Marathon #122, 20th Florida marathon, at the Marathon of The Treasure Coast in Stuart, Florida. A breezy day that mitigated temps in the 70s. Started out up front to say “hey” to Aaron Braunstein, who was pacing the 4:00 group. I decide to drop back but a mile in we all take a wrong turn…

Fort Lauderdale A1A Marathon 2017
Lifetime marathon #120, the hometown throwdown, A1A marathon in Fort Lauderdale. Hot and sticky weather this year made for an unpleasant experience, but it’s over now.

Rocky Raccoon 100 2017-DNF
Rocky Raccoon 100, my first voluntary DNF (Did Not Finish). I think I went out too fast. First 20 was 4:30, second 5:15, third 8:00. In 13:00 I certainly might have done one more loop, but 2 wasn’t in the cards. So it’s a DNF. A couple of spills (note: even if your Camelbak is…
Miami Marathon 2017
Cold and rainy Miami Marathon today. I got to hang with Jim Diego and fellow NYC Frontrunner Marcus. Also great to see Paul Clifford, Loan O’Brien, Kevin Brosi, Liz Gmerek, and Loren Starr and others. I took it easy, but not as easy as I thought I might in prep for next weeks race. Fun…
First Light Mobile 2017
After Mississippi Blues was cancelled due to an ice storm, the second race of the weekend, the Mobile First Light Marathon was the only game in town. I didn’t take a lot of pictures this time around, but Mobile is a nice race, and the post-race food is a big thumbs ups. Proceeds benefit the…
The Pistol 50k 2016
Year to date marathon or longer #53, my last race of the year, and first 50K, in Alcoa, Tennessee, at the Pistol. Nice little course along the Pistol Creek Greenway. I spent most of the race with Terrance Lee, a fellow maniac from Chicago. It was a nice relaxed pace that should leave me in…

Operation Jack 2016
Year-to-date marathon or longer #51, Operation Jack Marathon in Los Angeles, California. A nice cool day, and a mellow two loop bow-tie course with Alicja and Karen along Dockweiler State Beach and the Ballona Creek Bike Path. Nice views of the beach, the mountains, and Marina Del Rey with occasional sand dunes covering the beach…
