Run the Republic 2009

Results here
My lungs hurt. I’m not sure what it feels like to smoke an entire pack of cigarettes, in say a half an hour, but my guess is it feels similar to running up Republic Plaza. The race was six hours ago and my throat is still sore, it seriously feels like I [...]

NYC Marathon Registration 2009

Today, I signed up to race the NYC Marathon! I’m pumped, I have never been to New York City before, I have seen the great city during a brief layover in beautiful Newark, New Jersey, but I imagine it’s even more impressive up close. Registration was $182, up 9.5% from last year.
This will [...]

Week in Review: 02/09 to 02/15

Andy Bernard: I’m petrified of nipple chafing. Once it starts it is a vicious circle. If you have sensitive nipples, they chafe, so they become more sensitive, so they chafe more. So… I take precautions.

Run the Republic Plaza Stair Climb

On February 22, 2009, J. Mock and I will be racing up to the 53rd floor of the Republic Plaza building. I have never done a stair climb before, but I am thinking it has to be more painful than running an all out mile. Last year the winning time was 6:53, results [...]
