Yesterday was the first time I’ve participated in a race since the San Francisco Marathon in July 2009. So here’s the blow by blow. …the temps were extremely low. A cold front came through Saturday night, and when I got to the start of the race, the temps were 33 deg. St. Pete, FL??? 33 [...]
My “Unofficial Race”
Ivy Lake/Suncoast 13.1 mile run by gtodd1977 at Garmin Connect – Splits. Last Thursday, I had a very unexpected run….Usually, I run at 5:00-5:30 in the morning, but Kerry had to go somewhere around 9:30 am, and she was taking our youngest daughter with her. Because of that, I was able to take advantage of [...]
At some point I’ve got to finish painting that fence…
This morning I ran 12 miles with my buddy Chris. It was rather cold, started around 45 degrees, but ended up at about 36 degrees at the end of the run, and was quite uncomfortable. As we finished the run, I ran by the side of my house and glanced at my fence. It caught [...]

How The Tides Have Turned….
I feel like I’ve finally come full circle. It’s been about 6 years (approx. 2005) since I started running, but in August of 2009, I basically was forced to stop running because I got pretty sick for about a year. But since starting back running at the end of 2010 to present time,I have been [...]
A Run At the WhiteHouse
This was by far my most memorable, grueling “run” for the year. I just finished a 5.5 mile run in a town called WhiteHouse in Westmoreland, Jamaica. This by far was the most challenging, yet most entertaining run I have had in quite some time. We are currently staying at a house that is [...]
Running The Sahara
I had the excuse machine ready. This morning, I did not want to get up and go for a run. I wanted to enjoy sleeping in, and being lazy. But truthfully, whenever I don’t run first thing every morning, the chances of me getting a run in are slim to none. It was round 2 [...]
Back to normalcy…
It’s 7:30 pm on Tuesday, and as I’m writing this blog entry, I feel quite energized. Last night, I went to my bed at 10:00 pm, which is about 2-3 hours earlier than I have for the last two months. The NBA playoffs are over, and besides a day left of hockey, there is nothing [...]
