| 9.548 | 8/9/2002 | run | 12 | 75 minutes. Felt good today. Covered plenty of ground on both runs. In the evening ran pretty hard for an hour finishing with a loop of the reservoir in 9:20, which only goes to prove you shouldn't time your runs when you're not in season, cause it sure felt faster than this and knowing the time only disappointed. chilled for the last 15 minutes. |
| 9.319 | 9/1/2001 | run | 10 | 69:31 on cp bridal path with nyu guys including lower reservoir loop in 11:08 and big loop in 17:01. Feel good after (and felt good during) this week, my highest mileage week ever. |
| 8.77 | 12/9/2001 | run | 13 | 90:45 with tucker, cougar, travis, and joe including big loop (16:30) and lower reservoir loop (11:02) felt good |

felt good today. |
| 8.316 | 12/12/2004 | run | 17 | 2 hours.
ran up to the park, typical first 1/2 hour. added great hill to a normal loop, and kind of made a figure-8 to complete the loop and return to the great hill. did 3 consecutive loops on the great hill and returned to the start of the 2.5m loop. one loop in 15:17 which brought me pretty close to 2 hours. felt good. not over-extended or anything. each great hill loop got successively faster, but nothing ridiculous. saw an incredible pixies show tonight. going again tomorrow. |
| 8.256 | 1/2/2005 | run | 13 | 91 minutes.

| 7.652 | 7/11/2001 | run | 12 | 2 loops on cp trail + (34:42,33:28,14:57 = 1:23:07) faster pace than I expected but mike felt good today. Last 15 minutes hurt, especially my quads. |
| 7.643 | 5/27/2001 | run | 15 | 3 loops at cp bridal path (36:15, 35:37, 34:39) last loop hurt - didn't realize I was going that fast, felt good otherwise |
| 7.489 | 4/14/2002 | run | 15 | 1:45 with 2.5 res loop in 17:03. Warm today (70+) - first warm long run in a while - felt it. |
| 7.427 | 3/21/2004 | run | 16 | 1:45. felt good today after 2 days of heavy legs.
directly up to the park, 4 2.5m loops (16:35, 16:00, 15:36, 14:41) finishing at 59th st. the 10 miles on the reservoir averaged 6:11 pace. |
| 7.327 | 3/20/2005 | run | 23 | 2 hours. mostly with marc.

| 7.162 | 3/5/2006 | run | 19 | 3 loops on the road in central park. with marc.
last half of the 3rd loop was less than pleasant. i've got to get back on a serios schedule if i am going to try to train for real again. in actuality the third loop was the same pace as the first loop, it just felt twice as hard. the second loop was marginally faster. ~6:40 pace for the whole run. |
| 6.478 | 8/6/2001 | run | 8 | 63:13 recovery run on cp trails legs felt good today despite yesterday's race. I pulled a muscle in my back this morning and it is painfully affecting my diaphragm. It is agony to breathe deeply or to turn too quickly. This made for a somewhat unpleasant run. fortunately, i don't have a hard workout until thursday. |
| 6.032 | 6/22/2005 | run | 13 | 90 minutes. loops in 15:59,16:01,15:58,15:56.
felt decent, pretty effortless. had a trailer for the first loop. why do people do this? why? the corporate challenge was today which is impressive in volume and ludacris by most other measures. the idea of following the course is lost on what, 10, 20 percent of the participants? next time just |
| 5.968 | 4/17/2002 | run | 11 | still hot today - 75:40 with 2.5 res loop in 17:03 |

| 5.138 | 9/16/2001 | run | 25 | something like a respectable run and a bit of a surprise. bagged philly, couldn't get it up. a good dinner and a few drinks last night seemed to help my general mood - starting to feel normal again. finished on reservoir with lap of 10:03 (6:25 pace). 3 other 2.5 mile splits available (16:52, 16:32, 16:53) from the beginning, middle and end. Safe to say the whole thing was under 7:00 pace, guessing around 6:40 and actually felt good doing it. total run time - 2:46:43. |
| 5.098 | 6/24/2001 | run | 15 | 3 loops at cp bridal path (36:38, 34:29, 33:52 = 1:45:00) felt pretty good |

| 4.887 | 8/11/2004 | run | 10 | 72 minutes.
for reasons both meteorological and intestinal, i cut this run short. and i felt good at the outset.... |
| 4.887 | 12/5/2004 | run | 13 | 90 minutes. up to the park, 3 loops - 16:11, 15:46, 15:10. ran into hany and ryan at the end - caught them actually. :)
felt good. |
| 4.887 | 11/24/2001 | run | 8 | 60 minutes from keri's brother's house. Felt good. Slightly hilly, picked it up at the end. |
| 4.832 | 8/23/2004 | run | 8 | hour. after a summer of trying i caught up with the manhattan track club boys for a run. older than the nyu boys, they are still a good deal younger than me... ah, youth.
my knee was pretty decent today. |
| 4.802 | 11/17/2002 | run | 13 | 90 minutes. Good effort. 2.5m loop in 16:16 65 minutes into the run.
|
| 4.794 | 9/23/2001 | run | 18 | 2 hours at central park. Feeling a little under the weather but I just think I need some sleep after getting up early for yesterday's meet. Met up with brendan healey for 20 minutes at around 1 hour and proceeded to run the 2.5 loop in 15:52 (6:20/mile), slowed down for another loop, then finished with a loop of 10:06 around the reservoir. |
| 4.789 | 7/15/2001 | run | 20 | 2:25 at van cortland early morning, a little sluggish due to the hour, felt pretty good otherwise, massage tomorrow |
| 4.741 | 7/10/2001 | run | 5 | wtc5 - 40:13 some calf and quad soreness but worst was late yesterday. Got on the bike after 2nd run which really felt good - loosened everything up |
| 4.741 | 8/1/2004 | run | 22 | 2:30 with marc and jimmy.
more rain, more chafing... loops in 16:51, 16:34, 16:15. finish down the wsh @ ~6:30 pace. not as strong as last week for last 1/2 hour. otherwise felt good. |
| 4.741 | 11/3/2004 | run | 8 | hour easy. felt as good as one can on a day when the most ignorant president of all time gets re-elected. at least the part of ohio where i grew up was 66% kerry. |
| 4.723 | 7/22/2004 | run | 7 | 50 minutes.
something about last night's run disagreed with my left knee. woke up with some pain on the inner part beside the kneecap. took a couple advil. wore the nikes today instead of the adidas. it loosened up during the run, didn't affect my gait, but didn't feel good. |
| 4.694 | 8/11/2004 | run | 8 | hour easy. felt pretty good. this run was a bit quicker than other mornings, even if not by design.
later this morning, i scored pixies tix for 12/12. |
| 4.662 | 3/25/2002 | run | 8 | B and W - 60:09 with frattini, who ran a good portion of it without moving his arms. i don't know why. I hate this route for so many reasons -it's short, trafficky necessitating many stops, the stair on the williamsburg bridge, it's dirty. basically, it should be retired. Sore today. Sorest since marathon training. Cold is not better - may be worse. |
| 4.627 | 3/30/2005 | run | 4 | 30 minutes.
still fkd up today. was way too tired and hungry at the end of the day to do a second run, so all i have to show for today is 4 miles. |
| 4.625 | 6/13/2004 | run | 18 | 2 hours. entered the park at 72nd. up for 4 loops (16:17, 16:00, 15:49, 15:21), and a small loop to a finish at tavern on the green.
slept in, felt decent. not too crowded in the park. |
| 4.619 | 9/9/2004 | run | 8 | hour with marc.
this was weird. i was in to work at 6:15 today, and because of the early hour my boss had bought coffee. i don't drink coffee, but it was there and for some reason i drank it. well, there is ALOT more caffeine in coffee that in coke. i left work at 4 for the run and i was buzzed from the coffee and probably a little slap happy from lack of sleep. buzzed, i couldn't tell what the hell kind of pace i was running, but it turned out to be faster than i've run in a while, with loops of 16:30 and 16:00. i still was feeling pretty abnormal after the run, my legs felt weird, and things were not exactly stable. took a nap and felt worse when i awoke and had some dinner. |
| 4.592 | 1/27/2002 | run | 15 | 1:46:45 up to central park, 4 2.5 loops, then to keri's. loops in 16:16, 16:11, 16:18, 16:20. Not sure why so quick. Felt good I guess. |
| 4.592 | 8/10/2003 | run | 22 | 2:30. a little slow getting started but felt good once i got going. went out to prospect park, then up the wsh to central park. |
| 4.585 | 12/3/2004 | run | 8 | hour with marc. i felt good but marc didn't. he was sick the next day. he had that weird julie virus that's going around. |
| 4.585 | 1/29/2006 | run | 13 | 4 loops with marc - 15:48,15:01,15:38,15:09.
as marc said, "i'll have to go home and write this down as a real run." somewhat surprised by this, but felt good. |
| 4.558 | 2/20/2005 | run | 25 | 3 hours.
tip backwards, continuing up the west side to 72nd and entering the park there. 3 loops, 2 timed (17:02,17:11) and down to my apartment. felt good, but not going as fast as last time (on purpose). |
| 4.527 | 3/24/2005 | run | 8 | hour easy. felt good during the run which was a bit of a surprise, since my ass was sore during the day from yesterday's run in the slop. |
| 4.501 | 8/25/2004 | run | 13 | 90 minutes.
felt good. 2.5m loops in 16:30, 16:33, 16:44 (it got dark and i wasn't going to be that guy who runs hard narrowly missing the craters) then up on the lit reservoir for 2 loops in 10:31 and 10:02. |
| 4.496 | 6/27/2004 | run | 18 | 2 hours with marc.
up to the park and 5 loops - 16:20?, 16:00, 15:52, 15:40, 14:23. marc was significantly faster on the last loop. this was quite manageable and felt pretty relaxed. i wasn't feeling spry, yet it passed by quicker than any recent long run. |
| 4.416 | 9/22/2004 | run | 8 | didn't go to work today.
wasn't feeling too well. had a slight fever last night and decided it would be wise to sleep until i woke up, which turned out to be 11:30. didn't feel good enough to go to work. by the end of the day i was feeling better, just my head was congested, so i decided to try and run. big mistake. by the last 15 minutes i was exhausted. |
| 4.38 | 10/13/2003 | run | 2 | 15 minutes. Stiff, but loosened up after 5-7 minutes.
got back to new york late tonight. a spate of phone messages and emails greeted me with congratulations. they felt nearly as good as the race. thanks to all. keep on training. |
| 4.326 | 8/24/2003 | run | 17 | 2 hours with marc. maybe a little quicker than normal. definitely felt it a bit. included a 6:20 split up the great hill and a 2.5m loop in 15:50.
left my keys in a porta-john and only realized 1.5 hours later after a lacksadaisical return trip to my apartment. fortunately i found them on the first try. wasn't expecting that. |
| 4.279 | 8/26/2003 | run | 10 | 71:30 + 8 strides. The strides felt good. |
| 4.237 | 1/26/2005 | run | 11 | 75 minutes with marc on the roads (full loop and 5m loop) in the park. |
| 4.219 | 4/29/2004 | run | 8 | hour easy. quads heavy at the start but loosened up. loop in 16:24. ran into stephane bois on second loop and finished it with him. |
| 4.219 | 6/11/2003 | run | 10 | 73 minutes with 3 2.5m reservoir loops (15:56, 16:44, 16:45). bumped into richie borrero for the first loop. he was going a bit harder than i planned, hence the fast first loop. |
| 4.09 | 10/3/2001 | run | 12 | 1:21:26 on cp trails. Finished with 2.5 loop of 15:32 had decided this beforehand, don't know why exactly. Last 4 minutes were a death march yet the 15:32 was what I expected to run the loop in - so I have some pacing issues. need to start working on finding 'marathon pace'. |
| 4.087 | 9/6/2003 | run | 4 | leg felt good enough to run 4 miles but not much further. basically feels very tight on the inner part of my right hamstring just above the knee. makes it feel like i can't extend it fully. was walking quickly without pain for the first time since it happened, both last night and this morning. it hurts a little when i walk now. still stretching, icing, compressing and taking advil. |
| 4.031 | 12/16/2001 | run | 13 | from keri-nicole's, 72nd to the park for 2 loops and back. 2nd loop - 41:37, first loop was probably 2 minutes slower though no exact time. Total run - 1:36:50. Mega-sore throat appeared. |
| 3.983 | 7/20/2003 | run | 22 | up to cp. 4x2.5m reservoir loop(17:03, 16:46, 16:35, 16:16). 1 lower reservoir loop. out 72nd st to the west side finishing at stuyvesant hs. 2:30 total time. |
| 3.974 | 8/21/2005 | run | 26 | slept in this morning since i didn't yesterday. 3hours. started in central park to minimize the time spent on the road, as i eventually headed up to vcp. 1:20 minutes there, about 35 minutes in central park. mostly on grass up the west side until dyckman. felt pretty good - this went well. |
| 3.936 | 2/28/2006 | run | 9 | 4 upper loops with marc. pace was more decent than sunday. i was feeling good - hamstring and knee. jimmy done good yesterday. |
| 3.91 | 6/17/2004 | run | 8 | hour easy. started out in a really hard rain which lasted for 30 minutes. wasn't running too fast today. marc didn't run with me today and when i got back to collegeboard, pat, who signs marc in when he joins me at work, asked, "where's your buddy? oh he can't run in the rain?" that was pretty funny. |
| 3.185 | 12/23/2005 | run | 9 | really tired today |
| 3.149 | 8/20/2002 | run | 11 | 75 minutes sluggish today |
| 3.115 | 9/24/2004 | run | 0 | went to work today but don't think it would be wise to try and run. |

| 3.081 | 7/28/2004 | run | 13 | 90 minutes with marc. we got going pretty decent today: 16:03, 16:08, and 15:26. |
| 3.081 | 3/3/2004 | run | 5 | no time. watch battery died today. |
| 3.048 | 11/15/2004 | run | 6 | 45 minutes easy with marc. kinda sore today. |
| 3.048 | 7/23/2004 | run | 4 | 30 minutes. less knee pain today - just a faint stiffness. |
| 3.048 | 9/25/2004 | run | 0 | feeling better today but marc suggested i not run.

| 3.048 | 3/17/2004 | run | 5 | 44:00. little different route today. started from bobst library. icy too. |
| 3.048 | 5/19/2002 | run | 13 | slow and stiff today from yesterday. 94:04 with 2.5 res loops in 17:58 and 18:05. |
| 3.048 | 9/21/2002 | run | 8 | 60 minutes at vcp. much better today but am very drained. Was exhausted after this run. |
| 3.048 | 5/3/2002 | run | 4 | 25 minutes plus 4 strides. Sore today from the damn 200s. |
| 3.048 | 8/13/2004 | run | 6 | 47 minutes.
cut this short because i'm working out earlier today. |
| 3.048 | 9/28/2004 | run | 0 | i had every intention of running today, but it was raining really hard. i went out and turned around 3x. |
| 3.048 | 7/12/2004 | run | 8 | hour with marc. feeling decent today. 2 loops in 16:05, 16:24. |
| 3.048 | 12/12/2005 | run | 8 | easy. first 5 with les page.
a little sore today, but not bad. |
| 3.048 | 3/9/2002 | run | 13 | 1:32:20 - long run today because tomorrow is a travel day |
| 3.015 | 1/19/2005 | run | 10 | 73 minutes. 3 loops. first untimed. 2nd - 16:10, 3rd - 15:50. relatively much warmer today. |
| 2.984 | 10/17/2001 | run | 8 | hour start easy then moderate more sniffles showed up today, doesn't seem too bad though |
| 2.984 | 6/22/2001 | run | 5 | 37:17, 3 loops of reservoir + (11:39, 11:24, 11:17) quads really sore today but is culprit the bike or the mileage? |
| 2.984 | 9/14/2001 | run | 12 | a little better today. Gained some strength at seeing jerry macari, who raised his right arm as we passed. (17:17, 26:50, 10:52, 16:37, 10:43 = 1:22:21 for ~12.5) |
| 2.953 | 3/6/2002 | run | 8 | 60:19 easy, 4 strides. achy and tired today. Have a slight cold. Also could be yesterday's workout. |

| 2.762 | 5/21/2006 | run | 18 | 2 hours, all in the park. wacky route to avoid the tyranny of the loop. |
| 2.762 | 7/21/2004 | run | 13 | 90 minutes.
with marc. loops in 16:25, 16:16, 16:26, 16:04. bumped into hans on the 3rd loop |

with tucker. bumped into marc in the park and he joined up for a while. |
| 2.721 | 10/2/2002 | run | 4 | pathetically slow 1/2 run. Didn't eat enough or sleep enough today and did this really late. Hurt worse than the Sunday long run. |
| 2.721 | 6/18/2005 | run | 17 | 2 hours. couple loops in just under 17. kinda sore. long run today because i'm gonna try and run hard on monday. |
| 2.707 | 3/29/2002 | run | 4 | 22 minutes to track 4 strides and stretch 10 minutes back to motel (in fredericksburg) bad news today for k. running not very important. |
| 2.704 | 8/14/2001 | run | 6 | 4 loops on reservoir (11:28, 11:14, 10:14, 10:28 = 43:26). some puffy guy with a walkman tried to race me on the 3rd loop, hence the 10:14. the 10:28 was carryover. |
| 2.704 | 5/19/2004 | run | 10 | 75 minutes with marc. kinda quick, not by design. 2 loops in 15:41, 15:14. tried to slow down, then detoured off the loop. |
| 2.704 | 11/29/2001 | run | 9 | 62:15, coles up broadway to central park, big loop, finish at keri-nicole's |
| 2.676 | 7/14/2001 | run | 8 | 56:18 on cp bridal path (34:54 loop starting at trail end not 59th) with mike e, 8-100yd pickups |
| 2.676 | 6/27/2001 | run | 12 | 2 loops on cp trail + (35:31,34:08,15:54 = 1:25:33) 2nd loop with craig chilton, this run hurt a little in the end, it was hot |
| 2.676 | 1/18/2006 | run | 5 | with marc. incredibly shitty weather. rain and dropping temperatures. we cut it short at one loop. |
| 2.675 | 9/3/2004 | run | 6 | 45 minutes.
no worse than yesterday which is good, but no better either. |
| 2.649 | 7/31/2003 | run | 13 | 80:53 with 4 2.5m reservoir loops in 15:18, 15:33, 15:20 and 15:14. ran with marc antone for the first time. we actually tried to slow down the second loop. we had no intention of going this fast. it's ~6:10 pace. |
| 2.646 | 12/18/2005 | run | 18 | 2 hours - died a little at the end but i think i was going pretty good otherwise |
| 2.646 | 1/4/2004 | run | 15 | 1:42:15 with marc.
good pace. 2.5m reservoir loops in 15:47, 15:38 and 15:19. |
| 2.618 | 1/2/2002 | run | 10 | 73:47 from apartment to central park. Feeling good since the virus. |
| 2.596 | 8/29/2001 | run | 15 | 3 loops at cp bridal path(37:01, 37:04, 40:31 = 1:54:37), largely unconcerned with pace, trying to stay relaxed. Dark for last loop which didn't help matters, pretty hungry too. |
| 2.591 | 9/2/2003 | run | 4 | 31:30. legs felt ok. |
| 2.59 | 8/6/2002 | run | 11 | 75 minutes including 2.5 at a good clip and 2.5 faster still, 8 hill sprints |
| 2.59 | 11/17/2004 | run | 11 | 76 minutes with marc. 1.5 to 2 mile pickup on return and good pace overall. |
| 2.567 | 8/7/2001 | run | 8 | brooklyn bridge 8 - 56:42 measured the brooklyn bridge 8 today, it's 8.6. This apparently inspired me to a new modest standard for the course. Still only 6:36 pace, with 7:00 first mile. hot! - 90+ even at 7:30pm. |
| 2.563 | 12/21/2003 | run | 13 | 93 minutes with marc. 2.5m res loops in 16:10, 16:17 and 15:45. picked it up pretty good at the end. |
| 2.563 | 7/5/2001 | run | 10 | 2 loops on cp trail (34:16,33:03) felt much better |
| 2.56 | 7/2/2004 | run | 7 | 50 minutes. last night was the first night in this training cycle where i was pretty exhausted. i was in bed early but feeling none too alert this morning. fortunately today is a short workday so i wll be taking a nap before tonight's workout. |
| 2.545 | 2/23/2005 | run | 13 | 13+. 91 minutes. 2 6m loops in central park plus an additional great hill loop, starting and finishing the run from work.
ran this at a decent pace. |
| 2.545 | 7/25/2001 | run | 10 | hot. Moving slowly this morning and didn't get out the door til 10:30. Dumb. As a consequence cut the run short, from 12 to 10 - the pace was slipping. First loop - 35:26, 2nd - 36:08. |
| 2.543 | 8/18/2003 | run | 8 | hour easy. actually only like 58 minutes. so it wasn't an hour and it probably wasn't that easy. ran with marc. quads a little heavy today. |
| 2.536 | 4/6/2008 | run | 6 | feeling good enough to run again. pissed that i missed so many days after finally getting, ahem, "rolling" |
| 2.536 | 9/29/2002 | run | 17 | 2 hours, 1st hour with nyu guys, 2.5m loops in 15:45, 16:15 so moving pretty good |
| 2.536 | 11/8/2004 | run | 6 | 45 minutes. quick. it's easy to feel good running 30 miles on 5 days a week. |
| 2.534 | 8/10/2005 | run | 13 | 90 minutes with marc - 16:36,16:24,15:41,14:16. last 2 loops felt much better than the first 2. |
| 2.534 | 1/23/2006 | run | 9 | 2+ loops with marc. this was the best i've felt in ages. |
| 2.534 | 5/11/2003 | run | 13 | 92:16 with reservoir loops in 16:52, 16:45, 16:01. Felt decent. |
| 2.534 | 7/13/2004 | run | 13 | 90 minutes. felt decent. loops in 16:12, 16:16, 16:15. |
| 2.534 | 9/11/2002 | run | 10 | 75 minutes easy - felt terrible. |
| 2.534 | 8/16/2001 | run | 6 | 50:00 with 8x100. Tired this morning but felt ok once I got going. |
| 2.52 | 6/16/2004 | run | 13 | 90 minutes with marc. we started out too hard. consequently the last 1/2 hour was hell. we ran up the west side to 125th, hammered down morningside, then finished in the park. we managed a 16:15 loop in there. |
| 2.515 | 1/16/2002 | run | 10 | 75 easy. From keri's 2 big reservoir loops and home. One reservoir loop timed at 17:22 |
| 2.507 | 9/18/2001 | run | 5 | 38:05 - procrastinated getting out of bed this morning but felt ok on the run |
| 2.484 | 9/9/2003 | run | 13 | 90 minutes. no pain at all. which is good, but just weird. wish i could get first class medical treatment like a real athlete. not knowing is killing me. |
| 2.48 | 7/23/2005 | run | 8 | hour easy. went in the afternoon. legs felt decent. |
| 2.48 | 9/26/2002 | run | 8 | hour easy in the rain - not a fun run but felt ok |
| 2.48 | 11/10/2004 | run | 8 | hour easy. loops in 17:15, 16:50.
knee felt fine. |
| 2.48 | 7/11/2001 | run | 5 | wtc5 - 39:03 quads sore to start but felt ok by end |
| 2.48 | 3/26/2002 | run | 4 | 31:51. this evening i realized i felt better than i had in over a week. it happened all of the sudden. |
| 2.48 | 6/25/2001 | run | 8 | brooklyn bridge - 8 (1:01:32) recovery run, best I've felt in a week |
| 2.472 | 12/1/2001 | run | 12 | 1:22:54 with nyu guys. Coles to central park via broadway, bridal path to e90th, 2 big loops (16:57, 16:39), 1 upper reservoir loop (10:46). A little sore from yesterday, a little tired at the end. |
| 2.459 | 1/31/2006 | run | 6 | nobody told me the armory was closed for workouts tonight, so i ran up and found out the hard way, stretched, then went home. probably do my hamstring some good anyway. |
| 2.454 | 9/9/2003 | run | 6 | 46 minutes. best my leg has felt since last tuesday. myabe i'll be able to work out on thursday. |
| 2.428 | 3/15/2005 | run | 13 | 90 minutes. loops in 17:00, 16:40.
still cold, especially up the west side getting to the park. felt decent. |
| 2.428 | 6/21/2004 | run | 8 | hour easy. felt decent tonight. guess i've recovered from last week. |
| 2.402 | 8/2/2003 | run | 8 | 58 minutes. waited too long to eat. felt like shit at the end of this run, therefore no strides. |
| 2.402 | 12/17/2001 | run | 9 | brooklyn bridge 8 heading down the east side - 62:22. Felt fine until after then achy and cold. |
| 2.402 | 10/13/2001 | run | 6 | 46 minutes on the albany course, felt bad. Heavy legs, kinda tired, as I've been all week. |
| 2.382 | 1/23/2005 | run | 21 | 2:32. on the big loop in the park. footing wasn't great, but i've run in much worse. too many people decided playing in the snow would be fun instead of watching the pregame shows. probably because fox had the first game and new yorkers knew better than to watch those sanctimonious f-cks. |
| 2.381 | 9/7/2003 | run | 8 | today was encouraging. able to run an hour - twice as far as yesterday - with probably half the pain. seemed to loosen up second 1/2 of the run and at times i was actually able to think about something other than my leg. it's tight, but i'm not limping. still icing and advil.
it stiffens up when i finish. also able to reproduce the pain without running. if i extend my right foot forward and slide it across the floor, as if wiping off the bottom of a shoe, that does it. |
| 2.378 | 10/13/2001 | run | 2 | 15 minute jog and a couple strides to see how my legs felt in order to decide whether to race tomorrow. Will see how it goes. |
| 2.378 | 11/4/2004 | run | 6 | 45 minutes.
ran in the morning. knee felt decent on the run but didn't feel real great afterwards. |
| 2.346 | 2/23/2002 | run | 10 | 70 minutes from my apt up to central park. Easy to start then ran into jimmy lynch in the park and ran with him for a bit. Proceeded to a 16:33 2.5m reservoir loop and a 15:32 of same. |
| 2.325 | 10/18/2004 | run | 2 | this didn't feel good. legs heavy. knee hurt. maybe i started too quickly on fresh legs? plenty of stretching afterward. |
| 2.291 | 5/9/2004 | run | 13 | 90 minutes easy with marc. marc's girlfriend julie was racing in the park so we altered our normal run to catch her at various points during the race and we stopped a couple times to cheer her on. we did run one loop in 16:50, and that was pretty representative of our pace this morning. |
| 2.265 | 1/15/2006 | run | 8 | started out with the intention of going 90 minutes, but i wasn't feeling up to it. i've been stretching my hamstring quite a bit everyday and it definitely feels better every day, yet it seems to tighten up during a run. frustratingly, my knee is feeling really good these days. |
| 2.238 | 8/8/2001 | run | 12 | 2-5m loops on bridal path beginning at e90th and 1 lower reservoir loop (33:55, 33:27, 11:11 = 1:18:34) with isaya. This run was harder than I expected. i have got to make sure that wednesday does not turn into a hard day. it must allow for a quality hard workout on thursday. it was hot again although perhaps not quite as bad as yesterday. i am sick of water and gatorade. |
| 2.204 | 2/19/2006 | run | 13 | 4 loops with marc. i fell at the start of this run. the bad news is that it really hurt. the good news is that it hurt way more than my hamstring. |
| 2.176 | 9/8/2003 | run | 8 | hour. better. for the first half hour i was pretty much able to not think abou my leg, felt more sore than pain. started to hurt more on the way back. still icing and taking advil. |
| 2.161 | 3/26/2006 | run | 18 | 1:55 with marc.
loops in 16:22,15:47,15:38 then we went down and around the bottom of the park picking up the bridle path at e86. from here we ran ~2 loops in 15:00 and 14:34. i felt pretty decent for this - wasn't really pushing the pace at any point. |
| 2.101 | 7/17/2005 | run | 21 | 2.5 hours, 2 with marc. up to the cloisters and back. that meant some hills which turned this run into one of those affairs where you keep looking at your watch and are amazed, shocked, stunned, and dismayed that only 2 minutes have passed since the last look. fortunately this only started at around 2 hours. marc thought the pace was pretty good, so it probably was. |
| 2.07 | 11/6/2005 | run | 13 | 4 loops, with marc. had a watch so i would get to mile 18 of the marathon in time to see the women leaders go by. so i timed some of this run. too hard. marc's doing, not mine. i complained shamelessly during the run - 15:19, 15:04, 14:43, 14:36.
good time at joe mcveigh's shindig after the marathon. |
| 2.067 | 7/25/2004 | run | 23 | 2.5 hours. up to central park, 5 loops - 16:27, 16:24, 16:18, 16:12, 16:04, exit at 72nd and down the west side. according to the mile marks on the wsh, i was running 6 minute miles for this stretch.
had a side stitch in the middle of this run that lasted about 1/2 an hour. felt much better when that went away. |
| 2.061 | 3/7/2002 | run | 6 | 46 minutes was going to go to the armory tonight and do a tempo on Saturday, but nick had me doing the tempo tomorrow and with the cold this seemed a better idea. Of course I had already run the 1/2 hour this morning so the dilemma was what to do tonight - settled on 6. felt better this evening. |
| 2.053 | 7/13/2005 | run | 13 | today was the second annual (inaugural event held 6/27/2004) jimmy lynch, marc antone, rob zand tri-meet. this unannounced 2.5 mile race traverses one loop on the bridal path around the reservoir and the north meadow in central park. besides being unannounced, there are several other house rules governing the event:
the meet record for the race stood at 14:06 and was held by marc antone, who held off jimmy in last year's event. i was a distant third in 14:23. btw, the course record is 13:quite-low, and does not represent anything near maximum effort, it came during one of marc's tempo runs. as noted, today's race was started by jimmy, who would want you to know that he "isn't in shape". right. the chatter was quite loud at the first sidewalk (2:12) and on meet record pace at the police pagoda (5:07, 5:12 last year.) i took it upon myself to call out this split, which a) seems to be my role, and b) seems to truly indicate that the race is on. it was still anyone's race as we began up the east side hill, but somewhere in here the seriousness of the competition set in, as did yesterday's workout, which for the record was done by only one competitor, who, since you asked, is named rob. as the pace picked up further, i conceded, but knowing i was on record pace, continued at the same pace to finish in 14:07, just off the meet record. oh sammy soso (not a typo), i know your pain. upfront, the race was really on, and by 90th street i was completely out of contention. passersby were looking alarmed as jimmy and marc were trading grunts and elbows and cutting tangents like two geometry teachers gone mad. in a victory for the grey hairs, jimmy outleaned marc to the bridge, the aforementioned finish line for the |
| 2.044 | 7/18/2004 | run | 21 | 2:25 up at rockefeller with marc, jimmy lynch and ted towle. salient fact about ted: he ran for smitty in high school.
salient fact about the run: i ran out of gas around 2 hours. terrain is hillier than i normally run. around 2:06 we did a loop basically up hill and it finished me off. recovered well after a couple gatorades. |
| 1.977 | 8/15/2004 | run | 26 | 3 hours.
this went about as well as a 3 hour run can go. i.e. no crash and burn. after yesterday, this is really good. the key to a 3 hour run is laying out a course that doesn't repeat too much. so i went out to prospect park and back, heading down broadway on the return. from there i headed up the west side highway to 59th and made my way over to the park. finished with 2 loops: 16:46 and 16:50. the whole run was between 6:40 and 7:00 per mile. |
| 1.951 | 7/25/2001 | run | 6 | 4 reservoir loops - 12:20, 11:39, 10:49, 12:37. weird body imbalance before run. lightheaded. had 2 snickers and coke. then felt fine. i was plenty hydrated. had eaten normal lunch, too far from last meal? heat of day on top of morning run? with kd, who ran great and gets a big thanks for buying the snickers. |
| 1.924 | 5/30/2005 | run | 17 | 2 hours.
felt like 2 hours. |
| 1.917 | 8/8/2004 | run | 18 | 2 hours.
was really tired this morning when i got up. called marc and cancelled, then slept for 4 more hours. ran this evening. went up the west side to 125th and entered the park at 110. up the great hill, across the 102nd transverse to finish the loop, then did 3 more: 16:13, 16:06, 15:13. legs still a little sore, but got moving already going up the west side. got to the boat basin in 30 minutes and entered the park at 58 minutes. didn't feel great for the loops, but got it done. |
| 1.842 | 6/30/2004 | run | 13 | 90 minutes with marc. out to prospect park and back. felt decent, legs a little tired at the end. no idea of pace. didn't seem too bad, but we took the hill in prospect park pretty hard and my legs were a little tired when we got back into manhattan. |
| 1.714 | 4/11/2004 | run | 18 | 2 hours with marc. went up the westside to 125 and entered the park from the north. on 113th street a truck was double parked and there wasn't enough room for us to run and the car that was behind us to pass simultaneously. so this guy in a truck honks at us and instead of letting us clear the truck starts accelerating. needless to say that got me a bit fired up and i actually caught up to him when he got stopped at a light and really let him have it. he actually started to get out of his truck and seemed to realize how mad i was and thought better of it. we then proceeded on to the park for a few loops (15:52, 14:04) and some extra to get to 2 hours.
the 14:04 was my doing, i guess that's about 5:35 pace so not bad. marc was even better, running 13:54 after what seemed like a bit of a struggle over the 1st half of the loop. i guess he was just sand-bagging. marc is really seeming to get into great shape and we should be seeing some fast races out of him soon. |
| 1.604 | 7/14/2002 | run | 13 | 13+, 90 minutes with anthony, joe mcveigh, chris someone and don conrad, both dartmouth alums. Started out pretty reasonably (slow according to joe) and at half an hour those guys picked it up and I kept it even. Realizing that I didn't know where i was and the gap was widening i picked it up to keep pace. unfortunately we started going up a big hill at this time. after we crested the hill i took the next 8 minutes to close the 150m gap, and then the pace really started to roll. at 75 minutes chris, don and i pulled back and eased to the finish while joe and ant went for more. finished the 13.4 mile loop in 1:25 and change which would be about 6:23 pace, but i would bet that 2nd half was spent right around 6:00 pace or better. i am going to take ibuprofen for the next 10 days (and do some icing,) as my left achilles is still sore. it has been sore since i took the two weeks off, quite ironic in my mind. |
