    QUOTE (rbeaud @ Mar 21 2010, 06:57 PM) DimD, nice work. I think if you accomplished your goals, then great rejoicing should ensue! I haven't dared a distance longer than 5M for a race, so you are one up on me. How was the weather in NY today? The temps were great running in Fairfield, CT...

    How'd everyone do today? I had a lot of fun running the NYC half marathon. It was my first time ever running this far, and I have to say, the last part of felt really tough. I felt amazing for the first 8 or 9 miles, and thought it was going to be a cake walk, but the course was set up so...

    QUOTE (PT Sox Fan @ Mar 9 2010, 04:14 PM) Just joined, cool site. Thanks for the suggestion. I added all of you. I am rob. I pretty much only lurk. I haven't felt a real desire to post on there. Not sure why. I haven't fully embraced social media.

    Did my longest run so far today. 10.4 miles and did it at an 8:50 pace, which is also fast for me. Ran with my brother in law who is really fast and I think he kicked me up a notch, but I felt good. Feeling pretty comfortable with being able to run my first half in a couple of weeks. Now I...

    Did my second race today. 4 miles, 33:56. Last race I did 5 miles at 9:03 pace, so nice to see some improvement. Felt really good the whole way too. Did the last mile in like 7:50. My Garmin was a little off, so I don't know my exact splits. I started it late because I accidentally had the...

    QUOTE (underhandtofirst @ Jan 9 2010, 11:08 PM) Well done. I'm guessing the first mile was getting through the crowd and getting up to speed. Pretty consistent after that. Should have gone with the Statue of Liberty costume anyway :) Exactly, the first mile was a shit show. I pretty much...

    That was sort of fun. It was very cold and had to get up early, but I finished in 45:17, which is pretty fast for me. According to my watch, my mile breakdowns were: 9:43 8:45 8:54 9:03 8:42 There was a brutal hill at the beginning of the 5th mile, but the first four felt pretty easy.

    QUOTE (underhandtofirst @ Jan 8 2010, 05:12 PM) I've always gone by a rule to dress for temps 20 degrees warmer than the air temps. I use some cheap work gloves I bought at walmart. They were something like 6 for $10. They are thin enough to operate my watch but keep me warm enough on most...

    Update: I didn't get in through the lottery for the NYC Half, but I did decide to start raising money for a charity so I get in automatically that way. I only have to raise 1k, so it shouldn't be too hard because people love me. First race tomorrow. Goals are (in no particular order): -...

    QUOTE (Trautwein's Degree @ Dec 28 2009, 10:34 AM) Just registered for the New Bedford Half which is the same day as the NYC half. My training partner and I wanted to run a half together prior to the marathon and there was no guarantee we'd both hit the NYC lottery. Plus, NYC hasn't even posted...

    QUOTE (Trautwein's Degree @ Dec 13 2009, 09:24 PM) Awesome job, sass. How much have you improved since your first half? Traut, Did you sign up for the NYC half? I've never run that far before, but have been getting into running more this year for some reason and am really looking forward to...

    QUOTE (Trautwein's Degree @ Dec 7 2009, 08:30 PM) Registration for the first ever NYRR: New York City Half Marathon has opened. Could there be a better half marathon course anywhere? Really thinking of entering the lottery for this bad boy. I entered the lottery for this.
