And the Last Known Survivor Stalks His Prey in the Night

I ran for twenty min­utes straight on Thursday, which prob­ably doesn’t sound like much to most of you, but I’m a smoker with a desk job, so it’s an accom­plish­ment to me. My awe­some dad and I are going to run the Falmouth Road Race together come 2011, so I have a real incen­tive to keep picking my feet up off the ground. ♠ Continue reading…

Brutalizing the Carnival

We Bostonians get a spe­cial annual treat every spring – the local suburb of Revere, renowned for its ya-​doods, sketchy strip clubs, and beach lit­tered with garbage, hosts a spring car­nival in the movie the­ater parking lot. It’s simply…magical. ♠ Continue reading…

Do Couch-​To-​5K With PositivelyBleak!

The sun is just starting to peek out here in Boston after expe­ri­encing some epic weeks of rain, and it’s giving me the itch to get out and move around.
