2019 TCS NYC Marathon RECAP
And that’s it, The Big Apple has been bitten. I think it should be called, The Big Rollercoaster. When people say, ‘Earned and not given’, it totally applies to this race. Mind you I handled all of the bridges soundly. The Verrazanno Bridge wasn’t as windy as I was expecting. Waiting in the race wave […]
Detroit Free Press/TCF Marathon RECAP
Are you friggin’ serious? I got a one-second PR? So while I’m elated to claim three straight years of my marathon PR at this race, I’m still a bit disappointed. The hip did not want my greatness today. Mile nineteen was the beginning of the end. I was set to get a nice PR, but […]
Paine to Pain Trail Half Marathon RECAP
Well, that’s done. And so are my feet. The stones! The stones! My biannual visit to New Rochelle for this race is always special. From the 200-year-old musket firing to start each wave to the immediate hill you climb to get to the trailhead to the constantly changing terrain. Five beautiful parks await you as […]
Hyattsville 5k Zombie Run RECAP (10/5/19)
Holy Hills, Batman! Good grief, I know I should have run those hills, but it never happened. Well those son of a biscuit eaters were run this morning. Up and up, around a corner and up and around more corners and hills. This is a local race that’s only a half mile from my […]
Humana Philadelphia Rock ‘n Roll Half RECAP
Rough start this morning. I decided to run to the Art Museum from my hostel, which was 2.45 miles. Several of us were supposed to take a group picture. Somehow that didn’t happen. At least I was ontime for the start (two blocks away). Then my Aftershokz wouldn’t connect to my phone. A restart corrected […]
RRCA Certified Coach
One thing that I’m excited about and happy to announce is that as of this summer I became an official RRCA running coach (Road Runners Club of America). Yay! The two-day course was pretty extensive and detailed but was pretty easy to follow. Initially, I’m going to volunteer at a local club to get […]
Madison Mini Marathon RECAP
Wow, what a day! My Airbnb was less than two miles away from the race festival on the University of Wisconsin campus, so I opted to just run a casual pace to get there. However, I was not expecting four nice hills along the way. Anyway, once I arrived I was warmed up and I […]
