What self-respecting Massachusetts native declares a 2-hour delay due to “cold” and says “Let’s wait until the sun comes out” before opening school? Sorry… I probably rant on this a little too much this morning. The good news is that Dunkin was open and that New York Jets Pro Bowler Jamal Adams likely listens to … Continue reading "Podcast #133 – Ordinary Daily, Jan 31, 2019"

A little snow on the ground today… maybe there’s a cold weather run in my future sometime. But not yet… not yet. 5 miles today will be on the treadmill though.

A busy day at the Ordinary Marathoner office yesterday, and promising to be another one today. I do a little mental self-diagnosis on why I might be feeling a little anxiety over the daily podcasts and look forward to all the great ideas we have coming down the pike.

Winding down a pretty good month of January – hope you all had a great weekend. Gonna focus on the positives this week – Ordinary Marathon registration is off to a great start, I’m down 3.5lbs in January, diet has been great, training has been solid (if not perfect.) Let’s get after it this week!

A short one on this 50-degree January day… how necessary is the 20-mile training run leading up to a marathon? Cuz I’m not doing one.

Just when I thought I was getting this early morning routine down…

Yesterday, my local city of Springfield, MA announced it’s inaugural marathon event, The Hoop City Marathon! This is exciting for me on many levels – a local event that won’t be very expensive or difficult to travel to and from (I can practically walk to the starting line) being directed in part by our local … Continue reading "Podcast #125 – Ordinary Daily, Jan 22, 2019"

A mixed weekend – great on a personal level, as I got two good workouts in, including a 14-mile run when I was supposed to be doing 13. No, this year’s Super Bowl did not turn out to be the match-up I wanted. But as I watched the games, I realized what this sport has … Continue reading "Podcast #124 – Ordinary Daily, Jan 21, 2019"
