http://workingrunner.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
The Working (Marathon) Runner. Sunday, June 29, 2014. After Boston, I took the customary week off and basically trained moderately: 30 to 60 minute runs, a couple Sundays and Fridays in the 90-minute range, and a few workouts (helping Patrick keep his sub-5-minute-mile streak going comes to mind). I raced the three-mile Capital Challenge. On May 21, a Wednesday morning, for a work team. Then, on Saturday, as is becoming tradition, I raced the Spring Lake 5. And finished 7th in 26:56. June 2 - 8. S - 10, ...

The Working (Marathon) Runner. Wednesday, February 4, 2015. Training Update: Nov. 24 - Feb. 1. Recently, when I have thought to update this blog, the thought following that one has been: “If I have time for this, I should probably get my act together on that story I am working on for Charlie, instead.” The latest one was a profile of Christo Landry. I look forward to sharing it here.). But I'm also trying to let all of that go now. I'm accepting that those races just weren't my days. Strength and speed&#...

The Working (Marathon) Runner: April 2012
http://workingrunner.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
The Working (Marathon) Runner. Thursday, April 19, 2012. I need to keep this brief. I was no match for the record heat Monday in Boston. I dropped out in Wellesley and called it a day. It looks like I am taking a shot at another marathon next month. I do plan to write about my experience in Boston and my plan moving forward, but first I need to pass my comprehensive exam for graduate school on Saturday. I also am working on something about Boston and the heat for the American Observer. Monday - AM 12.

http://workingrunner.blogspot.com/2015/05/running-mcm-for-friends4michael.html
The Working (Marathon) Runner. Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Running MCM for Friends4Michael Foundation. This October marks ten years since my first marathon, and I cannot think of a better way to celebrate that than by running my first Marine Corps Marathon in this city I call home. But I have another, much-more-important goal - and that is to raise $1,000 for the Friends4Michael Foundation. This started, to be honest, by asking myself how I would gain entry into this sold-out race. My first thought -. As a ru...
