This will be a quick recap because I’m not really in the writing mood. Still, I like looking back on these race notes, so I feel obligated to put something down. This morning’s NYRR Team Championships went just about exactly as planned for me. In an email volley earlier in the week, I told [...] I ran a lousy race this morning. It was hot, I was short on sleep, and I started out too quick. That trifecta led to a 24:50 four miler, a 6:12/mile pace — slower than my 10K pace and only 7 seconds per mile off my half marathon pace. Helen and I met up [...] My legs were twitching all day as I sat at my desk, and I couldn’t help but stare longingly out the window onto the sunny park below. I had skipped yesterday’s run completely because of the pain in my legs and the 2.4 mile jog I took with Helen this morning had done nothing [...] Back when NYRR first posted the info on the NYC Half, I decided that I’d be skipping it. I just couldn’t justify spending $80 or whatever it was to run a half marathon here in Manhattan. My stinginess worked out well… Today ended up being a great day to be on the sidelines [...] This morning was just about as good as it gets. I ended up with another 19.4 miles in my training log, a new 8K P.R., and a pair of very wet shoes. I had no intention of running the NYRR 8000 until earlier this week when my old running partner Sarah emailed me [...] Helen is in South Africa this week to run a race (in which she kicked ass, by the way), I have a ton of work to get done this weekend for one of my Ink Plant clients, and I was just plain tired from a long week, so I had absolutely no plans for my [...] Thanks to yet another big snowstorm, NYC schools were closed yesterday which meant that Helen and I were able to head out for an afternoon run during my lunch break. (I still had to work; one of the few bummers about being able to work from home is that you never get snow days…) [...] 57 miles in 3 days. That’s my plan for the weekend. And I’m 2/3 of the way there. Early in the week, I decided that I’d do double 20’s this weekend since it was my last chance before having to start the taper for the HMRRC Winter Marathon. I was a little worried [...] Wow. Today did not go as planned. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to do it, but I managed to break the 1:27 barrier. 1:26, 1:25, and 1:24 too… I still can’t quite believe that I just ran a 1:23:46 half marathon, 6:23/mile overall. Especially after such a [...] On the running front, this week has been less than stellar. It started well, but went to shit when I decided to race the mile up at the Armory. Thanks to that, I finished with less than 47 miles for the week. Not where I need to be 6 weeks out from [...] |
