"We have a strong team heading into Join the Voices, perhaps one of the strongest teams I've seen lined up together for VCTC. With our 5th overall in the Marathon we're well positioned to knock off the Whippets for the division. The 5 miler…"

"VCTC is #1.  It was certainly close and very well done by all.  How come this wasn't being shouted from the rooftops.  A win and we're top of the league.  What a fantastic job guys!"

"Looks like we edged out Dashing Whippets for the top spot in the B division on Portugal Day [pending what seem like the inevitable NYRR corrections to the results.] Good stuff!"

Race report: Manhattan Half-Marathon

Manhattan Half-Marathon: 2.5 loops of Central Park.



1:26:37 (6:37 / mi)



(226 / 5441 overall; 218 / 3297 M; 47 / 574 M30-34)



Good enough for a PR by a whopping 4:20 over my Westchester Half. For the first time, I feel a vague sense of confidence in my upcoming Napa Valley Marathon (knock wood).



The plan was to run 6:42 over the first 10 miles, then let it all out and see what happens over the last 5K. Actually, the plan was originally to run… Continue

Race report: first ever track race!

NYRR Thursday Night at the Races 1/7/2010



Mile: 5:30 (83, 86, 83, 78)

800m: 2:29 (35, 39, 38, 37)



There's a danger in writing a track race report that reading the report will take longer than actually running the race, but regardless, here’s the report from my very first track race ever, indoors or outdoors. I can start off by saying it definitely won't be my last, as this was as much fun as I've ever had racing.



The indoor track at the Armory is a… Continue

Race report: Scarsdale Fall Foliage 5K

Kevin and I decided to venture into the chilly 45 degree, rainy, windy Westchester afternoon to put the VCTC mark on the Scarsdale Fall Foliage 5K this Sunday. I think this is usually a fairly small local race at the Scarsdale Historical Society, and given the foul weather, it was even smaller than usual. I would guess there was less than 50 people in total, with a lot of kids and families having a fun Sunday run and it turns out, locals enjoying their first races ever. Still, a race is a race,… Continue

Pre-race



Jeff and I hitch a ride with Matt to the Westchester County Center, making such good time on the highway that we find ourselves facing an hour before race time. Much better than finding ourselves late, though! The… Continue

Thanks for the compliment...As you probably know, Stanford had (and still has to a lesser degree) an amazing program while I was there, and I owe those times to "the machine" and Vin Lananna's coaching.
I might try to make it to a group run this month, but definitely on May 1st Saturday run...Looking forward to meeting up!

Hey Mike, Great to connect! I was wondering if I'd meet up with any Stanford peeps...We tooled around the Dish, Campus Drive, etc. too. Ah, the good old days. I am staging a comeback to running with a group again--best case scenario a couple of races this spring/summer! What's your participation on the VCTC like? I'm definitely out of shape, so ready to EASE on into it...

NJ is a solid race, good crowd support, but not crowded. 2 loops so great for a PR and my husband got to see me 6 times walking to different points on the loops. Despite the weather, I only have good things to say about NJ - and great goodies - a hat and a long sleeve tech shirt

Hey Mike,

I always wonder how fast you are going at in your profile pic?

You never change even at sub 5:00 pace during track workout.
In this pic however you are surging and almost look like about to kill someone, lol.
