I took the 10 miler, grabbed it, and destroyed it. Seriously, it’s dead. Here I am before I left my apartment, I was pretty sure I was going to throw up and die. It took me about 25 minutes to walk to the park and get into place. I staked out a spot at almost [...]

Ready for 10
Posted in Uncategorized on February 21, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I’m running my 10 mile race this morning. I’m trying to convince myself that I’m ready, but I’m really not sure. I would be more sure if there weren’t so many damn hills in Prospect Park and if I didn’t seem to have a shin splint in my left leg. But otherwise I feel good. [...]
6 Miles and a Crazy Plan
Posted in Uncategorized on February 15, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I ran 6 miles with my father this morning. Not going to lie, it wasn’t as enjoyable as Saturday’s run. Physically it felt more difficult and my dad wasn’t very chatty so there wasn’t this conversation distraction. That said we posted pretty good splits. Mile 1: 9:36 Mile 2: 9:42 Mile 3: 9:57 Mile 4: [...]

I ran 8 miles this morning and it was absolutely amazing. I didn’t stop, I didn’t need to stretch, I didn’t need to walk, I just ran. And I ran pretty quickly. Mile 1: 9:50 Mile 2: 9:43 Mile 3: 9:48 Mile 4: 9:45 Mile 5: 9:41 Mile 6: 9:37 Mile 7: 9:30 Mile 8: [...]
An Explosion

I was right about my commute yesterday morning. It was far worse than either of my commutes on Wednesday. There were several inches of ice on all of the sidewalks and at one point I went sliding. But I made it and coming home wasn’t so bad. It was a bit of a weird day. [...]
Snow? No!

As you might have heard we got a huge snowstorm here in NYC. Or what was supposed to be a huge snowstorm. That’s my neighborhood on my walk to work this morning. Not bad. The subways this morning were fantastic, barely any people, it was the ideal commute. In Manhattan there was barely any snow [...]
Podiatrist!

I had a very successful visit at the podiatrist today. I really liked him on a personal level. He was friendly, he listened, he asked questions, and he was through. So unlike so many doctors (cough orthopedist cough). The minute he looked at my left foot he knew it was swollen which I was impressed [...]
Zumba!

I went to my first Zumba class tonight. It was so much fun! After seeing The Fitnessista’s Zumba video the other day I really wanted to try it and when my friend invited me to try a class at her gym I knew it was destiny. Most of the people in the class were beginners [...]
7 Miles

I ran 7 miles today. It’s the longest distance I’ve ever run. When I woke up around 9:30 the temperature was in the teens with windchills in the single digits, so I decided to wait until noon to go running. I finally made it out around 12:30 and it was still cold, but manageable. The [...]
