26.2 mi. My second time for this amazing event and it was nothing like the first visit! Today I am serving as a runner guide for Achilles International. My role and responsibility is to safely run with my friend, Julie, and help her become a TCS NYC Marathon finisher. We woke up at 4:45am and had … Continue reading NYC Marathon 2016 ~ The Race

A PR, an age group win and a negative split effort!
A chilly start - but very successful day! My time was 3:49:34, very close to a perfect pacing day. Let's start with the expo... The expo was in a new location this year, Mana Wynwood, the artist's community of Miami. Parking wasn't difficult since I was on for the first shift. I'm glad I left … Continue reading Miami Marathon 2016
For all the warnings about weather and everything we had been hearing, we got off light on race day. It was windy, but we were spared the rain that as recently as Tuesday was at 90% chance of wet, wet, wet. We couldn’t seem to get the new Purium Pace Group together at 5:55 am … Continue reading Palm Beach Marathon and Run Fest 2015
This was the most "in control" of all three disciplines I have ever felt in a triathlon.
3/8mi swim/13mi bike/5k run - First time back in the last 3 years! I checked my bike in Friday night as did Jessica, that was a fail. A HUGE storm came within 20 minutes, blew the racks over and subjected my well-cared for bike to "out back behind the shed" type of treatment. I knew … Continue reading Loggerhead Triathlon 2015
27 miles (?) The 11th running of the Palm Beach marathon was one to remember. I covered the 10am-12pm Sat shift in the Pacer booth. Our booth placement was out of the way – there was a main "horseshoe" shaped collection of vendors that were centered on the grass at the Meyer Amphitheatre, we were … Continue reading 2014 Palm Beach Marathon
13.1 miles (Pacing the 1:55 group) Today’s race had good temps and a nicely done start area. This was my first time at this event. Thanks to Pacer Kristen, we parked nearby and had no issues getting to the team photo and lineup on time. I met a few of my runners and discussed the course, … Continue reading Space Coast Half Marathon
A Special Return... I am fortunate this year to be linked up with Cammie and Jeff, they have a great plan and routine. No Boston Commons bus line for me - I'm being driven to and dropped off at the start line in Hopkinton! This is a huge plus, no crazy jam-up in the athlete's … Continue reading Boston Marathon 2014
The morning was nice, I met Jeff and Cammie at the finish line area with designs of parking a car at the finish and one at the start. I arrived at the Sheraton Yankee Clipper about 5am, too early for someone to be manning the parking structure. I parked in the valet lot next to … Continue reading A1A Marathon 2014
