When I first started running, it was pretty much a solitary endeavor. While others may have inspired me to, for example, sign up for my first race or two, I for the most part was doing the actual running on my own. This changed in the second half of 2019 when I started joining CVRContinue reading “10/25/21 Training Update: Some Next-Level Shit”

Today’s Run: Siboinebi Path
Today is a Federal holiday. Once named for a pretty rotten European man who supposedly “discovered” the Americas, it is now known in Vermont (and a few other places) as Indigenous Peoples’ Day. This day is now meant to honor the original inhabitants of our land, from whom it was stolen. This is a lower-keyContinue reading “Today’s Run: Siboinebi Path”

I didn’t even decide how far to run until theContinue reading “5/3/20: CVR Social Distancing 10K Virtual Race”
3/9/20 Training Update: Not the King of the Hills
Hills are part of life in Vermont. I won’t say a “necessary evil,” because one of the reasons I am here is for the great downhill skiing. But they are difficult to avoid for any length of time. Here in Montpelier, where two rivers meet, we have some flats, but as soon as you turnContinue reading “3/9/20 Training Update: Not the King of the Hills”
11/11/19: Double Full Monty
I moved to Montpelier, Vermont, in the summer of 2014. At the time, Montpelier had a weird bike/recreation path that ran less than a mile between Main Street and Granite Street. There was another portion that ran from Taylor Street and across Bailey Avenue to Junction Road. That portion was maybe a mile and aContinue reading “11/11/19: Double Full Monty”
