Well, my job in Miami was just fine — no major stress, good people. Couldn’t fit in a speed workout, and wound up doing the same out and back three times. Normally that would be unremarkable, but this was a great out and back. Pancake flat, starting on a boardwalk, then sidewalk (ok so it’s… Read more »

I think it was last Wednesday when I awoke to the radio announcer’s excitement: “Folks, we’ve got a HUGE storm coming this weekend. We are going to get DUMPED ON.” Realizing that I was planning to do a 20 miler, I wasn’t surprised. Bad weather and long runs. Like peanut butter and more peanut butter…. Read more »

First 20. More hills than I thought. Slower than I thought. Harder than I feared.
Posted on by Greg CohenAh, the 20 miler. It’s a staple of marathon training. I don’t know anyone who has done 26.2 without doing a few 20s weeks before. Because I ran a 25k last weekend, I’m actually a week late based on my Boston training, so I was anxious to get this one under my belt. And man… Read more »

There’s something about the metric system that seems so manageable to me. Weekend warriors run a 5k, right? A 10k is under an hour, right? A 15k? Well, that’s such a weird distance that no one can rattle off their PR in a 15k. It’s less than a half marathon. So that’s good. Last weekend,… Read more »

Once again, I find myself in Sin City for a project. I’ve been out here in the desert for a week, now on the backend of a family vacation, and of course I’m loving the weather. However, running here is a constant chore, at least close to the strip. Yesterday I was slated by McMillian… Read more »

I’ve spent the last few days in Phoenix, actually had an extra day as my flight was cancelled due to some sort of snow fall in New York. I am not a lover of cold weather running, so it was great to have another day to be in shorts and a tee shirt. My job… Read more »

Very happy, but wish it was a little longer, and that the first mile was a little quieter, but for what is obviously a heavily populated area it’s a good loop. Run from Marriott Canyon Villas / JW MarriottFind more Runs in Phoenix, Arizona

It was 8° when I left the house today. That fact pretty much framed the whole day — or at least until we could all forget about the whole 8° thing! Good long run with the Taconics today. I’ve been traveling for the last several weeks, and have been running alone, so it was a… Read more »

Had a great run yesterday at the Manhattan Half Marathon, which traditionally has been a race plagued by horrible weather. Yesterday it was almost 40° at the start, with overcast skies but no rain. It was great. I had been nervous about this race because it’s so early in my training for Boston; there’s still… Read more »

I’m in Las Vegas this week. The weather is as good as it could be — highs in the mid 50s, lows in the 40s. It’s been a nice change to the cold we’ve had in the east, as well as the slush and cold I suffered through in Detroit last week. I’m not a… Read more »
