RACE REPORT: 103 Eagleman – 5:21:22
Last season was a bust for me due to my ongoing knee problem. I only raced 1 (that’s right 1) triathlon! My friend Doug suggested we rock Eagleman 70.3 to set off the season. It would be his first attempt…
RACE REPORT: 102 Boston Run to Remember Half Marathon – 1:22:45
Abs n I caught a late afternoon train on Friday, barreling due north towards Boston. I love train rides. You can bring your own food and beer, plus the odds of a crash are pretty low. There is also something…
RACE REPORT: 101 Brooklyn Half Marathon – 1:22:46
I like being sporadic. I think we all need to be more sporadic. I decided last minute to pop a train down to my alma mater (MICA) and hang with my friends Alex and Will for something called Artwalk. It’s…
RACE REPORT: 100 Run as One 4M – 24:19
This is my 100th race! It was also my 10 year anniversary at work… spooky. Come along, let’s take a walk back in time and see where it all started. Back in 2007 I didn’t run. In fact, aside from…
RACE REPORT: 099 The Reston Marathon – 3:09:51 – 2nd Overall

Save the Heidelberg
The 2nd Avenue Subway line has been under construction (in modern times) for the last 4 years now. Any of you who have wandered 2nd Avenue or live up there as I do, know it has crippled or closed many…
The 2014 New York City Hot Dog Challenge
How do you celebrate your birthday? I like to have a bunch of my crazy friends run 3 miles while eating hot dogs. I started my day with an 18 mile run withe the team (Gotham City Runners). It was…
Why Aren’t You Training
Sometimes it’s really hard to wake up and get a training session in. Sometimes it’s really hard to get a training session in at night. Just to clarify, if you run, bike or swim to race (singularly or in triathlon)…
Thursday Night at the Races
NYRR hosts track meets during the winter months here in NYC. I went up to run with the Team (Gotham City Runners) this past Thursday, fearing for my life as I haven’t done track work since… oh maybe September? We…
