I'm a tech guy at heart, and over the years have experimented with different tech related to running.  While I skipped the whole Garmin movement in the last 2-3 years, I did previously toy with the old Timex model that GPS-mapped runs based on a device you would strap to your arm.  That was awful, [...]

It has been a week since the Chicago Marathon. The more I reflect, and read other people's accounts of the race, the prouder I am of my accomplishment. It was one of my slowest marathons ever, but I ran a consistent race and was done in by the sun and heat only in the late [...]

24 days to the Chicago Marathon! My goal was to ride my bike this morning, and run tomorrow morning, but I didn't get the ride done. My plan was to be out the door by 5:30, go to Central Park for 2 loops, and be back by 7am, when it would be time to get Katie [...]

Made some major changes to my blogroll.  Removed a few stale entries and added a bunch of the active ones that I've been reading faithfully.  Welcome: Boston or Die Trying Brandon's Marathon Mile Musings NYC in 3:10 Races Like A Girl Run Westchester Runnin' Down A Dream

My original plan was to bike on Sunday, which was forecasted to be the warmer day.  But Saturday was so nice, and the forecast for Sunday ended up being cooler and possibly rainy, so I decided to get my bike ride in on Saturday instead.  As my first ride of the year, had a good [...]

Just felt like I needed to vent a little.  It is the little things like this that make me so mad! Last Sunday, before my long run, I was on the upper east side, and wanted to fuel up.  Headed into a bagel store on the east side of York Ave, around 76th St or so.  Picked [...]
