Hello, hello, hello. Remember when I said we didn’t get any snow in that big storm? Well you can scratch that out, apply a little white-out and scribble over it because we’ve gotten a couple nice storms since then up here in New England. Winter showed up after all and left me with some fluffy, white water particles to move. It’s also pretty chilly. Dropping down into the single digits Fahrenheit this weekend. I don’t mind. It just puts a little ice in the beard for these long runs. We did a 2 hour long run on Sunday morning and it was -9 F when we

How’s everybody doing? We made it to the end of January. Even though my wife insisted we come home from Phoenix a day early to avoid the big East Coast storm, we got nothing here northwest of Boston. No snow at all! I think she probably was just sick of me. Who can blame her! I’m training away again. I’m healthy and feel great. I sat down with my coach and talked over the marathon and now we have our sights set on turning in a good time at Boston. Like I said I think my training was too inconsistent for Phoenix. I also

This week I have a chat with Matt about his experience recording the MarathonBQ audio book for Audible. I haven’t got the green light from audible yet. They are still processing the finished product – which is a good sign because if they have issues with audio production they get right back to you. I was interested in chatting with Matt about what it was like to be on his side of the table recording my words and about the conversational story telling medium that podcasting has become. Podcast have become, or maybe they always were, the glue in

On this… I guess you could call it a ‘show’…we chat about amateur endurance sports from the viewpoint of a participant. I’m not a coach. I’m not an elite. I am a student of long distance running and training and I do have a bit of a passion for it. I also try to be a good s

I was going to do a whole bit about the wild reindeer catching the zombie virus, but since it’s the holidays I won’t mess with you. Today we have a really good talk with Bobby Gill from Cupid’s Undie Run about his adventure. I’m always a bit hesitant when a publicist reaches out to me about someone or something. I always worry about doing the same interview as 10 other podcasters. That really doesn’t add any value to you folks. But, I resonated with Bobby and really enjoyed our chat. He does this ‘aww-shucks we just got lucky’ routine but you can tell there’s some focus and talent in the background for him

In the first section I’m going to talk a bit about flexibility and range of motion. In the second section I’m going to talk about Dr. Carol Dweck’s book, “Mindsets”. …It’s been a good couple weeks since we last chatted. I am recovered from my rolled ankle and running well.

I know it’s not a global holiday but I’m sure most of you will know that this week was a national holiday in the US called Thanksgiving.  It’s a one day holiday, typically the last Thursday in November.  Since it’s a Thursday holiday it pretty much kills a whole week of productivity in the business world. I will typically not travel on the week, instead I’ll spend the time loosely in my office working on miscellaneous stuff.  Many people will take the whole week off, but for me it’s actually easy duty because I don’t need to travel and no one in bothering you. The schools give their students a brief break and extended families pull together from around the country to spend a day together.  This makes it a bit of a travel nightmare for business people with all the s

That little bit adds up.  That little handful of sand becomes a mountain to your perseverance.It’s the same concept with time and money.  Anything can be done

How are you? I’m great. Fantastic. Nothing to complain about. Full of joy and abundance. Which, if I’m honest with you, takes a lot of work. It’s officially the end of summer in New England. The nights are clear and cold. The mornings are crisp like a fresh, clean blanket. The sun sets later and comes up later, noticeably each day. When I was a youth in school I would hate this time of year. School starting meant the end of a summers’ long and languid lethargy. The weather would turn but not enough to be interesting. There wouldn’t be any snow to sled on or build with for weeks. The days would be short, dim, cold, windy, rainy and filled with work. Now, Budd

Then you get to whack it repeatedly with large pointy metal bits and stack it all up to dry.  It’s just a great combination of effort, utility skill and art.  You should see me swing a maul.
