Gallivanting Around Earth
I'm at the Encore in Boston typing a quick post to check in with the dozens, errr single digits, of fans. This hotel, owned by Wynn, makes the Borgata seem dated. I'll take a few pictures throughout and update accordingly with this first class accommodation. Today was...
Things I Think About: Spending Time Productively – What is “Productive”?
Let me paint you a picture. It's Tuesday night. I've finished my run, showered, and just had dinner. It's 7pm. Meghan is at her grandparents in the suburbs because we haven't moved out yet. The night is mine... WHAT do I do? I find myself in situations like above...
Sitting in the Volkgarten Surrounded by Foreigners
Last May I was in Vienna, Austria sitting by myself in this exact park. The marathon was about to start and I was reading and thinking. You get a lot of time to yourself when you're in a foreign country/city and don't know anyone. I'm leaving this evening to travel to...
Running Up That Hill
My Frostbite 5 Miler was not as successful as Sam's. Had I done the race a month earlier, I believe I could have been a minute faster. The few weeks leading up this race, I was in Vegas definitely training hard, and the week prior I was hunched over a wheel for 3 days...
Marathon Training Check-in #2

A Commitment to Meditating
"The most shocking thing when I started meditating was being given the simple exercise to observe my breath coming in and out of the nostrils, not controlling it, just observing it, and I couldn't do it for more than 10 seconds. For 10 seconds I would try to notice...
Slow Talking
I've been experimenting with talking reeeeaaaaaaallllll slow. That's clearly an exaggeration, but the idea is that that the speed you talk has a lot to with how people perceive you. To break down the benefits of talking slow: You force people to listen to you because...
Life Comes At You Fast
I was reading how to cook a steak in a pan. Not riveting material. At the same time, I was crossing Spring Garden which is a 4 lane road. There were two guys who were 11 paces ahead of me traversing safely. My head was down like a mindless peon and I was going on...
