Erie Marathon Race Recap
The Erie Marathon was held on September 10, 2018. 2200 runners registered for the race to make it a completely sold out event. It is a favorite among runners looking for a last ditch effort to get into Boston since the race is right before the opening of Boston Marathon registration. Erie has a high percentage of finishers hitting those qualifying times that they seek.
RUNNING DAD – JOHN KELLY
Any advice for other Running Dads? “Have fun, and make the most of every second! Our kids will grow up, and our running will inevitably degrade with age, so enjoy both to the fullest. Then we can sit around and take joy in our kids’ accomplishments while we sit on the couch with The Weather Channel on in the background.”
2018 Boston Marathon Recap
Before you skip over this thinking “Not another run-blogger telling us it was the worst conditions for the Boston Marathon in 30+ years blah blah blah”, I have more to the story than a weather report. It was my fourth consecutive Boston and the one I had the most fun running. The wind, rain, and cold just added to the challenge.
Boston Marathon 2018 – Goals
Holy cow, it is less than two weeks until the 122nd running of the Boston Marathon. Yikes! My fourth time running the historic course. I like to set goals each year and sharing them here gives me a chance to look back and see if I hit them or missed them.
I hope you had a Goodr Easter!
I received a really cool package on my doorstep the other day. As soon as I saw the shipping address, I thought “this is going to be cool”. Inside the box were four easter eggs.
Next up – Yeti 100 miler. Yikes!
have been holding off on posting much about the big race I have coming up at the end of September. I just finished running the Kauai Marathon on the 3rd. I didn't want to overshadow that race with a race of mythical proportions; the Yeti 100 Miler. I saw the Yeti 100...
The Yeti 100. What the hell were we thinking?
100 miles. What are we thinking? Read about the road leading to Yeti – my first 100 miler.

Workout Wednesday – What Goes Up …
I know how much you love hills! Pushing yourself up the hill to build that strength and endurance that only a hill workout can give you is FUN! In reality, you are sweating profusely and cursing Coach Jeremy. Trust me, I feel your pain.
Workout Wednesday – A fartlek by any other name …
As you know by now, “fartlek” is one of my favorite vocabulary words. Several of the athletes I am currently training for upcoming marathons have seen a lot of this word recently on their workout calendars. As I was thinking about and planning their upcoming workouts, I remembered a challenging workout that Calum Neff shared with me a while back.
