When I last left you I was in Warwick Rhode Island visiting the Bishop Hendricken team and getting ready for the Brown University Invitational.  I went to Brown, and ...]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:09:00 +0000
So it's been a while since I have been back in Rhode Island.  Since graduation I have only been back for 2 days and it was over the summer.  My trip back this time, however, was for twice as long and right in the heart of cross country season...]]> Thu, 06 Nov 2008 18:02:00 +0000
So while at the Glory days Invitational I noticed a few things that should be pointed out.   1st) People in the greater D.C. area are pretty knowledgeable about cross country/track and field. ...]]> Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:48:00 +0000
So from Florida I had to make my way back up the east coast to get to the Glory Days Invitational in Virginia.  On my way up I decide to visit Watuaga High School in Boone North Carolina.  Lets keep track here, I just visited Brian Deals old ...]]> Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:32:00 +0000
My last stop in Florida was to the Holy Trinity Academy.  Located just outside of Orlando in Melbourne Florida the Holy Trinity team gets up to run every morning to beat the heat.  This is great, and I am sure more schools do it then I would ...]]> Tue, 21 Oct 2008 14:44:00 +0000
So my adventure in Florida begins in Jacksonville where I visit Episcopal High. I visited The Golden Eagles the day before the FLRunners Invite. They were doing an easy run to shake out before the race, so I jumped in not worrying about the fact th...]]> Sat, 18 Oct 2008 00:26:00 +0000

So my trip down the Eastern Sea Board begins outside of Atlanta Georgia at South Forsyth High.  You might know South Forsyth as the high school that brought you the one and only Brian Deal, our own West Coast Driver.  Being my first trip sout...]]> Mon, 13 Oct 2008 19:52:00 +0000
Hey Ya'll (Note, I don't know how to spell "Ya'll," but you get the idea). So sorry for the hiatus from blogging. I have been driving back up the east coast and for the last few days I have been without internet, but I'm back! So lets see, where w...]]> Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:13:00 +0000

Preface: This is going to be one of my longer blog posts of the season and it will give you a real, no holds barred look at the life of a long hauler.  This may not be for people who lack testicular fortitude.  Or who can't read, because th...]]> Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:59:00 +0000
I told the New Fairfield guys that I ran with that the first thing I would mention was that they took me on the hardest run I have been on yet with a team.  This isn't posing a challenge to any other schools, mind you all, it is just a statement. ...]]> Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:30:00 +0000
The next few schools I am going to be visiting are all teams that contacted me after my time spent at GMRC.  Hall High, in West Hartford Connecticut, is the first of these schools.  I fondly remember the Hall team from camp, and thankfully th...]]> Tue, 23 Sep 2008 23:07:00 +0000
I thought about making some sort of reference to being nervous, like I was about to race, because this was my first meet of the year.  Then I remembered that I made that same joke for the first High School visit I did and it wouldn't be very funny...]]> Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:04:00 +0000
The title to this post was going to be "Shenendehowa High School: A look at New York's number one team, just don't tell them that" because when I asked how it felt to be the top ranked team in the state a couple of the guys shushed me and said "don't e...]]> Thu, 18 Sep 2008 01:43:00 +0000
So this whole track workout thing is starting to become a habit.  After leaving Skan I drive up I90 to Lockport New York, just outside of Buffalo.  I navigate my truck off to the side of the track and walk inside the gym to introduce myself t...]]> Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:10:00 +0000
My second visit of the season was to the former stomping ground of Jonathan Riley, Skaneateles New York.  Coach Reed has coached a number of great runners, including Riley, and teams while at Skan.  Coach Reed has his athletes focus on qualit...]]> Thu, 11 Sep 2008 02:12:00 +0000
My heart was racing to the point I could feel it in my ears.  My palms were sweaty, but my hands were cold.  I was well hydrated, but it seemed like I hadn't had a drink for days.  Was I about to race, you might ask?  "No," I would ...]]> Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:25:00 +0000
So my last camp, Running Works in Canadenisis Pa, was an interesting one for me.  Like GMRC I had lots of help from Jon at Nike Plus/Human Race and from Chris, the midwest XC Truck Driver.  Since Chris was so on top of his stuff at this camp,...]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:33:00 +0000
