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
The Eugene Marathon is in less than 9 weeks. My training since the last update has gone about as well as I could have imagined with my last 5 weeks' mileage being 68, 68, 70, 70, 69; remarkable consistence. My long run workout last week was a 20 miler with a 15 mile...

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...
A New Stage of Life
I wrote a post about 10 years ago with the following thesis: The stage of life that you're in is the stage of life that you want to be in. I don't know what was going on in my life for me to make such a profound statement, but in the 10 years since writing that, my...
Waste Management and Superbowl
The Player's Open I'll start with the Waste Management Open and I'll use Benny An for inspiration. https://twitter.com/ByeongHunAn/status/1756491918622728308 Is This Golf? I was going to write a post about how LIV has ruined the quality of the PGA where '24 events...
I’m the Most Popular Guy Here Now
I was in Vegas this past week at a roofing trade show. I must have talked to 100 people over the course of the few days and I quickly create judgements based on these interactions. Does the person listen? Are they talking about pertinent topics? Do they have a sense...
