After getting a so-so run in on Tuesday night, my intention was to get two more good efforts in Wed and Thurs. I’d have preferred to bike ride, but it was still simply too cold for me after work. So, on Wed, I went to the gym for a swim. Half hour in the pool, […]

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 […]

Went for a great run around Central Park last night. I very rarely have the opportunity to go on a regular training run in Central Park, so when I do, it always feels wonderful. Especially now when I’m not training for anything in particular and can slow down and enjoy the park, the hills and […]

Was able to get out for a nice 4.6 mile run tonight. For a change of pace, I was able to get out of work at a nice reasonable time and go for my run right away. So, I was home and showered by 8pm, which was nice. Of course, my 7 year old (Katie) […]
