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, [...]

Lower Manhattan Loop run
April 22, 2009 – Posted in: injury New York City Triathlon runningWas 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 [...]
Active, but didn’t get a run in
April 20, 2009 – Posted in: bike gym injury running swimGot home from my vacation on Thursday night with the intention of getting in a good bike, run and swim over the nice weekend.

Trading mountains for skyscrapers
April 16, 2009 – Posted in: vacationAfter 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 [...]

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 [...]
Central Park loop
April 10, 2009 – Posted in: runningWent for a great run around Central Park last night. I very rarely have the opportunity to go on a regular training run in Central Park, so when I do, it always feels wonderful. Especially now when I'm not training for anything in particular and can slow down and enjoy the park, the hills and [...]

4.6 miles, and sidewalk vs road running
April 6, 2009 – Posted in: runningWas able to get out for a nice 4.6 mile run tonight. For a change of pace, I was able to get out of work at a nice reasonable time and go for my run right away. So, I was home and showered by 8pm, which was nice. Of course, my 7 year old (Katie) [...]
