I was in the city doing a project and managed to sneak out of work around 9am to go for a run.  By “sneak out” I mean leave work after telling everyone, my client, my co-workers, the cleaners, everyone, that I was leaving.  I feel so guilty about sneaking out that I am about the worst… Read more »

It’s one of those fall days where it’s good to be a runner.  Heading out for a long run today, it felt almost cold.  I debated wearing compression sleeves  or gloves or a hat.  But after careful consideration (read:  no consideration) I decided that I was going to warm up as I ran.  As I always do.  As… Read more »

Most runs are the same.  Same route.  Same pace.  Same running buddies.  Same hills.  Same issues.  Same persistent injury. Of late, I’ve had very little of the same.  Since pulling my hamstring a little over the month ago, it I would love a little sameness — but I’ve been doing different things to try to… Read more »

This is my 3rd pain free run.  3 miles today.  Slowly.  I feel better, but a little pain at the end. I’m taking it easy.  I promise.

Oh man. I’m on vacation these two weeks, on Long Island where everything is flat.  Well, not totally flat.  But compared to Westchester, it’s like a pancake here.  I’ve been looking forward to running and biking, thinking I could make up for some quality runs lost this summer. It’s been a busy couple of months… Read more »

My friend and colleague Nicole sent me this video. And it is freakin’ AWESOME.

Took the day off from the track today cause I’m feeling some hamstring pain from the race on Sunday. Decided to take it easy. Maybe run a quiet 7 miles. Catch up on some podcasts. Break in a new pair of shoes. Instead, I ran into super runner and fellow Croton dad Tim Robinson at… Read more »

I’m thinking hard about the fall.  Which is strange, because we’ve had only about a week of spring.  But I am thinking abou the fall.  And a fall marathon.  Because why not? I’ll tell you why not.  I’m feeling a little burned out.  I mean, I still think about running all the time.  I still… Read more »

We, as humans, all stress.  Some more than others.  Some of us hide it.  Some of us don’t.  I can’t imagine where I fall on that scale. We all have real things to stress about.  Money.  Relationships.  Health.  Why, then, do we choose to race?  Why would I, a person who is no stress-enthusiast, choose… Read more »
