Top on my list this past week was recovering and getting my Ragnar DC recaps out in a timely basis. It wasn’t that pushing hard while running a total of 20.44 miles in 24 hours did me in, it was the lack of sleep. I’m not one to require a lot of sleep, but 1 hour 20 minutes wasn’t […]

Equally daunting will be my effort to tell the story of our incredible adventure in just four short posts starting with today’s 2016 Ragnar DC Recap Part […]

With only five more days until I hop in a van with my son Daniel, his girlfriend Jess, and and three other friends for Ragnar DC, I plan to cut back a little bit on my training this week. We are running to have fun with no grandiose illusions of being competitive so I really don’t have […]
I don’t remember much about my first Leesburg 20K back in 2004 other than it was hot, humid, hilly, and left nothing to make me want to run it again. Fast forward to 2014 and then 2015 when I decided to give the race another chance and quickly learned that I really liked the change in the course and […]

Just on a whim I texted Meagan on Thursday night to see if she was available to give me that tour of the trails at Pandapas Pond that she’s been telling me about for the last couple of years. I was in luck and she said that she could meet Bill and me anytime Friday afternoon. We […]

The thing I love most about running is the freedom it affords – the chance to drop all of my cares and enjoy being outside with nature. Last week that freedom was interrupted when there were two attempted attacks on women on the W&OD Trail. On Wednesday, a women walking on the W&OD Trail was attacked by two men who came […]
