This speech is my recital, I think it’s very vital To rock (a rhyme), that’s right (on time) It’s Tricky is the title, here we go… For the first time since moving to Austin, Ev and I visited the old hood (a.k.a. the Wizzle Dizzle Washington, DC). We met up with lots of old friends, [ READ MORE ]
This here blog has been getting cozy at its current address for nearly a year now and is thinking of upgrading to someplace a little less on the west side* running-only. Why you ask? Well that will all be answered in more detail in an upcoming post. The long and the short of it is [ READ MORE ]
Still no race on the calendar, but that hasn’t stopped me from hitting the pavement. I’ve been getting out there 3 – 4 2-3 times a week, bright- dark-and-early (stupid Spring Forward). I’ve been heading out on my regular 7.68 mile (yes, exactly 7.68, so says my GPS) route most mornings and take on the [ READ MORE ]
Well, I’d first like to say thanks to my only reader, who voted 17 times all 17 of you who voted in my poll about running the National Half Marathon.

I’ve had a wonky sleep schedule this week. Actually, the schedule has been fine, but my body hasn’t really been sticking to it. The past 3 nights I was lucky enough to see the clock at 3:31am, 3:15am, and 1:52am. Not ideal, and it left me more tired than usual. Well this morning I got [ READ MORE ]

Ah, the wash of sunshine pouring over you after 3+ months of layers and confinement. Few things are as underrated as sunshine to those who bask in its warmth year-round. Granted, as a transplant from South Florida, I, too, took sunshine as an undeniable constant for a time. As my northward migration has taken me [ READ MORE ]
Miami was my eighth (count ‘em, 8 ) marathon. After (almost) all of them I take about a week off and then hop right back into it. This time is different, with no race on the calendar. It’s rare for Mikey here to not have at least a few races on the horizon. It provides [ READ MORE ]
The title of this post is a subtle Borat reference. If you haven’t seen Borat, well, don’t worry about the title. Also, I think you should update your Netflix queue now. Basically, I mean that it is March, so where’s the Spring-like weather? My run today was 34 feels like 27 degrees. Fahrenheit. Now, I [ READ MORE ]
Picking up where Part 1 left off, the other concern I had with a new running compatriot would be pace. I mean, who knows how fast someone named “Ben” would run? Is a Ben faster than a Mike? Where does that compare to a Colin, or even, say, a Derrick?? Oh boy, what had I [ READ MORE ]
