About Me

Name: Brendan Byrne

Location: Rochester, New York, United States

Born in St. Mary's Hospital, Rochester, New York. Attended Jesuit School (kind of like Catholic School, only more so) and went to a Public College. Relocated to Atlanta in June, 2000, and to Staten Island in 2004. Back to Rochester in 2005. Trying to get back into racing shape. I nicknamed my daughter Electra and my son Oed (short for Oedipus) because they are walking, talking examples of the respective complexes.

Winter's here

This morning the temperature was around 10 degrees. We haven't gotten very much snow here yet, but I'm sure some is on the way.

I get in a run about three mornings out of four--still short distances to take it easy on my battered old legs, but slowly increasing the distance.

I'm looking forward to the "Freezeroo" series of races next month and in February.

Snowy Day

A nice, snowy day today--not much on the ground, but some flying. This makes two days in a row that I got out to run--first time since July, when my AT problems started.

I'm going to take it easy this winter, but I do have to beat my brother in that 10K in SC.

No time

I'm running, early in the morning, but have very little time to post. I can't get the computer at home, between my wife's work and my teenage daughter's use of the computer, and at work I'm just too busy to get in any posting. I'm already working at 7:30 most days, and I just can't post.

Anyway, I'm getting in some mileage, doing pretty well. I'm holding off on any races until the spring (that's late May to early June around here) and summer. I haven't forgotten Charleston in May.
