The Running Griffin

The Running Griffin Runner of and . Member of Thirsty Irish Runners. 2025 Nuun Hydration Ambassador. 2025 Alter Ego Running Ambassador.

Squirrel's Nut Butter Adventure Team. I am a runner who has realized the joy of running. Based out of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, it is my hope that this journal of my running experiences and features about the running community helps to inspire you to get out and pound the pavement, perhaps embrace a healthier lifestyle or even join me at the starting line of a road race you have seen featured here on the site. After all, the running community is one of the most supportive circle of friends around so let's support one another in our running journeys! I am a nine time marathon finisher (Boston [2], Buffalo [2], New York City, Hartford, Marine Corps, Cleveland and Providence [virtual]), have run several half-marathons and countless other races of a variety of distances. Look forward to seeing you at a starting line!

"Being nice to people is incredibly simple- google- "the Golden Rule" if you need a refresher- but somehow we've forgotten how to do it.

There are thousands of different paths to happiness, and hundreds of books citing thousands of different studies on how to be happy. My own informal, unscientific, study of people I've met who appear to be pretty happy has shown that not being a jerk to other people is as good as any for them."

-Brendan Leonard from "Bears Don't Care About Your Problems"

I signed up for a half-marathon that I have never run before and will be heading down to Westport, Massachusetts for the Horseneck Half-Marathon. Westport is an absolutely beautiful coastal town right on the ocean and I am excited to tackle a new half-marathon in such a nice spot.

The race will take place on May 17th at 9AM and what's better than a half-marathon along the ocean? Looks like this is a nicely supported half-marathon and comes complete with a post-race party at the beach following the run.

If you're looking to run a half-marathon in May, join me at the Horseneck Half-Marathon. Click here to register today!

The Horseneck Half & 3.5 Miler is on Sunday May 17, 2026. It includes the following events: Half Marathon and 3.5 Mile Run.

Beautiful winter day for an afternoon 10K around town.

If you are a homeowner, please consider going outside and shoveling your sidewalks to help keep walkers and runner safe.

Drove through the snow covered roads and snow squalls on the way to this morning’s 5 miler but the bike path conditions were just too risky to start the year off with. Made a game-time decision and decided to find a coffee shop and head back home instead.

Are you planning on giving Dry January a try? After having gone sober for now more than three years, I applaud your efforts and am here for any encouragement you might need. Cutting out alcohol has made a big impact upon my life both physically and mentally and thanks to good craft beer brands that are out there, going dry is definitely something I would always recommend checking out!

Athletic Brewing Company is one of the pioneers when it comes to craft non-alcoholic beer brewing. They have been a mainstay for a bit now and you can find their cans in many restaurants, bars, arenas and more which makes it a bit easier to go dry but not give up the love of a good tasting beer while remaining alcohol-free. I joined the Athletic Brewing members club which gives you both access to beers that others might not be able to find along with some nice discounts off their beer when shipped directly to your home. If you haven’t ever purchased from Athletic online before, you can take advantage of a nice 50% discount off your first purchase right now!

To shop Athletic’s great offerings of non-alcoholic beer, click here and order your brews today!

Athletic Brewing is pioneering a non-alcoholic craft beer revolution. Enjoy our refreshing brews without sacrificing your lifestyle or good taste.
