A short one today….when you have to ‘go’ before a race, get right on line. “The Line Will Only Get Longer”. Simple. But I have to get my number or find where the start is – forget those things – when you have to go and you see the bathrooms, just go. I have had people get stuck on the bathroom line and miss the start of the race. When you see the bathroom, just go – the other stuff will be faster!

I have been running for over 35 years, having done practically every possible racing event or distance from the 100 meters through the marathon. I competed in varsity high school cross country and track at Saddle Brook High School in the mid-1980's, varsity cross country and track at Division II Pace University and finished well over 200 road races since then, including 20 marathons with a lifetime best of 3:14:50.
I was the president of the Hoffmann LaRoche corporate running team for 7 years, growing the team from 25 to over 90 during his tenure. I coached many of these runners to achieve their goals, whether they were beginners or advanced.
In 2011 I was an assistant coach for the Fair Lawn Recreation track team, helping the 10 to 14 year old group. I am currently personally coaching dozens of runners, from beginner levels to advanced levels and getting them to be prepared to meet their goals.
