid madness. Tapering makes me feel like I am not doing enough to prepare for the race, and I have to hold back from running extra miles. A busy workout week will do nothing for my time this […]

It’s midnight on Saturday night, and instead of partying I am home watching television and typing this blog. I’m not a big Halloween fan, and the rain has officially given me an excuse to stay home. This will allow me to catch up on my writing, and also gives me a much-needed rest. I’ll save […]

So I have descended into the depth’s of urban hipster hell by lugging my laptop into a coffee shop. No, it’s not Starbucks – I didn’t fall that far – but it’s still in public, and if anyone I know sees me in here typing away, I’ll feel a little embarrassed. Maybe I would be […]

For some reason the words aren’t flowing freely tonight. It could be the lack of sleep – I went to bed at 3AM last night – or it could be the fact that I ran a mere 5 kilometers for my recovery run. Either way, I’m suffering from mental blockage. Hopefully if I keep writing […]

It’s 10:52PM and I am watching Desperate Housewives while surfing the net. My legs are a mess from my last long run before the marathon (more on that tomorrow), and my brain isn’t working quite as well as it should. Therefore, putting together a blog about my activities on Friday and Saturday is turning out […]

This is the first time since I started writing this blog that I’ve written my thoughts in a notebook. It’s a little more work, but I am doing laundry right now and I don’t have room in my hands or on my back for any more large items. I probably need to practice my penmanship […]

I am a terrible friend. I called Jamie about running together yesterday, but I couldn’t manage my schedule properly and had to ditch on him. It happens way too often, and it drives me crazy. Sorry Jamie! Then there’s Adam Guimond. Adam and I talked ages ago about hooking up for a run, and then […]
