The Final Straw
So much to discuss, so little time… First things first – 4:29.12 on Saturday up at Cornell, second place. Went in thinking maybe I could run in the 4:25-4:26 range, circumstances (and a recurring uncooperative hamstring) left me just grinding … Continue reading
Pulling My Own Weight
With the bar being set high by the guys in London, the pressure was on for the second day of the masters outdoor nationals in Lisle, IL. With Mo and Galen still having additional Olympic events to run, I didn’t … Continue reading
Good Day For Aqua-runners!
While I couldn’t compete with this evening’s excitement in London where Mo Farrah and Galen Rupp (fellow HydroWorx users) went 1-2 in the 10,000m final, with Rupp’s medal being the first in the event by an American since Billy Mills, … Continue reading
World Record Talk
Six days closer to nationals, this one definitely has a different feel to it ever since we signed on for this relay. In December 2009 (about 7 months before I started this blog) Chuck Shields set up a Greater Philadelphia … Continue reading
Upping The Ante…
As planned, spent the last two days in the HydroWorx pool. Felt very sore yesterday, a little bit in the legs but a bunch in the glutes. I don’t think it was as much a product of the race as … Continue reading

Vol 1 – The 400m
When I wrote “One For The Road” 21 days ago, I didn’t intend to make it look like I was going away forever. It kind of turned into that though. I’ve been gone so long it took me 3 tries … Continue reading
Getting Plastered at Nationals
Back from Bloomington, straight to work. Sitting in Newark after having flown in last night from the meet, party is definitely over. I think everyone had a fun time out there though, both on the track and on the town. … Continue reading
…And The Officials Didn’t Even Wear Tuxedoes!
When is better not really better? After experiencing the inaugural “Millrose Games at the Armory”, I think a case could be made for the “new and improved” version. While I am sure a “meet record” was set in almost every … Continue reading
Red Eye Racing
A one week trip wrapping up with a Friday night red-eye flight from LA (where I just landed after working from NYC) to Philadelphia. From there I am getting a car service to drive me to a rendezvous point outside … Continue reading

I’ll Take It
Well, I can no longer say I haven’t been to the track in months. The 2012 season has officially set sail, and while the debut was nothing for the record books I am pretty happy with the result. 4:31.47 for … Continue reading
