5k for MPS

Wed, 16 Jun 2010 16:12:00 -0700

Did a 5k this morning. The race was held in the morning. The temp was 82 degrees and the humidity was probably just as thick. I started out good, but withered away slowly. I lost about three minutes when I stop help hydrate a 12-year old boy that was just about ...

2010 Tri for Our Veterans III - Sprint Duathlon

Sun, 30 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

So Saturday morning I tackled another duathlon. This one at Sea Isle City.
Friday night we headed to the event late at night and bedded down at Ocean City. My friend's brother has a beach house at Ocean City which was great since we didn't have to worry about lodging. ...

7th Annual Christiana Care Health Delaware Marathon Running Fes

Sun, 16 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

OK, my first half marathon wearing the PostOP-PR shirt is in the books. It was a great day for a race. The weather was perfect, the parking was perfect, the festivities were awesome. My time was ok. The course is nice but includes four hills that are back breakers.

The race ...

2010 Philadelphia Broad Street 10 Miler

Sun, 02 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

So today was my third running of the Philadephia Broad Street Run. So got up at 4:30am this morning and downed a bowl of oatmeal. Got myself packed and ready. Since I was expecting hot and muggy weather I didn't think that sweats would be required. I went outside to grab my sunglasses (don't ...

2009 Rehoboth Beach Marathon

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Well my second marathon of 2009 is now complete! It was a great event and I finished, but it wasn't easy. I drove down to Rehoboth Beach on Friday afternoon and checked in the hotel about 3pm. Once my running partner, Susan, and her husband (Scott) got there, we headed over ...

Rides and Runs --- Schedule for 2008

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 15:10:00 -0800

An aggressive schedule but it sure makes life a lot of fun. I have signed up for most of the events so at least I'm committed. I will sure get a lot of t-shirts this year (may have to start throwing away some of mine). ...

14th Race Against Time 5k

Sun, 30 Dec 2007 15:48:00 -0800

All right, this was cold for me! They said it was 43 degrees so why was I shivering so much. This race started at 12 noon with about 300 runners. It was again 1 mile slightly downhill, mile 2 uphill, and mile 3 flat. The biggest problem with this race ...

Delaware X-Country 5k...

Sun, 25 Nov 2007 10:41:00 -0800

I ran a slow 31' 5k today. This was my first cross-country run (and probably my last). The race was held at Brandywine Creek State Park. It was grueling, cold, muddy, and wet. There were so many hills that I felt like I was on a broken escalator the entire ...

29th PNC Bank Run Walk for MS 10k

Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:28:00 -0800

This was my Thanksgiving day race! A cold morning running a chill through my whole body. I think I was the only runner out there not wearing tights. About 800 runners started the race, and 600 finished. The first mile took us from the Central YMCA into the heart of Wilmington and ...

5th DSBA Race Judicata 5k

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 15:22:00 -0800

This was a tiring race, but nice and flat. I went out fast and finished in 27:54 (or 8:57 per mile). The 2nd mile is still causing me problems and I don't seem to get my rhythm correct. Running along the river on the boardwalk is nice but I think ...
