San Diego to Jersey City training for a marathon
For the past 13 weeks, I’ve been training for the Jersey City Marathon, which takes place in just three weeks. As part of my training, I decided to run a half marathon in what I consider the most beautiful city in the country—San Diego. It fit perfectly into my schedule, and honestly, who wouldn’t want to run a race on the West Coast? I arrived in San Diego on Wednesday, giving myself a few days to continue training, explore the city’s beauty, and spend time with my adult children. As race day approached, I felt a bit of anxiety after [...]

St Pats 5 miler
This past Saturday I ran the Freehold Area Runners club St Paddy’s Day 5 mile run. The race was all in Michael J Tighe park. It was a good mix of road and some light trails. We did loop the course but it was bearable. The weather was great this year, I was going to run this race last year but there was a torrential downpour so I passed. It looks like there were a 176 finishers. I set a modest goal of trying to maintain an 11 min pace for the race. This is the part I was conflicted [...]
