  • Big Recon Around Portland

    I've been running around Portland for a while now, and I've noticed all sorts of little trails that go around the peninsula. It's hard to see exactly where they meet each other from a Google map, so I decided to just wander around the edge of town until I figured it out. The weather was nice, and I took lots of pictures.
  • Now We Live in Maine

    It may come as a surprise to you, but we moved again. Yes, yes, I know. We had just gotten to Burlington this past January, so why a sudden move to Portland, Maine? More to the point, why do we move so much in the first place? Well, there are several reasons. But the main one is chasing a better job. I've had lots of questions about this, so I'll try to explain why we've been so many places in such a short time.
  • 69. GMAA Equinox Trail Race, 2012

    This was race number 69. _heh heh_… Anyway, it was in Charlotte, VT. _(Pronounced Shar-LOT in Veromont.)_ It was a trail run out in the boonies, but it was a really nice day. There were only two problems. First, the previous day's rain created some muddy spots. Second, Cara hadn't trained up. Her job is pretty physical, so she was hoping that it would be enough to see her through.
  • Long Runs are Longer When You're Lost.

    Today's run was supposed to be a long one. I was shooting for 8 or 9 miles in the Harbison State Forest. The good news is that I succeeded in making the distance. The bad news is that my route was nothing like what I had planned. I was lost, several times, in the woods, alone.
  • 58. Make My Day 12K, 2011

    I've run quite a few races, so it's not often that I get to do something for the very first time. This one was held in Harbison State Forest, and it was my very first trail run... ever. I've run through the woods, but it was always on flat ground. This one was an actual trail, with tree roots and everything.
