for as much as I thought January-May were fairly slow, I blinked and missed June. My running cutback lasted exactly May as I realized on Thursday morning that I was within spitting distance of a hundred mile month. I didn’t get there because it was just too oppressively hot and humid, but 96.87 miles brings… Read More »
crosstraining Cari? However you want to call it, a fun thing happened this week. I was on Roosevelt Island Sunday and wanted to go to the northern tip to see the renovated lighthouse and new Nellie Bly installation, but wasn’t feeling the walk. Not pain but my legs were just tired. Less activity but not… Read More »
The highlight of a good week. This has been the reason so many office run groups have been noted as a schedule conflict. But it all paid off as the NY/NJ bid moved forward as a host city for 2026. So glad to celebrate the announcement in person at a watch party in Liberty State… Read More »
It was a good week and so much fun to run “with” all of you. By my count we had nine states, six time zones and four countries represented. We absolutely nailed the “global” piece of it and had two other states and a country who weren’t able to get pics in. It was also… Read More »
Welcome back Fleet Week! New York City isn’t a big military town despite Military Island, but there’s something magical about these giant ships joining Intrepid at the piers. I wasn’t able to make it to the Parade of Ships, but I will one year. While Bataan is a very different era than Intrepid, nice to… Read More »
before I get into the week, a moment to think of David Reichman who died after crossing the finish of the Brooklyn Half Saturday. 32 is way too young. Not a race director or medical person, so I have no idea if the race was “unsafe”, but I was very glad to not be running… Read More »
Because work has been utterly, wonderfully chaotic. I was meeting a colleague at the Lortel Awards and she asked what I was wearing so she could be sure not to over or under dress and well, this was the result. I had four late nights in a row this last week (two fun, two work,… Read More »
I had no goals for this race and never care about place, but when I saw him later on an out and back at mile eleven or so, I just knew that I was not going to lose to a banana! In fall 2021, I had great plans for this to be a Goal Race.… Read More »
if by recovery you mean back to back runs, a bike ride and two ten mile runs. Oops. That’s one way to do peak Half training week. Cherry Blossom recap still to come, but short version: awesome weekend and I got to see Deborah and Coco! Life is good. 96.08 miles run in March. Slight… Read More »
Throughout COVID we heard running isn’t cancelled, which was very true. And it’s not even my return to racing-but NYCRuns’ Spring Fling just made me feel normal. Not a full race recap as the course, amenities are the same as Haunted Island and Firecracker 10Ks, but it was so much fun to be playing outside… Read More »
