BOSTON AT SIXTY
The weekend of Christmas, 2023, I decided to make some changes. I wasn’t sure where it might lead. This is the story.

Peachtree 10-K
I ran the Peachtree 10K today. It is claimed to be the largest 10K in existence. I’ve run that distance repeatedly in the last couple of...
Living…
From my deck in Chattanooga I have a great view of Lookout Mountain approximately two miles away. A map of all the trails on the mountain...
New approach.
I’ve been going out for an easy run that would always turn into a race for a PR. I’d start at an 8:30 pace or faster and struggle to hang...
Interesting week…
Progress continues. Daily mileage is up at 4 to 6 miles but I took two rest days this week so my weekly mileage was only about 23 miles....
Opened a time capsule
High school was all about running, and cross country in particular. The team went to and won the Class A State Championships my freshman...
You gotta have goals…
Having signed up for the 10-K/10 miler/half-marathon combo I realized that it was time to pick a marathon. So I went ahead and ordered a...
Progress
I went out this morning and set an Old Man PR for the 440, 880, 1k, 1 mile, 2 mile, 5k, and 4 miles. I can’t be proud of the times but...

I continue running four out of five days. On a good day I run 5k in 29 minutes. On a bad day it takes 32 minutes. Today I covered 4 miles...
On again, off again…
I had to be up at 3:00 am yesterday, so my run was pushed to the evening. Five steps in, I knew it just wasn’t going to happen. My legs...
Time for a race (or three)…
Marathons are certainly in my future, but not the near future. I’m growing comfortable with daily 5,000 meter runs, but my four mile run...
How long will it suck?
Every new and returning runner asks the same question. How long until this becomes less miserable? I was expecting that I’d have to gut...
What about the running?
I haven't talked much about the state of my running on this blog, so I thought I'd address that. At this point, I know no one is reading...
Down the Rabbit Hole...
I often joke that my hobby is collecting hobbies. Baking, canoeing, watch-building, barbecue, gardening, biking, fly fishing, hunting,...
Losing Weight
I wouldn't be considering qualifying for Boston if I still looked like the guy in this photo. That was me at 218 pounds in the summer of...
What's This All About?
In December 2023, I decided to make a few life changes. I moved to a new city to break my daily routines and gave up drinking alcohol and...
