Had a fantastic year! Started with a very strong 41:59 5 mile PR at the Fred Lebow Classic (Hopefully I'll be able to run it this year to see if I can improve on that), then half marathon PR's at both Bronx (1:56:55) and Brooklyn (1:56:42), and ended the year with my marathon PR of [...]

My bloody sock
December 31, 2008 – Posted in: injurySnapped a picture of my bloody sock before I threw it away after my rough run on Monday morning. Definitely wanted this in the archives! Blister is still pretty raw, hoping for improvement by Friday, when I'm supposed to do my long run...
Shin splints gone, but still had a bad run :(
December 29, 2008 – Posted in: injury running UncategorizedFirst off, this article really spoke to me, as I know I'm carrying around at least 5 pounds of excess fat these days. I won't know for sure until I get home from my vacation and can weigh in, but I feel fat. I'm sure it caused the shin splints that ruined my run yesterday. [...]
Weather? Perfect. Run? Horrible
December 28, 2008 – Posted in: injury runningArrived in Florida last night. After 3 days cooped up in the car with 3 other sick people, and 4 days (since Christmas Eve) of eating like a pig, I was looking forward to the warm, sunny weather, and getting in a nice warm weather run. I've probably gained 5 pounds of fat with all [...]

Cold and icy week
December 24, 2008 – Posted in: Austin Marathon 2009 East River Park runningBeen too lazy to write lately, so this is an attempt to catch up over my last several runs. Sorry for the length! -------------------- Been very cold and stormy here in the northeast this past week. In the last week, we had snow on (last) Tuesday night, then had snow followed by sleet and rain [...]
Skipped it
December 20, 2008 – Posted in: UncategorizedDecided to just skip the Ted Corbitt 15k this morning. With the nasty weather, they ended up changing it to a fun run. Also, I already have my 9 races for Marathon eligibility, so there was really no need to run. With the slippery conditions, I could not have gotten the quality run I was [...]
