Now that I have my next race on the horizon, the NYC Half Marathon, let me explain how it fits into the grand scheme. Having been focused completely on the marathon the last couple of years, it has been two and a half years since I last raced on the track. I can’t believe the last tim...

Where the Go Bionic stands out among the current crop of zero drop shoe offerings is in it’s combination of flexibility and cushioning. This is one of the most flexible shoes that I own, and the outsole grade Resalyte foam in the sole feels very much like the foam in the sole of the N...
Seriously, this recap should be on the SF Marathon website! You explain the course perfectly! I think SF marathon has the best race weather out there of any race. It always seems to be right around 50 degrees, zero or minimal wind, almost zero humidity with fog covering the course. Ca...
