Comments: As far as running goes, 2010 was not a good year for me. I got injured in January, missed 5 weeks. When I started training again in February, I came back feeling surprisingly strong - but a warm day nixed any chance I had of running well at the Broad Street 10 Miler. Just to confirm that I was in decent shape, the following week I ventured home to New Jersey to run my hometown race, where I managed to run 26 and some seconds for five miles, solo, amidst huge winds. After that, I basically started cranking it in preparation for the Chicago Marathon; I put together a 20-week plan ... It fell apart 10 days before the race, when I came down with an odd case of sciatica I wasn't quite able to shake. DNF. In 2009 I won a marathon, ran my fastest marathon since 2006 and ran a personal best in the half marathon. 2010 brought no such luck, but I'm hopeful about 2011 ... With it, pretend training now comes to an end.
