Getting a bit jittery about the Brooklyn Half Marathon coming up next Saturday.   Since the Austin Marathon in mid-Feb, I've only had one run over 7 miles.  I've been putting a fair amount of miles in, and was well trained for marathon distance 3 months ago, so will just have to hope that is [...]

Was too busy last week to get much exercise in.  I was only able to play softball on Tuesday (7-6 loss in extra innings) and go for a run last Monday night.  The run was a hill workout, over the Williamsburg Bridge and back.  My anger has fizzled over the last week, but I was [...]

Wow, it was hot hot hot this weekend!  Managed to get a nice bike ride in before it got hot on Saturday, and then waited the heat out today and went out for a run in the relatively cool evening. First, the bike ride.  Was up at 6:30 yesterday and out of the house by [...]

Got home from my vacation on Thursday night with the intention of getting in a good bike, run and swim over the nice weekend.  Don't you hate how things don't work out as planned?  I guess with a swim and bike, I was close, but was not able to get a run in, and now [...]

Been a bit active over the last few days. Last Thursday I went for a late bike ride to Central Park.  First nighttime ride of the year - it is finally getting warm enough for me.  Love biking in Central Park late night when it is empty.  Can fly through without worrying so much about [...]

Weather is perfect!

I've been pretty quiet on my blog since the marathon in Austin last month.  Just haven't been able to get myself properly motivated.  I think this is partly because I'm starting to step up swimming and biking, and I'm just not so strong in those disciplines yet! I've also had this nagging groin pull for several months.  [...]

Since I'm stepping up the biking and swimming aspects of my training, I have spent significantly less time on running.  Only 4 runs this month so far for ~24 miles.  Even though I know it is not true, it somehow makes me feel like I am accomplishing less.  I think that may be because a [...]

Feeling a lot better today.  The knot in my back that suddenly popped up on Saturday is gone.  That one was strange.  It was not lower back or neck/shoulders, areas where I've had trouble in the past and are a major source of concern.  It was on the left side of the back below the [...]
