10 Years of Running
A little over a month ago, I had planned to run the Bronx Zoo Run for the Wild 5k. While this would have been another small race, that tends to be more of a family fun run than an actual race, it would have been the tenth anniversary of my first race – also the Bronx Zoo Run for the Wild 5k.
NYRR New Balance Bronx 10 Mile 2019
The NYC Half Marathon requires running four out of six borough races in order to get an automatic entry. With three races down and a fourth needed to get into the 2020 NYC Half Marathon, I woke up early last Sunday to run the NYRR Bronx 10 Mile race. It had been a few months […]
NYRR United NYC Half Marathon 2019
In preparation for the 2018 NYC Marathon, I ran multiple New York Road Runner races, including four of the borough races, which would get me entry into the United NYC Half Marathon 2018. The NYC Marathon was my last 26.2 mile race, but it allowed me the possibility of entering one of the largest half […]
NYRR Staten Island Half Marathon 2018
I had not run the Staten Island Half Marathon since 2013 due to different reasons over the last few years, but with a desire to qualify for the 2019 NYC Half Marathon and a need to get more miles under my feet for the NYC Marathon that was a mere weeks away, I finally was making my return to Staten Island in order to achieve both.
NYRR New Balance Bronx 10 Mile 2018
While training for the NYC Marathon, I wanted to get a few races in as part of my training. Since the NYRR Bronx 10 Mile was a fairly flat 10 mile out and back that also is also a qualifier for the NYC Half Marathon and the NYC Marathon, it was a perfect training run.
Biofreeze San Francisco First Half Marathon
This past July, I was planning to go to San Francisco to cheer for Andrea as she ran a half marathon. It would have been a new experience for me to go on a runcation in which I wasn’t running, but a different decision was made. Since this trip fell in the middle of NYC Marathon training season, I was trying to figure out when I could get a run in during the trip when Andrea suggested I run it with her.
Virgin Money London Marathon 2018
When I started running, it was an idle hobby. I had been working from home as an independent contractor and wanted a way to get outside in the middle of the work day to get a break from spending all my time in the same four walls. It was at a fateful brunch where my friends challenged each other to run a 5k at the Bronx Zoo, and little did I know where it would lead.
NYRR Race to Deliver 4M 2017
It was a clear, but slightly chilly Sunday morning in November when we runners gathered in Central Park for the NYRR Race to Deliver 4M. The week before Thanksgiving, we ran four miles in support of God’s Love We Deliver to help bring food to those who could not afford it this holiday season.
NYRR Poland Spring Marathon Kickoff 5M
It was a rainy Sunday morning, and the weather had been threatening floods for that day, but it didn’t stop over 4,000 runners from heading out to Central Park to participate in the NYRR Poland Spring Marathon Kickoff 5M race.
NYRR Grete’s Great Gallop 10K 2017
This past summer, I decided I needed to throttle back from my long distance running. I ran NYC, Tokyo, and Boston back to back to back, so after the Brooklyn Half Marathon, I took a race hiatus. Now that summer has come to a close, it was time to return to those well worn running paths to continue my 9+1 with Grete’s Great Gallop 10K.
