2014 Central Park Marathon And Half Marathon Race Recaps #nycruns
The only thing that helps me keep a steady pace during the race is listening to my favorite rock bands Korn and Disturbed. They inspire me to push myself to do my best. I love them point-blank. I did notice I struggled with my pace during the hills. It would have been nice if […]
Supercooled, the Sequel: 2014 Super 5K Race Recap
Every year on the morning of Super Bowl Sunday, Running Fit puts on a 5K race. Outdoors. The only thing crazier than a race in this kind of weather is the number of people who show up for it, and the Novi Civic Center was packed with close to 2,000 runners. Last year’s race had […]
The Bucket List

Winter’s the time to dream and plan—the time of year when research new races, those I’ll run and those dream of running. After much thought, I […]

Half Marathon Challenge Day Two – What a Difference a Day Makes
Sunday morning was the second day of my back-to-back half marathon challenge. The difference between Saturday and Sunday was like night and day. Saturday’s race, the Brrr-oklyn Hot Chocolate Half Marathon in Prospect Park was cold, windy and overcast—but bearable. Sunday’s Fred Lebow Manhattan Half Marathon was cold and very very windy—the mental aspect of […]
The Other Brooklyn Half
The annoying buzz was my 5am wakeup call, and then I heard the angry-howling winds. What did I get myself into? Using Chico’s walk to gauge the weather, I decided it was windy but not that cold. It was 27 degrees with a wind chill of 12, it’ll be ok. After Chico’s walk I ate […]
I’m Down 3 Pounds
One of my goals for 2014 was to be healthier. So after overindulging during the holidays (our holiday season goes until Three Kings Day on January 6th) Esther and I agreed to go back on Weight Watchers. For the past 15 to 20 years I’ve lost 200 pounds, 20 pounds 10 times. I’ve tried the […]
