Inspired by Runners World, (although I still want to know how to properly run a true mile on the track) I set out to do a track workout at East River Park. Needed to be sure I timed it just right. If you go too late, and it is dark, the lighting is terrible. If [...]

Track workouts – Runners World
May 17, 2009 – Posted in: East River Park runningWhile I don't do track workouts all that often, I do enjoy them. My 'home' track is at East River Park. It is about 1.1 miles from my front door to the track, which is a perfect warm up / cool down distance. In the last year, my typical track workout is 2 x 1 [...]
A Rather Blustery Day
May 17, 2009 – Posted in: bike runningWas too busy last week to get much exercise in. I was only able to play softball on Tuesday (7-6 loss in extra innings) and go for a run last Monday night. The run was a hill workout, over the Williamsburg Bridge and back. My anger has fizzled over the last week, but I was [...]
Too busy, grumble grumble, to blog…
May 16, 2009 – Posted in: Time time time...and also too busy to run, bike or swim, apparently. In a long all day seminar Friday at Sat (today), so back on the running, biking, swimming, and blogging horse tomorrow! Sarcastic good news of the day - flat tire as I pulled up to hotel holding the seminar. Now I have something to do [...]
Brooklyn Half Marathon Nearing Capacity
May 8, 2009 – Posted in: NYRRNYRR announced that the Brooklyn Half Marathon, on May 30, is nearing capacity, and registration will soon close. So, if you want to run and are not signed up, go quickly! My original impression was that it was just the Central Park races that were capped, not all races. Perhaps I mis-understood? Good to know... [...]
3 runs in a row!
May 4, 2009 – Posted in: runningFollowing my pitiful miles covered in April, and my so-so run on Saturday, I made it a point to continue getting work in in on Sunday and Monday, even though it turned out to be 10pm on Sunday and 10:45pm on Monday. The important thing is that I was able to get 3 days of [...]
April 2009 in Review
May 3, 2009 – Posted in: Month End SummariesApril 2009 certainly went out with a whimper. Didn't do anything the last few days due to a bad head cold. I also lost a week in the middle of the month due to vacation, so this was a very light month. Running - 32 miles over 5 runs - I had such a [...]
Back on the horse with a little 4 miler
May 2, 2009 – Posted in: East River Park runningFeeling much better after being sick all week. Still a little on the congested side, but running is good for loosening up, and getting out, all that extra congestion. Since it was my first activity in a week, I decided to run my simple 4 mile run to the end of East River Park and [...]
Still sick, but getting better
May 1, 2009 – Posted in: sickBeen down for the count most of the week. No, not the Swine Flu (I think!), but just your garden variety head cold and nasal congestion. I foolishly didn't let it stop me from playing in our opening night softball game on Wed (we won!) so my recovery is a little slower than anticipated. As a [...]
