Social Distance Run – BHM 26.2 Race Report
October 5, 2020
I emerged from the basement today to run the BHM26.2 half marathon, my first race in over 7 months. I probably would not have run this race since I have been working so hard at avoiding catching Covid-19, but I had already paid way back in January when the run was scheduled for March. The … More Social Distance Run – BHM 26.2 Race Report
Yankees Virtually United 5k – a Race Report
July 17, 2020
I’ve never entertained the thought of running a virtual race before, but my last race of 2020 was the City of Palms Half Marathon in February, and I have been kind of itching to get out there. So when I saw that my favorite MLB team, the New York Yankees, was holding a virtual 5k … More Yankees Virtually United 5k – a Race Report

Chinese Hoax: Rahr & Sons Oktoberfest 10k and Little River Canyon Half Marathon
October 7, 2019
I’ve been around for over a half century and I saw something this week I’ve never seen before: 100 degree temperatures in October. Granted I lived most of those years in New York and Massachusetts where triple digit temps were relatively rare any time of year, but I also lived here in the south for … More Chinese Hoax: Rahr & Sons Oktoberfest 10k and Little River Canyon Half Marathon
Area 13.1 Half Marathon
August 20, 2019
I did it. I “escaped the invasion” for a second time even though I ran about 11 minutes slower than I did the first time in 2017. I finished in 2:06:39 which is my slowest half marathon EVER. I’m sure I can come up with plenty of reasons why I was so much slower. It … More Area 13.1 Half Marathon
