There she was, flying along in the near-dark of the shaded twilight trail, minding her own business, when, out of nowhere, something grabbed her, then blasted her through the air just as rapidly and unexpectedly. She responded valiantly, reflexively, with a defensive sting, her last act in life. It was all over. Just before. There […]
I raced Jack’s Generic Triathlon this year. Here’s my lessons learned from this sprint triathlon, including my thoughts on the race overall.
What do you do for fun? Here are a few of my favorites: things, places, and people. Let them know I recommended them. Maybe I’ll see you there soon!

Progress so far toward the goals I set for 2018

There I was in the foyer of my home, hot and sweaty after a bicycle ride in the late-spring heat, searching for the reason to continue. I knew I wouldn’t keep cycling 3 days a week, so I chose to enter a triathlon: I’d wanted to be a triathlete since childhood. Since then, I’ve discovered continuous improvement, […]
There I was at work. I stood up from my chair. It was brutal. Knee pain. My knees felt like someone had driven a nail from the outside of each one, directly through the hinge of each knee, toward my body’s midline. The right knee was worse, but either one would be sufficient to convince me […]
I chose to become a runner in middle age, as part of a circuitous journey to adult fitness. Here’s the path I followed. It was more about not quitting than being brilliant, efficient, or elegant.
