A little behind on these posts, so I am playing catch up! I’ll try to post a few over the course of this next week.

Week 11 of training was my highest mileage in a long time: about 50 miles.

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.

Climbing Back: 2021 Cow Harbor 10K Race Recap

October 3, 2021October 14, 2021Ari Scott Leave a comment

I was thrilled to return to my hometown of Northport, Long Island for this year’s Cow Harbor 10K. I was thrilled my favorite in-person race was back. I was thrilled just to be able to run.

2021 NYC Marathon Training: Week 8

September 14, 2021September 17, 2021Ari Scott Leave a comment

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?).

2021 NYC Marathon Training: Week 6

August 27, 2021August 27, 2021Ari Scott 1 Comment

No running took place in week 6.

While I did make an attempt on Sunday after I took the below photo (in light rain, which I genuinely love to run in), I didn’t get more than a few seconds in before calling it off. My right heel still hurt too much, for reasons I still don’t understand.

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.
