LBI 18 Mile Run

On Sunday October 9th I ran The Long Straight Line, otherwise known as The LBI Commemorative 18 Mile Run.

This race is dedicated to the 11 Israeli athletes who were murdered at the 1972 Munich Olympics. It is also run in memory of those who lost their lives as a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks.

The course begins at the southern tip of the island in Holgate and finishes in Barneget Light State Park.

Summer must never end in Long Beach Island because it was hot as hell. Not a cloud in the sky and virtually no shade on the course. It made the flat and boring course even more challenging.

I took it slow and steady, but that was my game plan. I used this race as a tune up for the upcoming NYC Marathon.

My official time was 2:43:51.

The lost episode - Mr. Foamy

This is a video that was never released to the blog. And you will see why. But now that I am resigned to a serious bout of rehab of tight tendons, I give you Mr. Foamy. Oddly enough some of this footage was used along with my barefoot video in a mashup by Phil Moneypenny over in England... way back in 2009! here are both.

Going Barefootin'

Tonight several of the Highlands Hashers attended a barefoot running clinic put on by Jason Robillard, a font of knowledge about barefoot running form, and experienced ultra-marathoner. A good educational  time was had by all!


I even got to run with him, barefoot of course...
