It has been years since I have posted on this blog but I feel the need to put down some thoughts prior to the Boston Marathon this year. As many know last year was a total disaster. I had been injured much of the winter and went into the race not changing my goals which […]
Broad Street Run – Race Report
The Broad Street Run is the last of the classic Philadelphia races. It is a 10 mile race that runs, as the name indicates, straight down Broad Street. It has also become the biggest race in Philadelphia with over 40,000 runners thus making it a bucket list race for many. With such a large field […]
The 2014 Boston Marathon!
It is hard to believe but the 2014 Boston Marathon has come and gone. What a great weekend it was! The weekend started out on a down note as the train from Trenton NJ, to Boston was delayed over three hours. Rather than wait we made the decision to get our money back for […]

Final Training Run in the Books!
So my final training run before Boston here in Bucks County, PA is done. We soon leave for Bean-town and the big race! I believe I have done all I can to train for this. My coach, Dr. Jason Karp, put together a good plan and I believe I did a good job executing that […]

Boston Training – New Coach, New Plan .. So Far So Good!
So starting with New Year’s Day I have a new coach and a new training plan for Boston. The reasons for the change were fairly simply. For one, I simply felt like I needed a change. Secondly, Johnny Marino Advanced Sports Chiropractic while an awesome coach, is going through so much, including recovering from surgery […]
Boston Training Week One!
Week one had it all. It started with snow and brutally cold temperatures and ended with temperatures well over 60F. I had to decide on a new training plan and ended up asking Dr. Johnny Marino to help me once again. Johnny has been going through so much recently that I wasn’t sure he would […]
