Paul Swem commented on Michael Arnstein's group NYC Marathon + Club Van Transportation"Hi all -
A newbie here....
I am confused about the 7:10 departure time, as the NYRR site mentions that all busses have to be over the V Bridge by 6:40.
You must have some other means of getting there?

Paul Swem commented on James Moloney, Jr.'s group 2011 NYC Marathon"Hi marathoners,
I'm registered for the 2011 run, but fighting a nagging calf tear.
Should be back on the road in another 3 weeks or so.

Kind of nervous about it - it's been 10 years…"

David King left a comment for Paul Swem"Paul, Great to hear from you. I really look forward to running on teams with you. I'm not much anymore for running in Central Park, but to know we will have good teams is an incentive. Are you coming to the Awards Dinner Saturday?"
Arnold Gore replied to Paul Swem's discussion Brooklyn half-mara? in the group Mens 60+"Hi Paul,

Paul Swem replied to Paul Swem's discussion Brooklyn half-mara? in the group Mens 60+"Hi Arnie - and thanks for the quick reply
I'll take care of that membership fee later today. Thanks for the "heads-up".

Paul Swem replied to Paul Swem's discussion Brooklyn half-mara? in the group Mens 60+"Hi Arnie,
Just got back in from a long and s-l-o-w 13 miler. Tired and sore!
I'm a new resident of the Hudson Heights area, and not yet an "official" member of the team. (Are there dues?)
I'm registered and have a profile, but…"
Arnold Gore replied to Paul Swem's discussion Brooklyn half-mara? in the group Mens 60+"Hi Paul,
I'm registered for the Brooklyn half. Ed James usually also does almost all NYRR races and that would give us a 3 man team, there probably will also be others.
I did the Celebrate life half marathon in Rock Hill on March 14 in 2;04 in…"

- Hi Paul,
We had our first team points race today, The Coogan's 5K. The next team points race is the Scotland 10K on April 3 in Central Park see www.nyrr.org
I will not be in town at that time, but we may have some others who can make it,
The races are on weekends, so you might be able to make them.
Our club meets for a run on Saturday mornings at 8am at 241st Street and Broadway in fron of the tennis courts at Van Cortlandt Park. Hope to see you.
