2023 Resolutions Report
Last year I promised myself I’d participate in more events in the upcoming year: running, cycling, triathlon. While I didn’t hit a home run, I’m pleased with the limited progress I made (2x running, 4x cycling, 0-2 for triathlons.) and I’m doubling down for 2024: I’d like to do at least 1 triathlon, more running & cycling events, and at least 1 event different than those 3 - either tennis, swimming, tough mudder - something like that.
It’s true that once you put yourself out there and start doing events it does get easier to continuously do them. That’s what I looking for and that’s what I’ll be resolute on for 2024!

One of my runners and friend, Stephanie, is featured in an MY Post article on the huge impact #supershoes have had on the world of running. As she succinctly puts “They help you to maximize the training you’ve put in, but you have to put in the training.”

The conditions were to be as expected - warm with humidity - 76 degs, along with the extra challenge of some wind (18mph) coming off the ocean. The course is great and had a true big city feel to it.
Top 10 Running Questions & Answers #1
A: All the major brands make quality running shoes. The one that you should get is the one that feels most comfortable while you’re running. You don’t want to be thinking about what’s on your foot when running. Try a bunch of different brands - run in them, and chose not by style or color but by which is most comfortable
Top 10 Running Questions & Answers #2
A: This is an important question that even experienced runners get wrong. Easy effort runs are restorative efforts after hard working days or while you’re building up your fitness. Trying too hard on an easy effort run will only reduce your ability to run well in a future workout or race day and/or potentially lead to injury. Easy run days should be run at an easy effort - NOT a specific pace. You have to be very honest with yourself, listen to your body, and run with very little or true “easy” effort. This doesn’t mean that easy runs can’t feel hard, in fact, that opposite is often true: recovery runs the day or two after a workout can feel really hard on the body -while- the effort is truly easy. For me, depending on my training, recovery, sleep, stress levels, etc. leading up to an easy run day - my pace can be anywhere between a 9:15 mile down to a 7:30 mile. Most days easy runs settle in around 8-8:30 mile
