Welcome to NYC in 310

In the past, my enthusiasm for running has been plagued by poor bio-mechanics and taking on too much, too quickly.  This time will be different.  This time, I will give myself 18 months to get into marathon shape.  For the first 12 months, I will focus on the fundamentals: 5k’s, 10k’s and half-marathons.  Then, in Spring of 2010 I will begin full-fledged marathon training.  In Novemeber ‘10, I will run the NY Marathon in less than 3hrs 10min.  I will qualify for Boston.

NYCin310.com will chronicle the peaks and valleys of my training program.  In addition to serving as a personal runner’s log, I hope that my unique experiences as a long distance runner living in New York City will be useful to other runner’s who are currently trying to step their game up to the next level.

Here are my current PR’s…

My Running PR’s
5k – 18:04 (5:49 splits)
10k – 44:55 (7:14) this one needs work
Half Marathon – 1:30:46 (6:55)
Full Marathon – 3:40:54 (8:25) NY’08

I just set my 5k PR a few weeks ago, so my next distance to conquer will be the 10k, where I hope to break 39 minutes.  Thanks for reading.  Bookmark me and come back often.
