That’s a pretty sexy looking sport watch.  GPS logging, a decent interface, Nike+ website, all at a not so terrible price.  Maybe I should reward myself with one after I get a few hundred miles under my belt in 2013.

In running, it doesn’t matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, ‘I have finished.’ There is a lot of satisfaction in that. -Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder (via) Man, I still miss running.

Boilermaker 15K sold out – Utica, NY – The Observer-Dispatch, Utica, New York. I was pondering using the 2013 Boilermaker to motivate me to get back on the running bandwagon.  With an early sell out last year, I even started thinking about signing up. That isn’t gonna happen, the 15k field of 14,000 slots sold…

After a long break (mostly centered around the arrival of kid #2), I’ve been able to start running again.  Here’s a few related thoughts: I didn’t forget how to run.  I was a little worried that picking up running again would be like starting from scratch.  I was pleasantly surprised that I could jump back…

As fall quickly slides into Central New York, I’m a little less exciting than usual due to the kinda crummy summer.  Normally, I’m totally ready for the long hot days to be done.  We had some really hot days, but nothing that stopped me from running; including a few night runs when I left and…

Earlier today I ran the ARC Half Marathon.  I wasn’t planning on having a fantastic run, as my training has been pretty hit or miss lately, and I’ve got a knee that’s a touch sore from that wreck last week. Things started off well enough;  quite well, in fact.  Splits for miles 1 and 2…

So I took last night off from running so I’d be a little more rested for a good long run this morning.  I was up on time (a little earlier actually, due to the full moon shining right in my face), through the requisite GI wake period and out the door by 5:45, anticipating a…

I was so fast this year, they were only able to catch me at the finish line.  Well, that’s what I’d like to think.  In real life, folding my bib number down so just the actual number shows probably makes it hard to read for the far too dedicated folks who manually tag all the…

I think a shirt that I saw during the race pretty much sums it up: “My sport is punishment in your sport…” Yeah, that feels about right. Splits: Mile 1: 6:54 Mile 2: 7:36 Mile 3: 7:15 Mile 4: 7:40 Mile 5: 6:41 Mile 6: 7:08 Mile 7: 7:43 Mile 8: 7:12 Mile 9: 7:25…
