Wednesday, May 5, 8am. Mile 1.72 of an 8 mile run through Griffith Park.These days I'm paying attention to form - trying to find that spot where my cadence is what I want it to be, my pace is what I want it to be, my feet are hitting the ground…

Wednesday morning 8am, April 28, 2010. In between storms, along the LA River. 6.56 miles. The storm clouds, the concrete and the grey gave everything a very cold, urban look. There's a certain alone-ness to these morning runs. The traffic…

The last time I actually celebrated a birthday was when I turned 36, back in 1996, 14 years ago. I was drunk, as always. My buddies took me to Jumbo's Clown Room, the skankiest of all Hollywood strip clubs, where Courtney Love got her start…
I love this photo for the obvious reasons: the juxtaposition of the powerful, beautiful runner on the right and the man in the wheel chair looking over his shoulder at her as he passes behind her in the opposite direction. He's not an LA Marathon…

I've been to this place twice. The first time was during a family vacation in the 70s. I remembered it as cold, desolate, and stunningly beautiful. I remembered enormous driftwood - not just a piece of wood but the entire tree. I remembered…

Thursday. Welcome to ArizonaIt had been a tough few weeks. Work stress, constant fights to get anything done, a drunk driver totaling my brand new car, insurance companies, bills bills bills. The real world was hitting back hard, and I was…
