Today I wanted to play a quick game of Good Decision, Bad Decision. Over the weekend my parents came in to town and took Ellie, Brindy, and me out for dinner. To Start Off: Chocolate Martinis were a good decision! Tiny chocolate shotglasses filled with liquor were a good decision! [...]
I'm not going to wow you today with my tales of triumph. I am not training for a half marathon, but I am still training to be able to actually run a 5k. I have a renewed sense of energy and spirits in regards to 2FNS. Last week I worked my butt off trying to work off [...]

Basically, here is how things went for my 3.1 miles... Just the excitement, energy, adrenaline of being [...]
I am a Victor. So this past weekend, as you all know, the B.A.A and the city of Boston hosted the Boston Marathon. Marathon Monday is my favorite holiday in Boston. It means a day off from work and the traffic on the train is a good excuse not to run errands. It has always [...]
