Misfitrunner: June 2014
http://misfitrunner.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 23, 2014. Haley's Team Twilight Event. June 21 , 2014. The team starts preparation for this day as soon as clean up from the last event has ended. You would think a year is enough time to plan and execute and event which you have done seven times before. Those 365 days fly by and life also gets in the way. Before you know it you are 90 days from the event starting and you think you have nothing accomplished. This year as the course was set up and the bulky start finish line scaffolding was e...

Friday, June 14, 2013. What is in your Bag? What is in your Bag? As the title of my Blog suggests I am kind of the out of place runner. I do not carry all the cool gear with me when I go to a race. I am usually bare bones when it comes to race day. I train with just a Hammer Nutrition Bottle in my hand. That is on most days. If I am going less than 10 miles I might just have me. That being said what I bring with me to a race is most likely what you have in your bags. On (always with me).

Tuesday, October 14, 2014. Army Ten Miler Weekend. Army Ten Miler Weekend. 31 December 2010 the MisFits woke up like any other day in Kandahar. Lace em up go out run early ,change go visit the local population while on patrol and guard what was FOB Wilson. One MisFit SGT Michael Beckerman had gone on to his Sapper brothers and was on patrol. By mid-morning that day he was taken from us and we all were changed. People say time will bring closure and that is true for some not for all. In 2011 I signed up f...

Misfitrunner: December 2013
http://misfitrunner.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 10, 2013. 2013 I laced up for only the second time to run a race in New Jersey. Yes it may sound strange. I was born and raised in Jersey City. I left when I was 22 and was nowhere near a runner at that time. The other thing keeping me from racing was the lack of popularity of the local race at the time. This race is named for:. This year was the 14. Edition of the race. I signed up thinking it would be a small local race. Wow was I surprised when I went to packet pick up on the 27.

Misfitrunner: Tri to Tri
http://misfitrunner.blogspot.com/2014/08/tri-to-tri.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Journeys take you where you let them. When I first got hooked on endurance events I did not know where I was headed. I thought the 5K was a daunting task (even though I had been doing that distance and more forever). When you are new to the actual sport of running and hear 5K, you tend to over think what 5000 meters could be. Once that distance is conquered you want more. Some jump straight to the half-marathon (my favorite distance), while others take the natural step to 10K.

Misfitrunner: August 2013
http://misfitrunner.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 18, 2013. What drives you to sign up for a Race? Well after a little over a month of listening to fellow runners and weekend warriors I can finish this post. I know as I get to looking at the calendar for running I have to put an overlay on it to match my work schedule. My work schedule and the fitness training there most times compliments my running training however, there are times where the Army has me doing crazy things the week of my big events. What do I get for running in your race?

Misfitrunner: November 2013
http://misfitrunner.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 23, 2013. After running the Country Music Half Marathon with the Wounded Warrior Project, we sat at Dave and Busters to discuss the run in the rain and future events. The hosts of the event were the Wounded Warrior Projects physical health and wellness coordinators, Chris (Kuntry) and Johnna. It was at this lunch that the first thoughts of a bigger event were talked about. This is the 10. Year since the Wounded Warrior Project was started. Here is a blurb from their site: (. When I cam...

Misfitrunner: May 2014
http://misfitrunner.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 25, 2014. After a couple months away due to an extremely busy time at work I am back. I started training for what will be a pretty busy fall for me. I will start with a late summer Triathlon in Asbury Park NJ. The TriRock event on August 24. I have gotten into the Marine Corps Marathon and the Army 10 Miler both in October. I just need an Air Force run now to complete the services. The end of March I competed in the Splash Mash and Dash Triathlon at the Arena Club in Churchville, MD. Ok back ...

Sunday, July 21, 2013. Harford County Farm Fair 5K. Harford County Farm Fair 5K. Bel Air, Md. When you sign up for races with no care for the venue, you wind up with pleasant surprises. I signed up for this race just to get another under my belt for the year. The venue was 15 miles from my Apartment so I left early so I could get to packet pick up and warm up. The fair does not actually start for a few days and this is the kickoff event for it. This is my third race in the area and my second in Maryland.
