Sunday, May 5, 2013. 2014 – "By pushing ourselves to our limits, we truly discover we’re limitless.". Sometimes getting into the field of the Boston Marathon is more than half the story. Here is an account for a first time entrant in 2014. Look for an update next April! Whether or not to try for the Boston Marathon was never a question. My competitive nature immediately kicked in. Boston was in my sights. But funny things happen when a boy meets the right girl. My girlfriend (now fiancée) believed in...

Monday, April 7, 2014. 2014 -Running is my metaphor for sobriety: I can't stay sober alone; I would never have made it to Boston on my own. Austin Half - 2014. NYC Marathon - 2013. 5k with the Spurs' coyote. I don't think I would appreciate my sobriety as much as I do today were it not for running. I would never be on my journey to the Boston Marathon were I not on my journey of sobriety. I am trudging the road of happy destiny and for that I am grateful. San Antonio, Texas. 10 mile - 1:15:11.

Monday, March 24, 2014. 2015 - "By my fourth race, I was passing my buddy and really enjoying competing! I really haven’t been running very long. When I turned 50, in 2005, I started thinking more about my health, and joined a fitness center. I ran on the treadmill, used the elliptical, and regularly went to fitness classes. The more races I won, the more motivated my training became. By the end of that year, I had my 5k time down to 21:30! It was a small event, 107 runners, and I finished 1st in my age ...

Faces in the Crowd. Wednesday, July 2, 2014. April 18, 2011 - Still paying back for a race just under the wire. Our patient was treated gently and respectfully, as if she should feel no more pain. She had already suffered enough. Even though I only knew her for the last five minutes of her life, I feel like I had lost a family member. I think about her every day, and every night when I can't sleep, which is often. At the half way point. Making the turn off Hereford Street. I thought to myself, I have to ...

Running advice when a Tweet just isn't enough. Wednesday, January 21, 2015. BOSTON MARATHON - For The First Timer. In my opinion, the Boston Marathon is one of the greatest participatory events in the world! For runners, it is on the same level with the Masters, the Indianapolis 500 and the Final Four….and we get to play in it! We love to hate this time at the village. Actually, you will look back on it with pleasure, but it may be a pretty long wait under less than ideal conditions….(but n...The more pr...
