Struggling with the Brooklyn Half Marathon change

running / 6 Comments

When I first heard the news that the Brooklyn Half Marathon was being postponed until May 3, it didn’t affect me. In fact, it was actually even better for me, because my mom had wanted to come watch the race but couldn’t come on April 26th (the original date) because she’s going on vacation to Florida. I may even go join her now that I’m freed up. Then, just yesterday, I got asked to judge a case competition up at Cornell. I knew I was going to be asked to do this, but had no idea what the date would …

Race Report: Ras Na Heireann 5K

running / 15 Comments

I’m going to follow the precedent set by Amanda for (day before) St. Patrick’s Day races, and cut right to the chase:Old 5K personal record – 27:21 (8:48 pace)New 5K personal record – 24:37 (7:56 pace) That’s right, I completely obliterated my old record and dropped almost a minute off my mile!

The decision was prompted by a senior manager after an evening of drinking at the office and then heading out to a nearby watering hole …

Is it a bad idea to come home wasted and, in that state, commit to doing a race that starts in five hours? I guess we’ll find out in the morning.

Healthy Meal: Grilled Swordfish and Spaghetti with Citrus Pesto

cooking, running / Leave a Comment

Tonight I wanted to eat really lightly, because I had pigged out a bit last night at a team dinner. I also knew I had some swordfish in the freezer, so I pulled out this recipe that I had saved a while ago. Even if you make it according to the directions, it’s pretty healthy, but I was able to make it even better. I paired it with some frozen mixed beans for a little extra veggie fix. Recipe notes: swordfishNo salt, no oil – just a little pepper and toss it on the Foreman. Swordfish cooks really quickly, so …
