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 [...]
A cyclist among the runners!
Everyone knows the saying: no one can make changes in your life except you. Well, all of a sudden, this one little saying has become all too real to me. I am now officially into my 50′s, and working in a physical therapy type atmosphere, with everyone at least 15-20 yrs younger than myself, I [...]
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 [...]
NYC Marathon Video
This was just sent to me from my good friend Chris Sequenzia. He is running the New York City Marathon this weekend, which will be his fourth marathon that he will have completed. He just arrived in NYC today with his family, and it looks like he came upon a video that he just sent [...]

Fill ‘er up!!!!!
Fill’er up It seems to me that many of my childhood memories occurred while sitting in the back seat of the family car. I’m not sure why but I learned a lot about life from that vantage point. One of these memories I recall was “fill’er up”. Whenever we pulled into a gas station, I [...]
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 [...]
Rajon Rondo Elbow Injury
First thing is first… I hate the Celtics. Not so much of anything in particular about the organization, but probably more because they have been a roadblock for my team (Miami Heat) for the whole year. Actually all teams in Boston seem to be a roadblock for all of my teams. I just don’t like [...]
