Since 11/9/2007
 A Kapalin
I began running seriously after I got in a motorcycle accident in 2001. I was laid up for quite some time, and my girlfriend at the time decided to leave me for a guy who she could "do things" with... one of these included running. What started as a mode of spite evolved into a meditation therapy after the break-up. After dating a marathon trainer and not understanding her insanity, I showed up to her race just to see her body fail (at mile 25.5) and watch her leave in an ambulance. I vowed to take on the race in her honor the following year (2005), which I finished in a painful fashion. I have been a runner ever since, and have been slowly working on my personal best times. Though I am not crazy enough to run marathons anymore (I just don't hate myself/my body enough), I am in love with the half-marathon, and would like to run one in every state. _______________________________________________ I just finished my 3rd marathon (Grandma's in 2009), and I think I'm officially hooked. Someone help me-- running is controlling my life. PR'd again for my 4th marathon as I came back to Saginaw, MI to run in Carrollton for another year. 3:52!

Hi! I have not ever been part of a running club, but have been thinking about trying it out. I'm training for my first marathon, and would love to get in some long runs with others. Thanks for getting in touch! I will definitely go check out your web site.

Hey A! Good to hear from you! If you haven't already, check out my blog ( (Click for the Link ...) I have been busy running, weight lifting, shoveling lots of snow, and playing in a basketball league so far this "offseason" to stay in shape. I just ran the Illinois Fat Ass 50k Sunday. My time was 4h 47min. I think I got at least 3rd place. Final results aren't in yet, but it was a tough race. Lots of snow on the course, and cold temps had my bottles frozen for the whole race. Had to take the tops off to get a drink. I have had the P90X for a year now and haven't started it. I swore that I was going to after the New Year, but too many things are going on to make the switch right now, so I'm going to stay with my old routine until I get some extra time to change over.
How about you? What's new??

WDYDT for Saturday, September 5, 2009
I ran solid 7:30s for the Milford Labor Day 30k... it was a wild race, and I'm hurting tonight. It was a lot of fun though-- got to have a couple beers with the Godfather afterward.
After thought: Sushi the night before the race-- bad idea?

WDYDT for Sunday, August 30, 2009
I haven't held the same passion for running lately, after my last marathon. My training has become lax, and I haven't been motivated to sign up for any races coming up. I ran the NO PR 10k today in Brighton @ 44:44. I have a few more this year that I've been considering...
I think I might go on break.

WDYDT for Saturday, August 15, 2009
Training has been crazy lately since my last marathon. I've been reluctant to do any really long training runs, and have been TRYING to take it easy. Did around 20 miles this week, plus about 50 miles on the bike. I might be putting down another 10 this morning, and call it good until Monday. =)

WDYDT for Wednesday, July 29, 2009
I ran my 4th marathon on Jul 26th, 2009-- and it was my fastest yet. I had the race of my life. The fans were great. I felt really good. I had a person to drive me home afterward.
I went on a crazy bike ride on Thursday, broke a crank, and had to finish the last 5 of 40 miles with one leg. That leg was very angry by the end of the marathon, but I left it all on the course. It was outstanding! Maybe I'll shave another 20 mins off of my next one. ha!
