I initially sat down to write my race recap two days post-Boston. It’s now going on two weeks and I’m finally getting back to it. I’ll keep the recap short and sweet.

Sitting on the couch earlier this week, I looked to my wife and said, “you know what? I’m racing Boston in 6 days. Six more days and I’ll be running a marathon.” This week brought about a nice break and recovery for both mental and physical training. Spring break was a great time to ramp […]
It’s been a while since I sat down to post through the website but I thought this would be a good opportunity to dig in a little bit to the season and share some plans. This year, in conjunction with Montclair Kimberley Academy, I’m working on goal setting, nutrition, and time management. I will be […]
It’s race week for iM Chattanooga! Finally! I’ve got an early morning start tomorrow but this is just a quick chance to get my thoughts together and be able to channel the focus. Taper week usually is seen as a chance to rest the legs and body after grueling miles and workouts on your feet. […]
