March 2011
Updates and upcoming races
March 25, 2011 – Posted in: injury Looking Ahead sickJust wanted to catch you up on what's happening with me. In the last two weeks, I've been dealing with a bunch of issues, it seems. First, I've had these nagging injuries that don't all seem to want to go away. Two weeks ago I went for a bike ride on Tuesday night and followed [...]
A great day, with Beer!
March 13, 2011 – Posted in: injury Meetups runningToday was a great day. Well, after the bit about losing an hour of sleep last night was done, I suppose... First, I loved today's #dailymission on dailymile, asking people what they do with their race bibs after the race is done. For me, I have a manila folder that they all get shoved into, [...]
Flat Tire in NJ
March 12, 2011 – Posted in: bikeGot a flat tire on my bike ride today in NJ. You can see the incompleteness of my route in the picture. This was not supposed to be a point-to-point ride :) I've been trying to ease back into biking, in the lead up to the March Madness Biathlon, which is coming up in 2 [...]
LIRRC 4 Miler Race Report
March 6, 2011 – Posted in: Race Reports runningToday I ran a 4 mile PR at the LIRRC race at Eisenhower Park! I had decided not to sign up for the Coogan's 5k race, which was also today, and then found I actually had time to race, so decided at the last minute to go out to LI. This fit for me as [...]
First Ride of the Year
March 5, 2011 – Posted in: bikeWhile I will run in just about any weather condition, and usually enjoy myself, on the bike I'm a bit of a wimp. I don't like riding in cold weather. I don't have the right gear, and having my extremities cold is really annoying, and so I just bide my time until the weather warms before I [...]
Loving Runmeter
March 2, 2011 – Posted in: UncategorizedI'm a tech guy at heart, and over the years have experimented with different tech related to running. While I skipped the whole Garmin movement in the last 2-3 years, I did previously toy with the old Timex model that GPS-mapped runs based on a device you would strap to your arm. That was awful, [...]
Cupid’s Chase 5k Race Report
March 1, 2011 – Posted in: Race Reports runningFound this sitting in my drafts. Little bit late... :) On Saturday (well, a few Saturday's ago at this point) I ran the Cupid's Chase 5k in Riverside Park. All in all, I really enjoyed the event. It is refreshing to be able to run a small 5k in the confines of Manhattan Island, and [...]
Feb 2011 in Review
March 1, 2011 – Posted in: Month End SummariesRunning – 82.4 miles over 12 runs. 15 straight months over 70 miles! While I have definitely stepped back a little this year from prior years, I had 2 marathon long training runs which boosted the total. As the weather warms, I expect to get out on my bike more and run less. At the [...]
