    Hello, I’m happy to report that I earned an A, this week. It was my first week of training for this year’s NYC Marathon (only 19 more weeks to go, hehe). Training started Monday, So I could have slacked Sunday. But notice, I didn’t. Also, most of the routes that I do nearby my house,…

    I’m thinking about having this image tattooed on my chest and back. That way maybe it will be easier for illiterate people to figure out why I’m vibing them so hard when I pass them on the bridge. I’m also thinking about starting to lobby for a the GW to adopt the approach that has…

    (Above: 2009 Mini 10k, photo by: me) The only official item that we have calendared for this weekend is a race that Reagan is running. It is the NYRR Mini 10K. It is a Women’s-only race that dates back to the 70’s– and “mini” refers to the miniskirts that were popular during the era. The…

    Ok, first of all– I hit a few milestones this week. I broke 700 miles on my Nike profile. Second, I broke 200 miles, on my goal to run 500 miles between Jan. ’10 and Jan ’11. I ran 5 days this week. Even though my pace was not as good as it could have…

    Reagan: There weren’t really any clear shots of Reag, this time. So, I did some crude editing to make it easier to spot her. The cuteness definitely still comes through, even though the images are so small. Jake in the park: Jake at the finish: This was such a fun race. It was the first…

    Isn’t Reagan such a hot little runner? Me:  Not so much. Hahahah Looking forward to the Brooklyn Half Marathon on Saturday. Or, at least, that is what I keep telling myself.

    This is my weekly running evaluation, that should have actually been posted yesterday. But, we have family in town. So, you know…  Anyway, I have decided that it will be easier to follow the normal Sunday to Saturday week, since that way Nike adds my totals for me. I may post it on Saturday, maybe…

    I think that I’m going to start evaluating my running on a weekly basis, assigning a letter grade each Friday. I came up with that idea, because this week I earned an F-. It is only Friday, but I can already make that assessment, since today was my first run, since last Friday. So, from…

    Hi, this is two posts in a row with the word “running” in the title. This one, however, unlike the previous one, is actually about running. A couple of weeks ago, I was commenting on how much I would like to get back into a routine of running. I’m happy to report, that I have…

    I have been so bad at running lately (by lately, I mean, since last October). When I heard that we were going to be back into the 60’s weather-wise, this week, I knew my excuses had run out. It seemed a bit nutty to try to get back into a routine, two days after daylight…
