New Jersey ½ Marathon, Long Branch NJ (May-1-16)
At a Glance With my 2017 Boston qualifier already banked, I downgraded to the half at the NJ Marathon and used it as a hard solo effort on tired legs — running 1:19:50 for 10th to cap a 22-hour training week before triathlon season. HIGHLIGHTS Result: 1:19:50, 10th place Opened at 5:45, hit 5K in…

United Airlines NYC Half Marathon [2016]
At a Glance Just 8 days after my DC half PB, I ran another personal best of 1:16:54 at the United NYC Half — a gritty, positive-split effort where I got dropped in Central Park, ground alone up Harlem Hill, and dug deep to break 1:17 down the West Side Highway. HIGHLIGHTS Result: personal-best 1:16:54,…

Los Angeles Marathon Race Report & Olympic Team Trials
At a Glance A trip to watch the Olympic Marathon Trials turned into my own LA Marathon. I ran even 5K splits through 30km before a familiar side stitch forced 10km of damage control — and still crossed in 2:55:11, likely a 2017 Boston qualifier. HIGHLIGHTS Result: 2:55:11, likely good for a 2017 Boston qualifier…

NYRR Joe Kleinerman 10km Race Report, 1/9/16
At a Glance A spontaneous entry into the NYRR Joe Kleinerman 10K — NYRR’s first race of the year and my last as a 24-year-old — turned into a personal best 35:27, run as a negative split around a full loop of Central Park. HIGHLIGHTS Result: personal-best 10K of 35:27 Negative split: reached 5km in…

13.1 Queens Half Marathon
At a Glance Going in stress-free with low expectations after a snowy, low-mileage buildup, I ran a surprise personal-best 1:19:26 at the slushy 13.1 Queens Half Marathon — using a shared pace line and a late kick to hold on for 4th overall. HIGHLIGHTS Result: 1:19:26, a personal best, good for 4th overall Raced on…

New Newtons!
At a Glance Quick first impressions of the Newton Gravity III — a first run out reveals a noticeably more stable ride than earlier versions, with a fuller review to come after more quality mileage. I just did my first run in the Newton running Gravity III. Right off the bat, they feel much more…

Nassau Run Series Part 2 – Lido Beach 4 miler
At a Glance Race two of the Nassau Run Series — the Lido Beach 4-miler — run on a flat, windy course. A no-frills training race, with the 5-mile Cedar Creek Park event up next on March 23rd. Windy and flat. Not my favorite race conditions, but it’s always good to get a workout in….

Newton Running Elite Review
At a Glance A hands-on review of the Newton Running Elite — a light, responsive racing shoe built on a new upper with the Distance outsole. After weeks of long and tempo runs, I plan to train and race in them for the season. HIGHLIGHTS Reviews the Newton Elite, one of the brand’s lightest models…
