  • I recommend First Landing State Park if you haven't found it yet. 20 some miles of trails. Off of shore dr between Great Neck and the ocean front. If the $4 or $5 parking fee is too much park behind Hot Tuna (great neck and shore dr) or Final Kick and start at the running path there. Groups leave every Saturday for all…

  • The Shamrock here in VB is probably the best 1st half marathon to do. It is pancake flat and well supported. The weather starts out a little chilly, usually mid to low 40s, and warms up to low 50s by the time it's over.

  • Growing up in Michigan on dirt roads that only turn to ice when they were plowed I found Yaktrax a waste of money. Go to the hardwear store and get short hex head sheet metal screws. If you can find the ones that have the screw driver slot across the top those are the best. More friction area.…

  • Living on a ship my treadmill was 300 feet from my rack (bed). I woke up early before my watch to get my run in. The ship was mostly dark. Part way into my run people were walking around turning on the lights for the normal workday to start. At that time i realized i was just wearing my underamour underwear and no shorts.…
