Kicked off 14 WEEKS OUT from the @nycmarathon back with the 9 Minute Pace Group, the sunset, crew love (@queensdistance via @bryanlozano of @homecomingnewyork ), @jojoshmojo ‘s birthday, TEAM FUTURE, and @unclelouny sponsoring a student to attend @therunningschoolny ! In that order. Currently waiting for my athletes at the track for speed session 3 as we build towards our fitness test next week. _ #runforchinatown #9minutepace #runnyc #nycmarathontraining (at Chinatown) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgxgc7rLxDC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today, in 6th month of the year, I joined 6 of my friends and athletes and as a team of 6 to track down 6 art exhibits within 6 kilometers at the 6th Anniversary of the @snakerunnyc 🐍 and it was 6 - I mean SICK. This wasn’t a race, but if you tried something new or had a ton of fun - you WON. And BIG congrats to the Pablo Picasso of Running, @nochevalle for making running fun, promoting teamwork, teaching art for 6 years in a row. Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏 _ #SnakeRunNYC #artrun #scavengerhunt #runnyc (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeZ5s9dtNzG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s the first Sunday in Nov. and I find myself alone on the Verrazano bridge waiting for 40,000 friends to join me yet again. Didn’t happen last year and it’s good to be back. Perfect weather certainly helps. This will be my 22 year doing it. #nymarathon #marathon #nyrr #nycmarathon #runnyc @nyrr #26.2 #tcsnycmarathon #mile1 (at Verrazano-Narrows Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV-a13BLaHC/?utm_medium=tumblr

In June I was injury-riddled and it was my lowest all around running month since my comeback from head injury in 2019. I was getting my Runner's Knee pain under control pretty well, working my way through it with less mileage, more rest days, foam rolling, and strength work. Then there was one morning...... I woke up with an odd left calf soreness that I shook off as just some random soreness. I opted to run through it, and struggled to about 1.75 miles, where I felt a pop in my lower left calf muscle. The pain increased substantially quickly to where I could not walk. The pain subsided over the day after I wadled like a disabled penguin 🐧🤕 to the train and went through the rest of my day. Two weeks of no running. I have already realized that I am not a young buck anymore, but the universe felt I needed one more reminder, just to keep me humble and honest to myself. I'm working back to it, pushing my "Downstate 50K" to the end of July at the earliest. I won't rule out running it in August though, I will do it when I feel ready enough. #june2021 #injury #runthebronx #runnyc #strava #garmin #ultrarunning #summertraining #altra #xeroshoes #downstate50k #mentalhealth #trailrunning https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ3e55Lnck_/?utm_medium=tumblr

DOWNSTATE 50K training cycle Week 20 (6/20-26): Total time running 0 hrs, 17 min Total elevation gain 7 ft Total distance 1.77 miles ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Sunday: I wanted to see how my calf was feeling after 1 week of no running, so I got out in Van Cortlandt for what I planned as 1 lap on the flats and then an out and back on the Putnam to the Yonkers line. If I was feeling good then 1 more lap on the flats. It started out good. I kept it slow and easy around the flats. Once on the Putnam, some soreness set in and once I got to 1.75 miles, the pain swooped back in and I was at the point where if I kept running, my calf would definitely pop again and I would not be able to even walk again. I stopped and walked back down the Putnam and cut through the John Muir trail along Van Cortlandt Lake. Recovery is happening, I just needed an additional week to get my calf back into running shape. 2nd try is coming up, with a late July 50K (hopefully 🤞🏽) #bronxrunners #runuptown #runthebronx #runnyc #strava #garmin #summertraining #downstate50k #ultrarunning #trailrunning #mentalhealth #calfstrain (at Bronx, NY) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQmoqg3H6Hf/?utm_medium=tumblr
