Spring marathon mania this time of the year.  Boston last weekend, London and More (almost) this weekend, New Jersey next weekend, and tons others happening at this time of the year.  So, figured I needed to get into the action too. It's official, I've dropped down the necessary $149 bucks (registration plus processing fee), and I'm [...]

Wow, it was hot hot hot this weekend!  Managed to get a nice bike ride in before it got hot on Saturday, and then waited the heat out today and went out for a run in the relatively cool evening. First, the bike ride.  Was up at 6:30 yesterday and out of the house by [...]

After getting a so-so run in on Tuesday night, my intention was to get two more good efforts in Wed and Thurs.  I'd have preferred to bike ride, but it was still simply too cold for me after work. So, on Wed, I went to the gym for a swim.  Half hour in the pool, [...]

If you run and blog and are in our fine New York City, let's meet up on May 14 - Go here for more details!

Was going to write this last night, but I happened to be watching the Mets game, which turned my stomach and put me in a really bad mood.  I'm getting over it now... Did my typical lower manhattan 6.5 mile loop run last night.  I thought the weather was great.  Cool at 53 degrees, somewhat [...]

Got home from my vacation on Thursday night with the intention of getting in a good bike, run and swim over the nice weekend.  Don't you hate how things don't work out as planned?  I guess with a swim and bike, I was close, but was not able to get a run in, and now [...]

After 13 hours in the car, made it back to NYC from Asheville, NC in one piece.  Actually, the trip was quite smooth with only a couple of instances of some construction traffic.  I much prefer to drive on I81 through Virginia and North Carolina, rather than I95 through the big cities.  It is much [...]

I see that the New York City Half Marathon is back on the calendar, for Aug 16.  Full details are not available yet, but we do know that the course will remain the same, they will allow for 10,000 runners, and registration opens May 1 as first come, first served - no lottery! I will [...]

...but I have not exercised a lick in days. And, eaten like a pig, of course.  So, looking forward to getting back home and getting my be-hind in gear, pronto!  Weather in NYC looks great for the weekend, so reason not to get in a good run and bike ride. First up, though, is the [...]
