Pile Driver

I am often asked how the mood is here at camp Egg. Two triathletes, two competitive minds, two type AAA people and a 6 year old. Some think it’s thick with competition, but I have to break the news….. Camp Egg is likely one of the most fun households on the planet. Laughter and wrestling [...]

Preview

We’ve had a taste of spring here in the Northeast. A dip in the warm ocean, a sprinkle of sunshine on our backs. I opened my eyes, looked to the sun and I smiled. I knew it wasn’t here to stay, I knew it would not stay long. But while it was here I drew [...]

Run Like the Wind

“Run like the wind” my friend Jen wrote to me today. I admitted my fear to her. I have been afraid to run my cruise intervals because I am afraid my Achilles Tendon is going to snap. However there is no pain, no soreness nor any indication that something like that would happen. It is [...]

Glory Days

Week two of the current build complete. Running miles to 41.94 Total training hours are at 18. While that is all well and good, you can run all of the miles you want and train the most hours of anyone, but it is what you do with those miles and hours that matters. Given that, [...]

Resistance

What do you do when you come face to face with resistance? Do you back down, or do you take the step up on the ladder? Do you run away from it or look it straight in the eye. If you look it straight in the eye … is it with anger or respect? Resistance [...]

The Peaceful Warrior

We have resurfaced into the prettiest days of winter here in Rochester. Temperatures are in the mid 20′s to 30′s, the snow is perfect form snowball fights and snowman making. The roads are clear and the earth is covered in a beautiful blanket of white. If you look towards a forest at night, it no [...]

Eighteen Holes In Your Own Mind

There is the story of a golfer, we will call him Golfer Joe. Golfer Joe quit golf for seven years. Previous to quitting golf for seven years, Golfer Joe was no one special on the green. He was your average Joe. But Golfer Joe had a dream. His dream was to improve his average, which [...]
