    Sorry, that this is going to be kind of a rant. So, skip it and I won’t be offended. I have been really frustrated with my running for the past couple of weeks. I have been having problems with my ITB (I think), since the BK half marathon. I ran it with some new shoes…

    Sunday morning’s race was a pretty fun one. Luckily, the rain held off for just long enough. There was actually some pleasant misting during the last portion, that felt awesome. After switching back to my “Wave Inspire” shoes, I’m happy to report that I was able to run without any knee pain, whatsoever, on Sunday.…

    I borrowed this book from my friend at church on Sunday. It turns out that he had just barely received it back from another one of our friends who had just finished reading it. I guess none of that is really relevant, hahahaha. Anyway, I just started it on the train yesterday morning. Today, I’m…

    The New York Road Runner’s club announced the results of the NYC Marathon today. But Reagan and I were actually both able to login last night and discover that we had not made it in this year. She asked me if I was bummed. I said no. But now that I think about it, I…

    This weekend ended up being a lot better than I had initially anticipated. There was, of course the race on Saturday morning, which I was expecting to be the highlight of my weekend. I thought this because I was expecting to have to work, for the rest of the weekend. I did spend Saturday afternoon,…

    Me, alone on the 2 train at 6 AM Coney Island Parachute Jump This morning was the Brooklyn Half Marathon. It was a lonely ride into the BK, without my running partner. I had a bunch of friends that were all going down together, but I had to go early, to pick up my bib,…

    This was a super fun race. Reagan and I both loved it. The finish line was right outside the entrance to my building. So it was super convenient for us. Our friend Jared came down and ran it with us too. He and Reagan actually finished together. Reagan’s goal was 23 minutes. Mine was 20…

    [Reagan, in front of the great lawn, before the race] I thought it was great that the benefit for today’s race was for kidney health. Reagan and I were joking the entire time about that scene from 30 Rock this week, where Dr. Spogemen talks about how kidney transplantation is no laughing matter. Today was…

    Even though this shot of Reagan is small, look how cool it is that both of her feet are off of the ground. She is flying.

    We had a pretty good weekend, considering that it was supposed to continue to rain all day Saturday. Apparently, mother nature was able to get it all out of her system early that day, because it actually shaped up to be a pretty nice little weekend, weather-wise after Saturday morning. Reagan cut hair in the…
