Are you running the TCS NYC Marathon for the first time? Are you wondering what the course is going to look like? Well, I’ve got you covered. This isn’t a Google map, this isn’t a recreation, this is the video I shot at each mile last year to give you an idea of the elation,…
I did it. I finished and I couldn’t be happier about it! I did exactly what I said I was going to do, I went out there with a good attitude, I walked when I felt like it, I didn’t push myself on the hills (and man, there were some HILLS) and I crossed the…
A few months ago, I was excited to get an invitation to go to Boulder, CO for Memorial Day weekend and participate in the BolderBOULDER 10K. I was excited as I hadn’t been to that part of Colorado in almost years and I remember loving it. The Trip I built in a little extra time…
Saturday was the 2016 Airbnb Brooklyn Half. I went out on this course for the 8th time, but this time I was undertrained, exhausted and one day into an antibiotic regimen to kill the sinus infection I was diagnosed with on Friday. So to say this wasn’t my best Brooklyn Half is an understatement. But, like the…
At long last, my race video from the NYRR United NYC Half is posted!! The NYRR United NYC Half As usual the race was a FANTASTIC race. If you read this space you’ve heard (or read) me talk about how much I love this race and course, it’s a virtual tour of my running haunts, Central…
Last Sunday was the NYRR Washington Heights Salsa, Blues, and Shamrocks 5K. I ran this hilly race for the 5th time and was only 19 seconds off my 5K PR. While I was bummed I didn’t PR the distance, I was still happy with my performance and was able to make a race video to…
Ladies and Gents, LA and Skechers know how to put on a running party! From the Expo to the finish line, the LA Marathon was a super enjoyable experience. Coming from NYC (where I run the majority of my races including marathons) I’m used to crowded starts, courses and even expos. But with only 25,000…
Last week I left my family for five days, took a plane across the country and ran two races, the Big LA 5K and the LA Marathon. And, I had VIP tickets to watch the US Marathon Olympic Trials. Holy SHIT, it was like a dream! While I was basking in the glow of 75…
Saturday was my first race for the 2016 season. Given that I’ve been out of commission for the past 2.5 weeks with a pulled muscle in my back (from bending down to pick up my son, yeah, hello 46, nice to meet you) I don’t think I faired so poorly. The race celebrates Joe Kleinerman,…
It’s been a few days and my quads are starting to feel a bit more normal. I’m finally ready to talk about my 14th marathon and 8th time running from Staten Island to Central Park. If you read this space, you know that I’ve had a tough running year. It would be really easy for me to…
