The Running Griffin

Thanks to our running club, Thirsty Irish Runners @ThirstyIrish, for awarding us the 2025 Philanthropy Award!

My oldest daughter Caroline is training for her first half-marathon. So when she asked if I wanted to run five miles today when I was done with work there was only one right answer! #runchat #halfmarathoner #family #runningfamily #getoutdoors

Beautiful message of humanity, kindness and the need for basic human understanding. #kindness #runchat #humanity #iloveyou #makeamericafriendlyagain #MAFA #running

Today, I saw Richard as I finished my workout in front of the local coffee shop wearing his Make America Friendly Again (MAFA) tee-shirt and he handed me this card.

Richard is a man in his 80s who walks around the town I live in flashing the sign language sign of “I love you” to cars driving by and to those out walking or running.

Running on the open roads as the fog lifts off this morning. #saturdayvibes #goodmorning #morningrun #runchat

Always love when a road race is just down the road. Yesterday it was about a seven minute drive over to the starting line of the Raynham Knights of Columbus 5 Miler held in Raynham, MA. Read the recap here: runninggriffin.com/2026/03/23/rac… #runchat #running #raynham #recap

Raynham Knights of Columbus 5 Miler finished up before we’re off to see our daughter perform in Mamma Mia this afternoon! #runchat #running #abba #mammamia #raynham

Friday morning sunrise run through the Seaport. Hope you have a great weekend ahead! #sunrise #seaport #boston #fridayvibes #runchat

A little chill back in the air on this morning’s run and a thin layer of ice still on Carver’s Pond. Hope to see warm, springtime temps coming back soon enough! #runchat #sundayvibes #getoutside #carverspond #running

This warm weather is making the running so much nicer! Really hope we have winter in our rear view mirror soon enough! #spring #boston #zakim #runboston #runchat

Early morning train into the city today to pound the pavement before heading into the office. Warmer weather is feeling good and makes the miles pass by a bit easier. #boston #esplanade #makewayforducklings #bostonma #runboston

Second run of the day paid some dividends! #money #rich #dollarbills #runchat #dividends

Feels so good to have some warmer temps and see the snow melting. Perfect morning for a run! #plymouth #ocean #plymouthma #runchat #running #daylightsavingstime

A good reminder on this morning’s run… #love #allyouneedislove #kindness #runchat #running

First outdoor run since the Blizzard of 2026 hit! Still so much snow and some icy spots out there but, man, did that fresh air feel pretty darn good! #blizzard2026 #snow #runchat #running #newengland #getoutdoors #freshair
