by Byline to Finish Line
posted April 25, 2011 at 1:13pm
The Cadbury Creme Eggs were always the prized possession in the Easter basket. Others could have their “Peeps” and jellybeans. I treasured the chocolate eggs which contained liquid sugar, all wrapped neatly in a colorful foil package. In fact, I loved...more

by Fast at Forty
posted April 20, 2011 at 4:59pm
Even though I eat three meals a day, I constantly snack. This habit began during high school and was so pervasive my mother would often tell me that I grazed like a cow and to please close the refrigerator door that nothing new materialized in the five mi...more

My mother does not wash floors
by Byline to Finish Line
posted April 5, 2011 at 2:13pm
My mother and I continue to agree to disagree about a stark fact of reality from my childhood. Never did I ever witness my mother cleaning a floor. Never saw a mop in her hand or watched her carry a bucket of soapy water to the kitchen or to either of the...more

This is spring? Surviving a cold March
by Byline to Finish Line
posted March 28, 2011 at 1:19pm
SPRING!
OK, not so much in Buffalo, or climates like ours, where March snowstorms happen and temperatures fluctuate between warm and, well, butt cold. And snow and butt cold returned to western New York this week. Whining about the weather never did a da...more

posted March 24, 2011 at 3:25pm
Where would be a good place to puke?
It was a thought that crossed my mind during the fifth of six 800-meter intervals on the treadmill this morning. Would I have time and opportunity to rush into the locker room? Were there any trash cans around? When d...more

posted March 23, 2011 at 9:50pm
Every once a while the haters rear their ugly heads. These are people who love to openly contradict all the things of value in my life. They doubt me. They tell me my passions are pointless. They love to enumerate reasons to fail and dig themselves into a...more

There are times when things go wrong.

Celebrating the first bike ride of the season
by Byline to Finish Line
posted March 16, 2011 at 12:48pm
The grand total of distance was about 8.7 miles. The elevation profile wasn’t really worth nothing and things like time and miles per hour are still unknown to me. Actually, the only reason I know that we went 8.7 miles is because Mark announced it with...more

posted March 15, 2011 at 1:47pm
Reviewing the workouts he had given me for the week, I told my coach that Monday’s swim workout was going to be hard. He had assigned me 400 yard sprints — at 20 seconds faster than last week’s pace.
