Year-End Race Roundup: Jack’s Run at Bar Beach
Jack’s Run is an autism awareness event where all proceeds benefit NSSA (Nassau Suffolk Services for Autism). These charity races are great because everyone seems to really enjoy themselves, a positive message is delivered and some money is raised for a good cause — Jack’s Run was no exception. My primary rule for choosing races […]
First Thoughts on the Garmin Forerunner 610
Well, as I stated yesterday, despite the fact I really wanted a Garmin Forerunner 610, I somehow left Runner’s Edge on Sunday with a Nike+ Sportwatch GPS instead. The Nike watch is what got me interested in GPS watches in the first place and I had been in love with its overall look and design. […]
A stopwatch decision has been made
A few weeks ago, the Nike+ SportWatch GPS caught my attention. I hadn’t been thinking about upgrading my simple, 6-year old Timex stopwatch, but this thing really impressed me. There are a few major items that appealed to me right away: First, the giant screen and numbers. In the winter months, I frequently run in […]

Race Report: St James 5-Miler
I have a friend who started running on a treadmill over the winter. We got to talking about some of the races I did late last year and he told me he’d be interested in trying some in 2011. Shortly after that, he sent me the information about this race, held on April 16. At […]
Race Report: Race for Spinal Victory 2011
Ok, so I’m really late with this post. I wasn’t planning on turning this into a running blog, so I was thinking I should limit the running posts and not report on all the races I’m doing. I really wanted to make more technical and programming-related posts, but I’m spending much more of my free […]
2010 Snowball Run
Yesterday, I participated in the 2010 Snowball Run in Wantagh. I like this run, but I’m a bit biased because last year’s Snowball Run was a big milestone for me. Last year’s Snowball Run proved I could handle the sub-freezing temperatures and I just beat my 40-minute goal with a 39:54. This year’s Snowball Run was […]
2010 Seaford Hot Chocolate Run
I’m a little late with this post, but last week, on December 4, I ran in the 2010 Seaford Hot Chocolate Run. It was, as advertised, short, flat and fast. Really fast. Currently, I do my normal neighborhood run at around a 7:40 min/mile pace, but, I must have really wanted that hot chocolate at […]
No marathons for me, thank you
I run about twenty miles per week. Specifically, I try to get in five 4-mile runs over the course of a week. From this, I derive good health and happiness. I am at an ideal weight and I am in the best shape of my life. Whenever I talk about running, the question I get most […]
