So I ran the Bronx Half-Marathon at an 8:24 pace. I was a little disappointed. I mean, it was great fun... and I beat last year's time by 38 seconds per mile, but I wanted to try to get under 8:15, which is my current personal best. This is the first race I've run twice.
Three years ago, I couldn't run a quarter mile.
So, over the last five years, I've gone from a pack-and-a-half-a-day smoker and problem drinker to Mr. Green Tea and distance running. I wonder what Maggie really makes of all this? Does it make her insecure? That I'll someday revert to my self-destructive and unhealthy ways?
I hope not. I mean: how can I? She's letting me go to a bachelor party in Montreal.

That's a great turn around!
Now only if I could get off this chair and go swimming for 30 min every morning!!!
Yess!!! You can run faster than I can ever dream about. I think I did the mile in 9:20 back in high school and that has been my personal best.
Sounds like you are taking great care of yourself. I like surfing... but I've only done it in the blogworld.
congrats - what a great improvement!
it really wasn't a day for setting personal records, i think.
aaaahhhh smokers.... remind me of a bad Kevin Costner movie...
I know I need to start good habits now, but I can't even consistently walk around the block once a day!
