empty streets

saturday

12 miles to the park and back tonight at dusk on barren parkway and neighborhood streets w/o Buffalo Marathon signs that'd be everywhere and 'do not park here' signage affixed to every light post and tree. I found myself doing something today I don't do on a Saturday before Memorial Day - run - as 

I normally rest the day before the marathon, and not doing something I normally do - stalk the hourly weather report for Marathon Sunday, looking for temps, humidity, wind speed/direction for 6 - 9 AM; but it turns out things turn out ok even if you don't obsess over them, the weather for tomorrow morning looks very good for a marathon...Feel like I've been there the entirety of the Buffalo Marathon's 'modern era', beginning around 2000/2001, running either the marathon or the half every year save a couple, through thick and thin. I remember one year, 2005, I was having a particularly good race, going through a side street in Kenmore, about the half-way point in those, alone, no one out cheering, a guy comes out in a bathrobe onto his front steps to grab his Sunday paper and asks me 'what's going on?' and I say, in oxygen debt, 'the Buffalo Marathon!' he turns and walks back in, not even an annoying 'you're almost there!' The year or two before, running on Delaware Ave near the 198, I'm very nearly grazed by cars passing close by me having gotten through the non-existent traffic control.  Loved those days of the Marathon, the wild wild west; and love today's Marathon, with a professional organization, media coverage, the fireworks at the Start Line, no worries of getting hit by traffic, the swag, race director Greg greeting and cheering on every body, Diane with her camera at the half way point and everywhere else, Matt cheering on Chapin Parkway, Jim between the Marina and the Waterfront, the promise of being greeted at the finish line by Sam, Greg, and Jerry, and Bart Yasso who literally seems to appear at every single marathon in the world.  It's sad to lose the event this year, and it pales to the losses many have suffered from this Pandemic, but don't sell its significance too short. It's okay to mourn this loss, when it's an event for which and in which its participants extend themselves to their furthest limits, not for money nor notoriety, but simply to be the best they can, for a moment, on a given day. Aren't many activities in existence that exalt the individual, the small group, and the community simultaneously.  Really looking forward to running the Marathon in next year's Memorial day weekend, but for tonight and tomorrow, I'm going to accept I'm bummed out about this 'loss', in solidarity with many who've suffered during this time...

Kudos to our client Alexis Espinoza on nailing today’s #woodlandshalfmarathon! This is a tuneup for the big target later this year, the #buffalomarathon. So our plan today was to start conservatively and grow into the race, hopefully running a #negativesplit and he did it! 6:42 pace for the first 10k, 6:37 pace by 20k, and he held that to the finish. Now the training benchmarks all move down to reflect increasing fitness. There is lots of work to be done but we are clearly moving towards that #sub3marathon goal! This is how we do it with patient building and tailored training. Wanna learn more? Go to Breakoutrunning.com!

Some telling signs that you might have just run a marathon... #1 your feet are swollen and don’t fit into normal shoes (school will be interesting tomorrow)... #2 interesting tan lines (we won’t even talk about the KT tape lines on my knees... and this too will make school extra fun tomorrow) #3 you walk like a broken octogenarian (remember it’s not the ups that hurts it’s the downs... what am I saying... EVERYTHING hurts).... #4 you’re making plans to do it all again @buffalomarathon #buffalomarathon @rungum @endurance_tap @pain.cakes #runtheday #runsquad #teamtap #fuelsimply #paincakes #stickit2pain #run #runner #runnerproblems #marathon #ireallyneedabeer #istrugglewalking (at Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx9o7IXAe6I/?igshid=mzl8fle1zlv4

saturday night run

saturday

After taking yesterday off on a wet dreary day mixed in with a lack of motivation, it was a late run tonight from 9 to 10:30 pm to facilitate social distancing (and so I don't have to wear a mask), the streets were pretty much deserted around Elmwood, my neighborhood in Buffalo.  With no cars around, ran down the middle of Bidwell Ave, probably my favorite stretch of the #Buffalomarathon, around the 22 mile mark, where finishing begins to become a 'probability' from a 'possibility'.

Happy #globalrunningday 🏃🏻 My allergies have made me sleepy 😴🤒so I slept in and had to sneak in a quick run in between pre-k drop off and grocery shopping! In case you thought I was as exaggerating about the heat on Sunday😉, I thought I would share this shirt that has just been introduced by the Buffalo Marathon! Happy Hump Day!🐪
