Just back from the Mets game at Citifield.  Still energized and won't be able to sleep for awhile so thought I'd take this opportunity to write a little for my blog. This was my 2nd highly satisfying game witnessed in person this week, both ending in a Mets blowout win.  I've been to hundreds of

I'm usually good about at least getting the race reports up on my blog, but I'm behind - still have not written up the March Madness Biathlon from last weekend.  For another day, perhaps... Yesterday was the inaugural 13.1 New York race.  I've had this on my radar since mid-August, when I purchased a pair

Sorry to all of you that care about my training, but I've had very little time to blog about my training for the Rhode Races Marathon, coming up in 6 weeks (EDIT: umm, 4 weeks due to delays in getting this post finished!), on May 2.  My training has gone really, really well this year,

I've been meaning to get back on my bike for quite awhile.  I did a ride in late January, but have been unable since then.  February was rough in terms of cold and snow and conditions just didn't allow for me to ride outside.  Also, the last 3 weekends were dominated by races or long

Ran one of my favorite races today, Coogan's Salsa, Blues & Shamrocks 5k.  It is loads of fun, from getting to tour around and hang out at the amazing Armory on 168th, to the electric atmosphere out on the streets, to the many many kids running on the course.  The only downer on this race

Yes, I know, I hardly ever post on here it seems.  Even more rarely is it that I update the surrounding administrivia.  Tonight, for some odd reason, decided to update the blogroll.  These new additions are ALL worth checking out and are all inspirations to me...
