With about 7 weeks to go until the 10.10.10 Mohawk-Hudson Marathon, training is in full swing. My friends in the Saratoga Stryders have fondly nicknamed me FG, short for… well, you can probably guess, but let’s just say the “F” part starts with an “F” and ends with an “ing.” And the “G,” of course, [...]

St. Peter’s Keys 5k 2010
Saturday, April 17th, 2010 · No Comments
Instead of Dodging Deer on a muddy trail, as was the case on this weekend last year, I joined a number of my fellow Saratoga Stryders in Spa State Park for the 31st Annual St. Peter’s Keys Run. It’s actually two races: a 10k at 9am and a 5k at 11am. Some of my fellow [...]

Shamrock Shuffle 2010
Sunday, March 28th, 2010 · 3 Comments
Today is an overcast day with 19 MPH winds. I ran the Shamrock Shuffle 5-mile race in Glens Falls and almost exactly nailed my goal time (off by 3 seconds). It was a new PR at the 5-mile distance (32:33) and I’m really happy about it.
Update (3.29.2010): Jen and I left before the results were [...]

A Banner 7-Day Workout Week
Sunday, March 21st, 2010 · 2 Comments
As I wrote about back in January, this year to date I’ve been taking it somewhat easy, not logging too many big miles and focusing more on speed work and faster 6- to 8-mile runs, making more of an effort to run once or twice a week with my running club, the Saratoga Stryders. Running [...]

Runnin’ of the Green (Island) 2010

Despite dealing with some craptastic back pain the past week and a half, I set a new 4-mile race PR this morning (25:52) at the Runnin’ of the Green in Green Island, NY, near Troy, and I was pretty psyched about that.
Like last year’s race (when I [...]

HMRRC Winter Marathon Relay 2010
Sunday, February 21st, 2010 · 6 Comments
After (hopefully) motivating others to run via my photo in today’s Saratogian, it was time to run my third race of 2010. So this morning I headed to Albany to join my two teammates, Olivier and Rick, to run the 24th annual Hudson Mohawk Road Runners Club 3-person Winter Marathon Relay.
Before this morning, I hadn’t [...]

Polar Cap 4-Mile Race 2010
Saturday, February 13th, 2010 · 5 Comments
Last weekend I ran the Polar Cap 4-miler in Lake George for the third time. Back in 2008 it was only the second race I’d ever run (time: 34:10). Last year I was ecstatic when I won my division — the first time doing so (27:12).
Before last Saturday my PR at the 4-mile distance was [...]

The Y Tri Workout
Sunday, January 17th, 2010 · 1 Comment
Since my last marathon in the fall, I’ve been taking it quite a bit easier with my running, logging no more than 20-30 miles per week — and an entire week off while Jen and I were in California for Christmas (the most I’ve taken off running since I started in January 2008).
I decided to [...]

Operation Santa 10k 2009
Saturday, November 21st, 2009 · 7 Comments
It was about 30 degrees warmer for this year’s Operation Santa 10k in Hudson Falls, NY. The sun was even shining brightly, a stark contrast to the 20-degree temps and piercing winds of last year’s race (where I also sported the beginnings of my ’stache from the 2nd annual ABMGC – set for a [...]
