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 […]
May 30, Brooklyn, Be There… From the “its about time” department. @NYRR_Daily confirms Brooklyn Half Marathon on May 30! Just wondering if we’ll be running on the boardwalk this year – I recently saw pictures of the boardwalk under serious construction. Although NYC got stimulus money to fix the boardwalk, I’m sure that’s not happening by May 30.

Was able to get out for a 5.2 mile run down 1st Ave and East River path down to Wall St and back. See here for the map taken using my iPhone and GPS. I was surprised it held the signal underneath the FDR drive – good to know. Had a fantastic run. Since it […]
Been under the weather since Saturday and so have not done any running since my run in Miami last Tuesday. Feeling a lot better today so will get out for a run tonight. Looking forward to it! Currently 48 degrees so maybe it can creep up towards 50 by late afternoon. Last weekend, the washing […]
I wrote a couple of weeks ago about how I received an incorrect finishers certificate for the 2008 Half Marathon Grand Prix. Well, I was very happy to see that NYRR corrected the error of their ways, and sent out updated certificates last week! Woo Hoo!
