Today is a rainy day in NYC.  I'm not feeling motivated to do much of anything this afternoon.  Can't even watch the Giants game at 1pm due to the bad weather in Minneapolis.  The game was pushed to Monday, and then pushed to Detroit when the Metrodome roof caved!  So, this was the perfect time [...]

Don't quite know why but I was inspired to click the Dec 2008 month in my blog archive, and I just had so much fun browsing the entries.  That was in the day where I did a lot of blogging, before Dailymile took over as a place to log my daily workouts and in the days [...]

Last night I registered for the Flying Pig Marathon, in Cincinnati, OH, on May 1, solidifying my spring plans.  I've wanted to run this for several years, ultimately choosing to run Austin in 2009 and Providence in 2010.  Assuming I finish my other planned marathon in January, Flying Pig will be my 9th state and [...]

Today was the Joe Kleinerman 10k race in Central Park.  As I posted the other day, I thought I had a fair shot at my PR for the 10k distance.  This was based on the notion that my PR is around 8:30 pace, and I raced 5 miles last week at 8:27 pace.  However, in [...]

Just thinking about my upcoming race on Sunday.  Will be running the Joe Kleinerman 10k, and I think my PR is within reach.  My PR was set in April 2007 (April Fools Day actually) at the Scotland Run, in 52:43.  In fact, I remember this day well because it was the day the March Madness [...]

Running – 106.2 miles over 16 runs.  This was my second highest monthly total ever, 1.7 miles short of my total from April.  I had the benefit of 2 long runs, which helped to bump up the total.  This leaves me at 969 for the year, easily within reach of my goal of 1000 for [...]

I had an epic running week this week, at least for me.  I ran 9.9 miles on Tuesday, 5 on Thursday, 5.1 on Saturday and 20.3 today.  My total for the week was 40.3.  While many of the people I follow on Twitter and DailyMile can do that easily, for me this is a huge [...]

Thursday was the 5 mile Turkey Trot in Prospect Park.  I finished in 42:17, and had a great time. Typically, my family travels for Thanksgiving.  But this year, we had an early holiday last weekend, and so we remained behind in NY.  I decided to take advantage and run in the turkey trot race, which [...]

How exciting.  My first ever book review.  I will admit that I don’t read many running books.  I also don’t read many autobiographies, or memoirs.  But I happened upon this one, and just loved it so much, I had to share. I randomly stumbled upon this book.  I have never heard of Rachel Toor before, [...]
