Long-Term Running Goals: QUALIFY AND RUN IN THE BOSTON MARATHON. Personal: I am 27. Have done 33 marathons and ultras. Really trying to get in shape to get back to running the miles I want to. I love to read and worked for four years in a bookstore. I like to keep track of the books I read. Currently I work as a 6th & 7th grade history teacher at the only charter school in Berkshire County, as well as serve as the coach for the cross country team! Been experimenting as a pescatarian (eating only fish) since August 10, 2011.
Just earned my Master's Degree in Adolescent Education for Social Studies. I have the most wonderful WIFE in the entire world.. EMMA! October 16, 2010
Run when you can, walk when you have to, crawl if you must. Just never give up! - Dean Karnazes -
We are all teachers and we are all students in this sport. - Dean Karnazes -
The simple act of putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward at an accelerated rate can be one of life's greatest - and simplest - pleasures. ~Dean Karnazes
"Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny." - MK Gandhi
"The marathon mercilessly rips off the outer layers of our defenses and leaves the raw human, vulnerable and naked. It is here you get an honest glimpse into the soul of an individual. Every insecurity and character flaw is open and on display for all the world to see. No communication is ever more real, no expression ever more honest. There is nothing left to hide behind. The marathon is the great equalizer. Ever movement, every word spoken and unspoken, is radiant truth. The veil has been obliterated. These are the profound moments of human interaction that I live for." - Dean Karnazes

| Day #402: 15.10 miles in 2:19:03. Shouldn't have run while sick. Anyone can do it on an easy day. Takes a complete dumbass to do it whilst sick though, right? Splits were: 9:47, 9:42, 9:44, 9:43, 9:43, 9:36, 9:34, 9:34, 9:35, 9:26, 8:37, 8:29, 8:22, 8:22, 7:54!
Apparently there was some other "important" athletic event today. So sad I missed it... not!
Phlegm is germs who figure out,
That they are about to get smited.
Just don't spit it on the wood floors!

| Day #403: 4 miles in 31:14, good for 7:49/mile. Working hard for a breakthrough. Pain is just weakness leaving the body!
Apparently gum chewing,
Is the new non-violent protest.
Rise young masses and fight on!

| Day #405: 20.1 miles on the treadmill, real relaxed. 3:24:00 total. Did 3 hours earlier in the day, and 2.5 miles in 24:00 tonight. Feeling good! Getting in shape! Or losing shape? Losing some flat tires? Found some really cool stuff in the sweat crusted cesspool on the side/behind the treadmill today including a quarter, tit-aids, and a subscription to RW.
I tripped once but caught myself,
Treadmills don't agree with standing still.
Pick up your tutu and run!

| Day #407: 4 miles easy in 35:54, 8:59 pace. Been sick as a dog all day. No voice, coughing stuff up. Was dumb and took a Mucinex. That's like deciding to take a laxative before your first date. Had one of those sneeze mid-stride and laugh as green stuff comes out your nose moments. being a runner!
Mucinex - my antidrug,
This too shall pass... I think! And if not,
Well at least I got a cool story!

| Day #408: 5 miles in 43:40; sick and coughing up green stuff. You try to stop coughing, but then it hits you in a wave and you convulse and it radiates pain from the center of your chest all the way up and out your nose. Ugh! Only about 10 miles off the goal run today.
Internal furnace heats up,
Nose starts to run and you can't stop it,
This too shall pass.. yes? Please, yes!
