Wear several layers. First layer I recommend underarmor or something tightfitting and warm so that bodyheat does not escape or cold air come from your waist. ...
I would agree with Colleen: 4 years ago, I was also struggling, and went to jack rabbit and asked them to sell me a cheap solution for the cold. They sold me...
Just heard about this marathon movie and think it might be pretty good. I thought i would pass it along to the club, perhaps we can make a BRRC social night...
Scott posted a message about this movie a few weeks ago to the group, there are only a limited number of tickets, so anyone interested in going should sign up...
Agreed to all below. Base layer top: Craft makes an excellent base layer long sleeve shirt for both men and women. It is WELL worth the money. Hat / gloves /...
I used to hate running in the cold, but I've put together an outfit that's working so far, at least for temperatures in the 30's (haven't tried the 20's yet). ...
For those who want to enter in 2008 OR 2009 on basis of their qualifyiers, the time has come to start to think about the Marathon preparation. Urgent action is...
Note: Spirit of the Marathon is only planned for one night. Stef and I will be at the Union Square theater, in case anybody wants to hook up and sit...
Hey all: For those of you who haven't seen this, or those who do not have a fancy GPS watch to find out the exact distance of your latest run, check out GMAPS...
This one is also good: http://www.usatf.org/ Need a place to run? Map your own route? Not that I've used it since the fall. Sadly, I can't seem to motivate...
After my last marathon, it took a few months to get motivated again. And the harder I tried to force my way back into running, the guiltier I felt, I...
I think we all go through that lag in motivation, especially around the winter/post-marathon season. I've been doing a lot of cross training/time at the gym...
I never thought that I was much of a "class person" but with my lack of motivation in the winter, it's nice to go to a spin or yoga class and have someone tell...
I'd like one too. I have a pretty good podiatrist if anyone needs one. He's at 666 tenth street by 8th ave. I forget his name but if anyone is interested,...

Does anyone have the dates for these two races? Iain...
It's so bizarre. I didn't think I would get in. My two marathon times are lousy and I've never done a stair race. I thought only the elites would get in. ...
My friends have done it for the past few years and love it. I applied last year and gratefully did not get in. I've been told that it's terribly tight and...
I have one extra ticket for teh movie tomorrow night at Union Square at 7:30. Please email me off list if interested. Thanks, Scott...
