Not a Race: 2021 Bronx 10 Mile Race Recap

October 14, 2021Ari Scott Leave a comment

Finally! The Bronx 10M.

I was signed up for the Bronx 10 Mile in 2019, but my feet hurt (my long bout of plantar fasciitis had started just a couple of weeks earlier) so I didn’t run. Instead, I showed up with my camera and took some photos of fellow Harriers.

This year, I was good to go. Even if my dog wasn’t impressed.

Week 8 was decent! I feel like I’m slowly climbing out of whatever running hole I fell into. Here’s hoping I stay out.

2021 NYC Marathon Training: Week 7

September 2, 2021Ari Scott Leave a comment

Overall, week 7 of marathon training had a nice upward trajectory: iffy at the start, with me questioning my ability to run not only this marathon but at all, ever again; ending much better, with me only questioning other mysteries of life (what am I doing? why am I here? is time travel possible yet because I’d love a second chance at some stuff?).

Wow, a blog!

Hi, I'm Ari. I started this blog in 2017 as a place to write about running, but now I am going to write about other things, too. Thank you for reading my words. This photo of me was taken in the 1980s. I am a grown-up.
