1.13 Saddle River Park Run
It’s really hard to find a good outdoor running day in such a brutal winter but we managed to find a good time to run this Saturday afternoon. It’s still chilly and windy but the sun was out and snow on the ground was mostly clear in the park.
Race Story
From Framework to Finish Line
Rachel Lu
I run because I meet a better version of myself after mile six. Until recently, however, I would stop shortly thereafter. According to the model I had built in my mind, the health benefits of running greatly diminish after mile nine, so how could someone be brave (read: insane) enough to run a full marathon?
How could they reject such sound science? Is it really worth using up one’s limited share of luck in life on a marathon lottery? Why not just go for a run in the park?

Byebye 2017
2017年底為跑群做了兩部視頻, 學了很多.
第一部是為12月初的飛狐長跑跑者之夜而做, 本來只是簡單地蒐集些跑步的照片做當天的投影片使用, 但因為馬拉松跑者們各各都太多感人的故事了, 然後剛好我整個11月跑完紐約馬拉松之後被醫生下令做了個馬拉松月子, 為了讓自己多些生存的目的, 再加上沒事找事做的毛病, 就一個個我能訪問到的跑者我都訪問到了, 蒐集了大家初馬, PR與跑馬的心得後花了共約兩個多星期的時間做出了這部近10分鐘的大作. 知道單就每人幾張相片跟一兩句話實在無法道盡一年來大家的辛苦與歡樂的千分之一, 但是但願把一整個團體的回憶與心得加在一起後就是一部感動人心的作品.
Group Runs
20.18 Run
Many of us got together in the morning of 12/30 to conclude our year 2017 group running activities with this special running event. Usual timing, usual location, usual faces, but under an unusual weather condition(below 20F and light snow) and a special distance requirement – 20.18K (or just above 20K or 12M or go anything above and beyond yourself). 11 brave souls showed up and together we used our legs to record our achievement from all our training from this year and celebrate the upcoming new year.

12.2 Palisades State Park Hills Run
It’s been a while since we ran together as a group on this scenic route along the Hudson valley. I think it was July when we were here last time? Up and down hills are certainly very challenging and they could be even brutal for both our body and soul. However, we can’t resist the calling of such a beauty, and the proud feeling of able to conquer this place.

2017纽约马拉松记
终于完成我人生的第一个马拉松了！从一心只想减肥的菜鸟大妈到今天这一步，算一算起码花了三年多左右的时间。去年用了一年的时间顺利完成了NYRR的9+1取得今年的纽马报名资格，上半年跑了NYC及Brooklyn两半马都觉得状况不错，但从夏天开始连续两次小腿肌肉跟脚踝的拉伤，本想好好的随着练习计划跑个马拉松的梦因此破碎，足足消沉了快一个月的时间，期间兴起了好几次想打退堂鼓的念头，但今年因为参加飞狐跟新蜂跑群认识了附近好几位可爱热心的”战友”，战友中好几位今年都刚好跟我一样努力着首马，大家一同相互打气着，甚至有几位没有跑马的朋友也都热心的陪着我们练长距离，练配速，练路线，简直都快比我们这些报名要跑的人都还认真了，周边也有好多朋友跟同事加油及鼓励，我岂能让大家失望？
