Searcy MADD Dash 5K

Well, I did another 5K this past weekend. No, I didn’t get first place again…I got second. And, to top it off, there were more than 2 people in the division. There were 5. HA! So, my 2nd place finish feels a lot better than my previous 1st place finish....

Relay for Life 5K

Well, last weekend I ran the annual Searcy Relay for Life 5K. The proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society. It was a good course. I’m pretty used to it because it actually ran through my neighborhood. My friend Jon and I decided it would be a fun little run to...

Marathon Makeover

It’s Saturday, October 6, 2007, about 7:00 pm and I’m sitting around a table of Marathoners thinking, “How the hell did I get here?” It all started back in January when I got a call from my mom, Sheila Gold (who, I’m sure, you all know by now), telling me...

Little Rock Half Marathon

2:21:11 More later. LATER: Okay, so here’s the skinny. It was a great race. I’m really glad they moved the start and finish to the River Market area. Great temperature for a race. It actually got warm at times, but it was way better than Chicago with it’s almost 90...

Well, I did another trail run with Jon today. It wasn’t nearly as bad as the last one. We did run the same route, but the weather was a lot better. I was running in a short sleeve shirt by the end of the run. Beautiful day. If you want...

Trail Run #2

Well, I must be a glutton for punishment. I went with Jon on another trail run today. Not only did we do the same route as last week (grueling), we did more. We finished the trail in about 41 minutes. Instead of heading down the road and back like last...

Trail Run

Well, did my first trail run today. A friend of mine, Jon, is going to run a 50K trail run in April. So, decided to do his long run with him this week. Luckily, his long run is just supposed to be a hour to 2 hours on the trail....

Pictures added

I just added a few pictures to my Chicago Marathon post. You can see them by going to the post or right here. It’s better when you see them in the context of the story, but hey, what do I know.

Where should I begin …

Well, I survived the 2007 Chicago Marathon and actually finished. That’s about all that I can say about it other than the Marathon itself was a huge disaster. But I’ll get into that later. First, I will start with Thursday, when the trip began. So, if you have time, come...
