Davidson Half-marathon
All out at the Davidson half-marathon finish
(thanks to Jeri for picture)
Fun race last weekend in Davidson. Most of Crazy Legs showed up and we even got a few age group awards. I was 13th overall with a 1:25:35, good for an age-group second in my first race in the 35-39 group (congrats to [...]
Blue Ridge Relay 2008
Last weekend was the Blue Ridge Relay, which is 209 miles and 24+ hours of sick quad- and hamstring-bashing. Our Crazy Legs team showed up with a full twelve-person roster, and pulled out an impressive seventh-place (out of 75+ teams) in 26:45.

I ran position [...]
Kate Portrait
I love this portrait my sister is doing of my niece. She says it’s a work-in-progress, though I’m in favor of her keeping it in its current state.
I can’t wait to see the companion portrait of my nephew. She paints from photographs, so I’m hoping I can provide a similar portrait of him.
Myrtle Beach 2008
We had a nice crew going to Myrtle Beach this year. The two Pauls were shooting to push Dougherty below his 3:16 needed for Boston, Susi was pacing Jeri in her first race back from her ankle injury, and I was finally trying to break 3 hours.
Jeri and Susi ran a comfortable half, Jeri’s [...]
Uwharrie 2008
I had a wonderful time at the Uwharrie Mountain Run last weekend. The race is very well organized, with good coordination at the start and finish and great support along the course. Very highly recommended.

I ran the 20 miler as my final long run before a fast attempt at [...]
Trail shoes
I ran trails for years in old pairs of road Gel-Nimbus, which are perfectly fine for some trails. However, when trails are very technical or just very rocky, I have found that I benefit enormously from a well-chosen pair of trail shoes. Mark it up to lots of slipping and sore feet at [...]

2007 Grandfather Mountain Marathon
For my last long training run before a Boston qualifying attempt in San Francisco, I ran the Grandfather Mountain Marathon with fellow running idiot Paul Martino and 458 other crazy mountain goats. It was the beautiful and energizing training run I’ve ever done. I wasn’t running for time, but was very happy with [...]

View from Bally’s
Back from Las Vegas. Temperatures in Charlotte are less than 115F, and there is water in the air.
This view really, really sucks compared to the view of the Strip from the top of the Rio.

I had a difficult enough time locating my original post of this shot that decided to do a little recycling. Apologies.

They’re going to Boston!
Go to the Boston Marathon website, select “Entrants”, search on Charlotte, NC, and you’ll see that both my distance running partners have qualified for Boston 2007! Jeri delivered an amazing kick for the last six miles of Phoenix to get her qualifying time, and Susi qualified at San Diego last year. These ladies [...]
Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona 2007
I ran the 2007 Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Marathon last Sunday. I finished in 3:41 in relative comfort, which was my goal. It was my second marathon, and an 18-minute improvement over my previous time. As advertised, it was a very flat course, perfect for PRs, and I suspect I’ll run it [...]
