Some people ask, “What is an ultra?” Well, an ultra is considered anything past the marathon distance of 26.2 miles.

runner’s world holiday running streak 2013 done
Wow! What an awesome experience!! I’m just going to do this and get it over with — I’M SO PROUD OF MYSELF!! I’ve got to hand it to myself, I’ve never imagined participating in a running streak, maybe because I never seriously thought about doing one at all. But I’ve got to say, this was…
team nutribullet: 10 miles
Day 24 of the Runner’s World Holiday Running Streak had me meeting Team NutriBullet for a 10 mile run. This was the first time pace groups were assembled and I started with a pretty good sized group.

The Portland Marathon was eons ago! November flew by in a flash. It was a cray cray month and I just didn’t have any writing in me. I barely even had any running in me. In October, I was consumed by baseball! Yes, baseball! After last year’s horrendous season and the disastrous collapse in 2011, the Red Sox…

Today is my birthday, or as I usually call it, my burfday. I’m at an age where I suppose I shouldn’t be pronouncing it like that but who cares? I don’t. So yes today is my burfday and I’ve been celebrating it all month long!
