Arrived in Florida last night. After 3 days cooped up in the car with 3 other sick people, and 4 days (since Christmas Eve) of eating like a pig, I was looking forward to the warm, sunny weather, and getting in a nice warm weather run. I've probably gained 5 pounds of fat with all [...]

Cold and icy week
December 24, 2008 – Posted in: Austin Marathon 2009 East River Park runningBeen 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.

On a roll

Recovery run, plus Straw interview
December 16, 2008 – Posted in: runningMade 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 [...]
Super fast (record breaking!) 4 mile run
December 14, 2008 – Posted in: East River Park runningI 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!). [...]
