Refreshing Winter Run
There’s something meditative about running in the snow. The world softens, muffled by a blanket of white. This morning, along the Blackstone River, it was just me, the crunch of cold snow under my feet and the rhythmic yet gentle thud of my sneakers hitting against the packed trail.

60 Degree Day
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…

Thursday Run
Today I’m sharing a photo from my run this morning. The quiet calm stillness along the Blackstone River, especially in the colder months, is just awesome. My goal over the next few weeks is to slowly get back into a running routine. I’ve skipped too many days and I’ve watched my monthly mileage drop significantly…

Gansett Half Marathon

Make Running a Habit
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…

New Distance PR
Somtimes my best runs are just random good days. Today I boke my personal distance record, previously 13.1 (June 8, 2013). I simply enjoyed today’s run, temperatures were in the low 60s and my legs felt good. Once I hit the three mole mark, I started to think about how far I should go. I…

Outdoors at Lincoln Woods
Finaly got outside again, Lincoln Woods is my go-to after snowstorms. The park has a paved road that wraps around picturesque Onley Pond, two loops is about 5 miles. Today was a great day, temperatures were around 32F, sunny, and I was full of energy. Unfortunately knee pain has been my 2014 struggle, today I…
