Final long run for Providence Marathon done

– Posted in: Rhode Races running

Reposted from my Daily Mile report.  Click here for the route.  Finished 22.1 miles in 3:57:08. 4th and final of my planned long run for Providence Marathon, in 3 weeks on May 2.  Since the marathon is relatively flat, I decided to come up with a new long run route that was flat.  Best place [...]

Love to See the (Construction) Progress

– Posted in: Mets Reflections running

Just back from the Mets game at Citifield.  Still energized and won't be able to sleep for awhile so thought I'd take this opportunity to write a little for my blog. This was my 2nd highly satisfying game witnessed in person this week, both ending in a Mets blowout win.  I've been to hundreds of [...]

13.1 New York Race Report

– Posted in: Race Reports Rhode Races running

I'm usually good about at least getting the race reports up on my blog, but I'm behind - still have not written up the March Madness Biathlon from last weekend.  For another day, perhaps... Yesterday was the inaugural 13.1 New York race.  I've had this on my radar since mid-August, when I purchased a pair [...]

Great long run!

– Posted in: Rhode Races running

Sorry to all of you that care about my training, but I've had very little time to blog about my training for the Rhode Races Marathon, coming up in 6 weeks (EDIT: umm, 4 weeks due to delays in getting this post finished!), on May 2.  My training has gone really, really well this year, [...]

March 2010 in Review

– Posted in: Month End Summaries

Running – 82.3 miles over 13 runs.  267.6 miles YTD is a record through March.  More importantly it is 6 of 7 months with 80+ miles, a level I never, ever, reached before Sept 08, covering 14 years.  For the first time, I think I could get to 1000 in the year, considering I'm running [...]

Couple of Bridge Updates

– Posted in: Bike Lanes Reflections

First Bridge Update: Yesterday I was out on my long run (which was great by the way, and my blog report is partway finished), which included the RFK Bridge (formerly known as the Triboro Bridge).  For the last couple of years, the pedestrian path has been under construction that added MANY, MANY steps onto the [...]

Back on the bike

– Posted in: bike

I've been meaning to get back on my bike for quite awhile.  I did a ride in late January, but have been unable since then.  February was rough in terms of cold and snow and conditions just didn't allow for me to ride outside.  Also, the last 3 weekends were dominated by races or long [...]

Coogan’s Salsa Blues and Shamrock 5k Race Report

– Posted in: Race Reports

Ran one of my favorite races today, Coogan's Salsa, Blues & Shamrocks 5k.  It is loads of fun, from getting to tour around and hang out at the amazing Armory on 168th, to the electric atmosphere out on the streets, to the many many kids running on the course.  The only downer on this race [...]

Long Overdue Blogroll Update

– Posted in: Reflections

Yes, I know, I hardly ever post on here it seems.  Even more rarely is it that I update the surrounding administrivia.  Tonight, for some odd reason, decided to update the blogroll.  These new additions are ALL worth checking out and are all inspirations to me... A Marathoner Bridges Runner In A New York Minute [...]
