There are two types of runners in the world: those that run by time and those that run by distance. Do you wake up and head out for a 45 minute run however far that takes you? Or do you head out for a 5 mile run no matter how much time it lasts? I…
Time For Plan B (Yet Again)
I’m starting to think that I’m cursed. Eagleton 86 was cancelled this weekend due to some sort of issue with the course. This is now the third race that I’ve had cancelled on me in the past 12 months. The first two (Viaduct, Angela Ivory) were weather related and subsequently rescheduled. I was able to…

I know what I can do and what’s not feasible. I…
