Following the Badwater race online, I clicked around on their site until I ended up in their linked Store, of course (Zombie Runner). I saw there a few odd items; it is an estore for hardcore BA ultrarunners after all…I was wondering what stuff would be different to the regular running…

Man Brings Daydream to Life, Jumps Into Central Park Reservoir 7/11/11 at 12:45 AM As some of us have imagined ourselves doing but not actually done, a sweaty, overheated white male in his forties scaled a chain-link fence and dove into the Central Park Reservoir on Sunday. He swam around in…

I just finished Week 2 of the Chicago training and I feel pretty good about it.Last Saturday’s 12 miler was pretty intense (as in FAST!!!), and yesterday, on July 4th, I did a trail half and was quite “fast” too! YEY!You’ve heard me talk about the Holiday Marathons up in Van Cortland Park;…

Continue reading →: My new earphones are inspirational
You know I run with music (yeah, deal with it!!!), so I go through 2 or 3 pairs of earphones a year. But, like headnabds, it’s not so easy: nothing stays put in my ears.For the longest time, I’ve been using Sony’s ubiquitous, $10 super cheap, ear-clips, with a headband on top to secure…

Just caught this add for a NYC running team in the last New York Runner magazine. (I deleted all the info, just in case…) Check it out: What do you think? Is this… what do you think?

I’ve written (raved!) about this race before. Here is last year’s post about what the race is all about, and Prince Harry at the race. This year, I was not running it (again!!) but I was there, and ready to report, as usual!We got the usual handful of celebrities to show…

Continue reading →: Front Runner’s 5 Miler RR
I had a very rough 10k last weekend and my two runs this week (Monday and Tuesday) were pretty nasty as well. I figured, if I rested enough I could be ok for today’s 5 miler. As you all know, the State Senate passed the bill last night on same sex marriages, so today’s Front…

Continue reading →: Chicago – It’s on
Training has officially started. And it was a bit disappointing to look at the training plan Smart Coach gave me. It’s not SC’s fault. It’s just that because the New York Road Runner’s races match the training for the NYC marathon, and Chicago is 3 weeks before NYC, I can’t do…

Everyone knows of my substance abuse problems… It really doesn’t help if the diner (open 24 hours!!!) in the corner, just a couple of doors from me, puts this up, RIGHT IN MY FACE: Even if I can resist the 6 jars of Nutella in my pantry (you gotta be…

No need to explain, right??? These (bondiband wicking ponytail hats) are SO me. I might even have to fly somewhere cold to wear them soon! Could this be ANY more appropriate?

Continue reading →: Shelter Island 10K RR: Not just another 10K!
Every year, right between being recovered from my Spring Marathon and before I need to start training for my Fall Marathon, I do as many “short” races (5Ks to 10Ks) as I can fit in. They’re the best (and only)way for me to do some speedwork!And because I can’t seem…

Continue reading →: The 3 Mile Rule
Most of the times, I start my long runs feeling like crap and wondering how on eart am I supposed to do 20 miles…But, always, after approximately 3 miles, I am ok. I start feeling normal and get on pace and speed up a bit and all in the world…
