The Rebuilding Phase

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

April 2025: 69.2 miles.

April 2026: 20.6 miles.

The rebuilding phase fights you every day.

Poor routines hold their grip. The memory of half marathon races taunts. 3-mile base runs hurt more than they should.

One mile at a time is the only way out.

It is time to dig.

7 Miles Along the Blackstone

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Garmin recommended long run today, 1hr 10min. Temps in the high 20s, felt comfortable. Enjoyed the frost cover and the thin coating of ice on the Blackstone Canal.

Refreshing Winter Run

Ran a snow covered Blackstone Bike Path this morning. I love the muffled sound after a snowfall. Just cold air, quiet surroundings, and the crunch of the snow.

60 Degree Day

Sat, 11 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000

What a day today, just an incredible temperature jump this weekend. Two days of 60-degree temps in January is rare, so I made an extra effort to get a run today. The Blackstone Bike Path was really busy today, again highly unusual in January. The parking lot had 20ish cars and the traffic along the bike path reminded me of early spring when everyone is excited to be outside.

Make Running a Habit

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Some thoughts on running and a few training updates as the summer comes to an end.

I never thought running would become my “thing”. When I first started going to the gym I’d always avoid the treadmill, it just seemed boring and frankly I could not understand why anyone would want to run in-place for any length of time.

Running is now a passion, which I’ve come to embraced over the past few years. Something clicked for me a about three years ago and I’m so thankful that I was open to the idea. Thankful that I was willing to give it a serious try.
