I eat miles for breakfast: August 2012
http://ieatmilesforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
I eat miles for breakfast. Monday, August 20, 2012. Prelude to 140.6. Slow down. Grab the sports drink. Rack it. Grab the water, refill the Jetstream. Grab another bottle? Do I need a spare? I took my time out there, visualizing the race. I didn't get back home to Brooklyn until 3p or so, skewing my plans to clean and unpack a bit. This was it. Race week. And I had two big priorities- get the race done and figure out what to do with my parents. How did it become Thursday night already? I woke up and show...

I eat miles for breakfast. Monday, October 14, 2013. Summer 2013 Megafuntastical: Berkshires Tres Veces. I've been absent from this blog because of a summer that has been just too much fun. Now well into autumn, it is time to catch up a bit. Here is the first post in the series I like to call Summer 2013 Megafuntastical. Memorial Day Weekend came and after months of preparation, on the road, in the trails, and on a few excel spreadsheets, the team headed for the hills of Berkshires. The terrain was rough...

I eat miles for breakfast: December 2012

I eat miles for breakfast. Sunday, December 23, 2012. What's on the calendar? What's in the pipeline? When asked of a runner by a runner, the subject is obvious: the next event. I ask this often of my running friends and I've been asked this quite a few times since finishing the Ironman. Where does one go from there? The Team trotted with me around Prospect Park. This will be a fun event and I'm looking forward to it. Is this the next big thing for me? Well, I guess not. And a search for my mid-sole.

I eat miles for breakfast. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Comrades - Ultra Fun Runs. Amanda and I did a course bus tour today, learned about the history of Comrades, saw all the hills firsthand (it's basically all hills), had an emotional visit children of the Ethembeni School. Ethembeni School Children are about to perform. When do I know that it's ok to go? I mean, at what point do I feel confident enough to lay it all out? Putnam Road and GTS Brooklyn. Putnam Road passed Rynex Corners and back. You've seen t...

I eat miles for breakfast. Sunday, September 2, 2012. Ironman US Campionship 8:04:46. By the time I started running, the winner was less than a mile away from the finish. It was a long race and this is a long blog entry. Thanks for sticking with it. Kait caught me leaving the transition area. Did I mention I was psyched? And two volunteers would help pour water into my bottle. Would you like some ice? I wasn't stopping at each aid station, because I had that trusty water bottle. I learned the hard way.

I eat miles for breakfast. Tuesday, March 27, 2012. Poll: Sunglasses make be look like a badass or a big dork? I'm ok with either. Well, it was easy. All you have to do is relax. I'm getting better at doing just that. DUGWBOBP (down under george washington bridge on bike path)- I hear it's the next up-and-coming-neighborhood. But back to Sunday before the fear set in. It was a glorious day for a bike ride, though the threat of rain made me second and third guess my gear (jacket or no? My breathing every ...

I eat miles for breakfast. Sunday, November 25, 2012. RTB 2012: Gangnam Style. Woah It's been over two months since Reach the Beach. Life has kept me busy and away from this blog, but I still want to share a bit of a recap. Take my hand as we jaunt down this 200 mile relay toward the beach. The jump-shot. Thanks to Sarah Y, a Warriors tradition since 2011. Two Teams, Twenty-Three Runners. I'm not one for pop sensations not called The Beatles, but this guy Psy and his Gangnam Style. Facebook was a flurry ...

I eat miles for breakfast: April 2012
http://ieatmilesforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
I eat miles for breakfast. Thursday, April 19, 2012. Travel and Ironman training don't mix very well. By the end of my 17 day stretch on the road, I was freaking out about falling behind. Saturday, March 31st. Quite a bit. I made my way to the town center, which afforded a 2 mile stretch of relatively flat terrain and did a few out and backs there to finish off my run. At the end of the coastal path. My hotel is on the left. Sunday, April 1st. I return from my failed 10 minute outing, goggles in hand.

I eat miles for breakfast. Monday, May 7, 2012. I have self diagnosed turf toe. Google says it'll be a pain for 2-3 weeks plus rehab. Luckily it doesn't hurt when I ride. So I ride. Or at least, that was the plan. I've had a rough week. Regardless, things happened. And here's a sampling. That's the Tappan Zee Bridge. Yup, I rode that far, and back. She called me out. I guess I'm pulling to one side when I swim and she's worried that I'll veer off and hit a boat or something while I'm in the Hudson...

I eat miles for breakfast: Comrades: Race Day
http://ieatmilesforbreakfast.blogspot.com/2015/06/comrades-race-day.html
I eat miles for breakfast. Tuesday, June 16, 2015. The Comrades Marathon. Yes, marathon. Many of the marathoners I know would be annoyed by a race being called a marathon when it wasn't actually 26.21875 miles in length. This would be especially true for races that were shorter than this official and implicit length. Here in South Africa, they toss the label around, applying it to all sorts of distances. Legends Marathon. Is 42ish miles long while Two Oceans Marathon. 8221; Around me runners smiled.
