Thinking ahead to 2009 a little bit. NYRR has released dates for Jan – March races. I’ll most likely run the Fred Lebow 5 mile race, on 1/10. I love this race. It is the first race of the year (with the exception of the New Years Eve run), is usually around my birthday (1/9) […]
Dragged my butt out of bed at 6:30 this morning and was out the door at 7:15 for a nice 10.3 mile tour of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Have a full plate of familiy activites today, so my only real chance to get a 10 miler in was first thing this morning. Despite the cold […]

I have a few minutes to kill, so I’m sitting outside at Madison Square Park (awesome free wifi by the way), freezing, but catching up on email, blogs, etc. Hopefully I’ll get a run in later tonight, but with the cold weather, I’m just kind of curious what the weather is like in Austin in […]

7:15am – waiting for the M15 bus on 1st Ave to take 7 year old to school, watching the snowflakes come down. Can’t really call it a snow flurry, really just a few flakes, but exciting. 10:15pm – running around the Stuytown loop, watching a few snowflakes come down. Again, can’t even call it a […]
It feels like it has been forever since I last wrote in my blog. It’s actually been 9 days, which is too long a break. It’s just been hard to get the time to sit and write. Life is pretty hectic right now and it’s hard enough just to find the time to exercise, let […]
This year, I’ve proved that stepping up the training will lower your marathon time. I dropped 20 minutes off my time from last year, and I think it was a direct result of running 605 miles from Jan-Oct, rather than the 447 miles I ran last year. However, there is still room for improvement, and […]

Nice little 4.6 mile run last night. 44:28. First run since the marathon. For the most part, my muscle soreness seemed to have retreated, and I was itching to get out for some exercise. Took awhile to loosen up. Right hamstring was tight, which went away pretty quickly, and also I could feel the plantar fasciitis […]

What a great day. And long. Early to Rise My bus ticket read 4am. That is very early. I’m typically an early arriver at races (I was the one on the 6:30 ferry before the 9:40 Staten Island Half Marathon), but this is ridiculous. It was my choice though. Race organizers encouraged people to take […]
