Rainy Day Update

– Posted in: First Light Marathon running

Today is a rainy day in NYC.  I'm not feeling motivated to do much of anything this afternoon.  Can't even watch the Giants game at 1pm due to the bad weather in Minneapolis.  The game was pushed to Monday, and then pushed to Detroit when the Metrodome roof caved!  So, this was the perfect time

Last night I registered for the Flying Pig Marathon, in Cincinnati, OH, on May 1, solidifying my spring plans.  I've wanted to run this for several years, ultimately choosing to run Austin in 2009 and Providence in 2010.  Assuming I finish my other planned marathon in January, Flying Pig will be my 9th state and

PPTC 5 Mile Turkey Trot Race Report

– Posted in: Race Reports

Thursday was the 5 mile Turkey Trot in Prospect Park.  I finished in 42:17, and had a great time. Typically, my family travels for Thanksgiving.  But this year, we had an early holiday last weekend, and so we remained behind in NY.  I decided to take advantage and run in the turkey trot race, which
