Race Report: SCWT #3
Last night was the third race in the Snow Cheap Winter Trail series at Cobb’s Hill. As weird as this weather has been I at least half expected snow to finally be a factor in the race this time, considering we got a healthy dose over the weekend (see: Freezeroo #3). Rochester’s weather system had [...]
Race Recap: Freezeroo #3 – Don Curran 5K
There are some races that make you go “Yea!” and others yet that make you jump for joy. This was a mix for both. I set out with a plan to do a 21:30 so I can increase my VDOT training, but scratched that when the snow came. There was a TON of snow out [...]
Training Report: 1/5 – 1/15/2012
A continuation of my journeys in running, and more specifically what do I do now that my marathon has ended. I need to get back to actually writing down my thoughts on my training as it happens rather than just recapping in retrospect. Most of these are however from my Dailymile recap, which works also. [...]
2012 Running Goals
With the recent turn of the calendar year, comes a desire to perform better in my running. I know right now I am not competitive enough talent wise, and I may not ever hit that point. However beating myself is something I CAN DO. During my recent 2 week off time I did some thinking [...]
Week of 1/1/2011 Race Report & Training Recap
Yeah I know the week isn’t finished and I’m posting before my training week has concluded but I wanted to get this out there so I could work on another post. Maybe this will get me back in to writing more regularly. Probably not. This week I had the oppurtunity to race in not one, [...]
Altra Zero Drop
Listening to a podcast over the weekend and they had an interview with the founders of a new running shoe company, Altra. They produce a shoe line that pro-ports “zero drop”, meaning the toe and heel are the same distance from the ground. The shoe also has a wider toe box and support the natural [...]
Taking time off sucks….
I decided to take a break and cut back from running once the cross country season ended to kind of let my body heal itself up. Seeing as this was my first real break (NO RUNNING AT ALL) since I started running again, I had only done this after my marathon for one week. This [...]
Levitation
Less than 100m to the finish line, i was pushing everything I had left. Taken at the final cross country meet at FLCC as part of the PGUNYXC series.

The Power of Slow
As I rejoined running after a 10+ year absence, I realized very quickly that this was going to be painful. Not painful in the way of injuries or endurance running. No, it was the pain of being the slowest runner in the pack. I once ran a :52 400m and a 4:54 mile in practice [...]
