A Perfect Country and Western Song
I have found that any mileage over 13, equates in me thinking crazy thoughts, laughing hysterically at myself, and then trying to share the hilarity with friends and family. Needless to say, they don't find the same event/observation/experience as funny as I do. I might get a polite chuckle, but the look in their eyes, the tone of their voice.... This week was a "rest" week in my Pittsburgh marathon training. (I'm doing my best as so not to re-live last year's whoopin'!!) I had on my schedule… Continue

Marathon #3 and a turkey that wasn't quite 26.2 pounds

There is no "FORMULA"
After running the Shamrock whole last year, and feeling like a champ, pretty much the whole time, I thought that I had "THE FORMULA" down. Not so much. This weekend I ran the Pittsburgh marathon, my hometown race. The weather was great, mid 50s with some light drizzle for about an hour. By the way, the course was great, the support from the neighborhoods was incredible...just an amazing event!! I thought I did everything right. The eating, the sleeping, the running...at mile 9, that's when it… Continue
