Recovery run

3-mile run down 2nd ave to around 50th street and then down to UN building. Still sore legs from Monday speed workout.

7 mile run

Despite the heavy legs from yesterday's speed workout, today was a 7-mile day in the Bronx. So far so good for 2011!

Speed workout

8.4 miles total, including warm up to run club, 12 strawberry hills with two fast runners, and run back home. One of the fast runners won the Knickerbockers race thus year!

1/2/2011

Six miles in the Bronx today.

Happy 2011!

All of you runners out there, Happy New Year!

Today the Van Cortland Park Trail Marathon was on. I wish I had known and planned for it earlier so I could go and participate in this rather uncoventional marathon. The full marathon course was four loops of the park.

Instead, I ran to Prince Street to meet my friend who was visiting from Massachusettes and had Lombardi's Pizza with him. This counts as the first run of 2011. It was 4.5 miles and was done though heavy traffic and slushy streets.

20 days

Only 20 days left to Boston. How can you train for a marathon in 20 days?

Register for NYC half marathon

If you are thinking about running a good half marathon next year, NYC half marathon in March is the race for you

They moved it from August (hot, humid) to March (verdant, pleasant)!

Run with no injuries

So there will be no more 70-mile weeks! And stretching before and after each run. And definitely one or two days off every week!

Boston marathon plans

Need to make a training plan for Boston 2010. Any suggestions?

Long miles

Last week, I ran more then 70 miles. I had never run this much in one week, and being in this mileage territory is exciting and scary.
