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.

Last night I had a dream about running. Listen, with the amount of ambien I take dreams are pretty rare in and of themselves, but a dream about running, that’s a real treat. I dreamed, Dr. Freud, that I was running pain free, fast, through a trail. And then there was a bright light. And… Read more »

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 »

I was drafted into MCing the awards, which wasn’t awkward as I placed 4th in my division so I didn’t… Read more »

Just did a short job in Buenos Aires. Where it’s winter. It gets dark early. People walk down the street bundled up in scarfs and thick jackets. The other runners I saw were all in tights and compression sleeves. People huddle together against the cold while waiting for the bus. It was 50°. So anyway, it was… Read more »

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 a geek. And a runner. And a running geek. This manifests itself in many ways. I love to read a good training plan. My running clothes look like they were picked out each moment by someone who is visually impaired. I’m scared of new people. And, of course, I wear a GPS. Which I look at constantly…. Read more »
