Fleet Feet Dirt Cheap #5
Posted by john on August 21, 2008 in Running
Yesterday was the Fleet Feet Dirt Cheap Trail Race #5. The race itself was good, but the journey there (and home) was a bit rough. I decided to take my road bike to work that morning, which is about 5.5 miles. I made the trip in under 21 minutes, which is a fairly high intensity [...]
Interval Training
Posted by john on August 20, 2008 in Running
Today, I attended the Fleet Feet Interval Training. It was a very good experience! I arrived at Fleet Feet shortly before 6pm, and the group of people at the store warmed up with a run to Brighton High School track (about a half mile). We then broke up into teams of two for relays. I [...]
My Second Win!
Posted by john on August 17, 2008 in Running
This past Saturday, I ran in a race at _____. I cannot post the name because Greg will see and decide to show up next year and steal my thunder. This is the second year in a row that I placed first in my age group, and that is a wonderful feeling - I even [...]

Posted by john on August 3, 2008 in Running
This afternoon was the Andarola Super Sprint Triathlon, sponsored by the Andarola’s. Corey is going to be doing a sprint triathlon this year, so this was a bit of practice for the big event.
The two participants were Corey and I, with Marie running logistics and organizing the cheering section. We started at the pool, planning [...]
Father Murphy’s 5K
Posted by john on August 2, 2008 in Running
Last night was Father Murphy’s 5K race in Chili, NY. This race used to be part of the Trinity Series, but one of the three churches stopped their race last year, so the series does not exist anymore. This race, although new to me, was a special race with a special guest! Dan (a friend [...]
East Rochester Karknocker 5K
Posted by john on July 26, 2008 in Running
Last night was the East Rochester Karknocker 5K. The course is mostly flat, and very fast. I first ran this race last year, but I liked it enough to add to my list of annual races. The race is part of the ER Volunteer Firefighters and is part of a weekend filled with activities. There [...]
Fleet Feet Dirt Cheap Trail Race 4
Posted by john on July 17, 2008 in Running
Yesterday was the fourth, in a series of six, trail races sponsored by Fleet Feet. I have really grown to like this series. There is good food after the race, plenty of people participating in the race and always good weather. This race was at Mendon Ponds, which was the same venue as the first [...]
Boilermaker 2008
Posted by john on July 15, 2008 in Running
This past weekend was the 2008 Boilermaker. This is probably the best race I go to all year. It is one of the nation’s largest 15K races, with over 12,000 runners taking the line this year. As usual, I went to Matt’s place for the weekend. I arrived Saturday to help him move to his [...]
Brighton July Fourth 5K
Posted by john on July 4, 2008 in Running
Today was the Brighton 5K. There were quite a few races today, but I
chose the Brighton 5K because it was close to my house and close to
work (I was thinking about going to work after the race). My running
mom (Greg) came and picked me up before the race - door to door
service! We arrived at [...]
Fleet Feet Dirt Cheap Trail Race 3
Posted by john on June 19, 2008 in Running
Last night was the third of six in the Fleet Feet Dirt Cheap Trail Race. The place was Ellison Wetlands, which is somewhat north of Ellison park, on Empire Blvd. Going for about 4.5 miles, the distance was roughly the same as my last trail race (the PowerBar 4.5), but I was aiming to do [...]
