Hope everyone has a great Christmas, Chanukah, New Year, time off from work, etc. I'm taking a family road trip down to Florida for the week. Leaving tomorrow late, after our Christmas party, and should be back on Jan 1 or Jan 2. Looking forward to getting at least 2 warm weather runs in - [...]

Been too lazy to write lately, so this is an attempt to catch up over my last several runs.  Sorry for the length! -------------------- Been very cold and stormy here in the northeast this past week.  In the last week, we had snow on (last) Tuesday night, then had snow followed by sleet and rain [...]

Decided to just skip the Ted Corbitt 15k this morning. With the nasty weather, they ended up changing it to a fun run. Also, I already have my 9 races for Marathon eligibility, so there was really no need to run. With the slippery conditions, I could not have gotten the quality run I was [...]

Countdown to Austin Marathon - 59 days! This is a very busy week, so little time to run.  No running Tuesday or Wednesday.  With a really bad forecast on Friday, I decided to get a late night run in tonight.  Went out at 10:30, and did the 5.2 mile 2 loop tour of Stuyvesant Town, [...]

Anyone with an interest in running the New York City Marathon already knows that for automatic entry, if you are a NYRR member, you need to run 9 qualifying races, plus volunteer once during the year. NYRR has announced that they will extend the volunteer period to the end of January for qualification for the 2009 New York [...]

Made it out at around 10pm tonight for a 5.2 mile recovery run, twice around Stuyvesant Town in the service roads.  It was a balmy 61 degrees, with light rain.  This was actually my third straight day of running, which for me is very unusual.  I built some handy dandy Excel formulas, and see that [...]

Wow - gotta get out and run tonight. It will probably be a late run as I know I'm occupied till at least 10ish. Tuesday forecast? light snow and sleet likely in the afternoon.

I was a little unhappy that I cut yesterday's planned 10.3 mile run down to 6.5 miles, so decided to go out again today.  Conditions were perfect for a hard 4 mile run in East River Park.  Temps in the low 40's, little wind, and time to run in the middle of the day (daylight!). [...]

Countdown to the Austin Marathon - 64 days to go! Very excited about Austin.  Today, I've been transferring some of my recorded New York City Marathon coverage to DVD, so am getting in the spirit again. I was out this morning to run some errands, and it was very cold and windy.  When I saw [...]
