Dutchess County Classic half marathon = $$

Attention all alumni who are still active (road) race participants. I just noticed at the Dutchess County Classic half marathon -- long a favorite of Forever Foxes -- will have CASH PRIZES for the top-3 overall finishers (men and women) in the half marathon = $300 for first place, $200 for second place, $100 for third place. Consider registering for this and coming back to your home on the Hudson River to see your old school, your old coach ... and maybe earn some cold hard CASH for (still) being a FAST RUNNER! How neat is this? Hurry up and register here. Hope to see you back here in September (race date = Sunday, September 17 (half marathon and 10k).

USATF U20 racewalk = Mia Priore soars!

Sorry for the delay in posting this amazing result (and equally amazing and consistent splits) from last Saturday’s U20 championships out in Oregon. Rising sophomore Mia Priore continued our incredible racewalk tradition with this outstanding performance. Coach Chuck Williams deserves much kudos and credit for building this foundation of racewalk success and making Marist well-known and well-respected in the racewalk community. Highly neat!

Alumni wedding = Ned Kenyon

Another great alumni wedding, this past Saturday down at Stony Brook (Long Island), where Ned Kenyon (Class of 1999) got married to his lovely new wife, Eva. It was great to see old(er) alums from the late 1990s at the wedding (see group picture). Forever Foxes, indeed! (Should we have called it a “Nedding”?) Special shout-out to Pat Casey, who follows both of my blogs (this one and the Substack running column = please subscribe!), and encouraged me to “keep writing.” I’ll do my best, Pat! Thank you.

Team Wiesinger dominates at Cranford 4-miler

 

Thanks to Ian Wiesinger (right) for sending this (awesome) picture of him and his dad Gary from Tuesday's Cranford (NJ) Jaycees Firecracker 4-miler. Ian was third overall in 21:03.3 (5:15) pace and Gary was second in his age group in 27:03.5 (6:45 pace). Together, they won the father-son team competition. Highly neat. Also highly neat? Ian (a recent Marist graduate) is coming back for a fifth year to complete his athletic eligibility while pursuing a masters degree! Yay.

Pittsfield 5k -- Marist running romps!

 

Thanks to Easton Eberwein for sending me this (awesome) photo of him (right) and incoming freshman Dennis Love, from Tuesday's Berkshire Health Systems (BHS) 4th of July 5k in Pittsfield, MA. Dennis placed third overall out of nearly 1,000 participants in 16:15 and Easton (remember, he's a record-setting SPRINTER) was 23rd overall at 18:39 (6:00 pace). Easton lives in nearby Dalton and Dennis is from (also nearby) Lenox. They met at the 2022 race (fun fact = Easton was AHEAD of Dennis) and that helped to spark Dennis' interest in Marist. Highly neat!

Ageless milers

 

Congrats to Marist Running Alum Gary Wiesinger (Class of 1981, center) for being part of the Shore AC winning team (60-69 division) at the USATF mile championships out at Indianapolis. Gary ran a sizzling 5:57.09 (presumably not in jeans!) and continues to be a role model to his son Ian and to the rest of the Running Red Foxes. Neat!

Crossover

 

On Friday night, these four Running Red Foxes went to a Zach Bryan concert in Queens -- from left = Gabe, Tony, Neel and Easton. A group of young guys going to the concert in the summer. What's the big deal, right? Yes, that's true. But for loyal, long-time readers of this fancy blog (as well as anyone else), it's important to note that this is a rare (but not as rare as you think?) occasion of a music artist that our current team members like and listen to, that I (as their older guy coach) ALSO like and listen to. In fact, when we are riding around to and from practices in the van, Neel's playlists coincide with a lot of my same music tastes -- sweet crossover. Young athletes (and others) who don't know me just assume, because I'm an old(er) guy, that I listen to old(er) music -- you know, classic rock, stuff like that. But alas, that's rarely the case. I try to keep current, especially in the genres of Americana or folk rock/country, as Zach Bryan sort of falls into. My only complaint with this photo = apparently Neel and Easton didn't get the "flannel" memo, come on! 

Accidental racer

My “running career,” such as it were, is essentially over. Oh sure, I still run, on a somewhat regular basis, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. But they are mostly social outings with the Hyde Park Early Birds (our run group’s unofficial name), and I am grateful for each and every run I can complete. Our schedule is pretty set.
 
Mondays = We meet at the CVS plaza in the middle of town, usually for a flat and easy recovery run, to account for the other guys in the group (not me) who may have run long and hard over the weekend.
Wednesdays = Our hardest (and my favorite) run of the week, meeting at Netherwood Elementary School and doing a 7- or 8-mile course that is hilly, rural and often on dirt roads. It is similar to a “race” effort for me.
Fridays = We meet at Marist for a 6-mile run, often up to College Hill Golf Course. It is not as easy as Monday’s runs, but not as difficult as Wednesday’s runs. A perfect blend and a nice way to end the week.
 
So, there you have it. The rest of the week, I intersperse some walking – much more this time of year, when I have more time + the weather is nicer (although, I do a mind-numbing amount of “Loser Laps” in our indoor track in the winter, as well). And, oh yeah, every August, I do my one and only “race” of the year – an 8-hour ultra in Pittsfield, MA. That’s it!
 
This long and rambling introduction was necessary groundwork to why it was so remarkably noteworthy – stunning, to close friends – that I actually pinned on a bib number and ran a race last night. And not just a “race” – a TRAIL race! Those aforementioned dirt roads? I don’t enjoy them. I’d rather be on smooth pavement. I don't like trails of any kind. I struggle on uphills – I’m just not that strong on them anymore. And, I’m an objectively terrible downhill runner – too tentative, gawky form and … just not good at it.
 
Add it all up and it begs the question: What the HECK was I doing over at Minnewaska State Park Preserve on Wednesday night, for the Summer Solstice Trail Run? Good question! Here’s the answer: Schneider, the official czar of the Wednesday Netherwood runs, was out of town on business. Tony, a true trail lover, was signed up for the Solstice race. That left Dave O and me for the Wednesday run, and we instantly agreed, “screw it, might as well just do the Minnewaska race instead of Netherwood.”
 
And voila! There we were.
 
How infrequently do I race? This is the first race in which I had a Garmin watch on, and a good thing, because there are no mile splits out there on the beautiful carriage trails of Minnewaska. The entire race was either uphill (much more difficult than Netherwood) and bone-jarring downhills (which I found much harder to navigate than the uphills). I got through it, knees sore and my sensitive feet burning and bruised (not to mention my ego), at around 9:15 pace. Was it “fun?” Uh, no. But, it wasn't that bad. The long walk back to the parking lot acted as my cooldown, and I unapologetically stopped for junk food on the way home. On the longest day of the year. Neat! As my friend Krys likes to say: It doesn't have to be fun to be fun.

It's Flag Day

Alert, long-time readers of this blog know I’m a big fan of Flag Day. It’s not particularly something of a patriotic fervor – although I do love our country, warts and all, and with a son in the military there is a bit more straightness to my posture when it’s time to face the flag during the National Anthem. Rather, the appeal of Flag Day for me has always been of fond childhood memories of “field day” at our elementary school – held on or near Flag Day most years – and of deliciously warm (but not too warm!) weather and the impending end of school, a sheer delight for any kid through the generations. The weather on June 14 – then and now – remains generally delightful (although, as I type this, there are thunderstorms rumbling overhead). I think it’s neat that long-graduated Forever Foxes recall my affinity for this “holiday” with early-morning texts to “wish me” a Happy Flag Day. Neat! And thanks.
 
Alert, long-time readers of this blog also know that June and July are lean months in terms of posts. It’s just the nature of the cycle of the months. We don’t have a lot going on in terms of team-related news or activity during this time of year. And so, the blog posts are less frequent. “For everything, there is a season.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
 
Over at my “other” blog – petecolaizzo.substack.com – there is a bit more to write about and I continue to move forward in that area. (Shameless plug = please consider a paid subscription at that blog, to support my freelance writing pursuits, especially in the summer. Thank you for your consideration)
 
Last week Over There, I wrote about the Air Quality Issues we had because of the Canadian wildfires. Fortunately, the atmospheric crisis was short-lived and we are back to “normal” air quality with no impact on running (or living, for that matter). The impact on running (and living, for that matter!) was felt during those few days last week when the AQI (air quality index) soared into the hundreds. Not good! The silver lining? We now have a better idea of what AQI is and we can now add it to our environmental metrics – especially on hot and humid days – to determine the safety of running and working out in those conditions. For now? Enjoy Flag Day and the late spring/early summer weather before the heat and humidity starts to kick in. OK!

Jonny K in Iceland

 Jon Kittredge (aka Jonny K) just got back from a post-graduation trip to Iceland and he asked me to post a few "blog-worthy" photos from his trip -- including, of course, a running one. We already miss Jonny K and the rest of the Class of 2023 ... surreal to think it's already been 2 weeks since commencement!

Forever Foxes!

 

Oh man, do we LOVE pictures like this! From Sunday's amazing wedding of Forever Foxes Kerry Gaye and Michael Kennedy (front and center, behind the banner) in Poughkeepsie. So great to see them and their classmates, teammates, friends, family ... Forever Foxes, one and all. Highly, wonderfully NEAT.

Colors

There’s this song that I truly love, never tire of listening to it, by a band called The Black Pumas. The song is called “Colors.” It’s a beautiful, soulful song that you can sing along with after you’ve heard it a few times. If you look up the band on Wikipedia, they are described as a “psychedelic soul” band based in Austin, Texas. Their debut studio album came out in 2019, and their popularity began to soar in late 2019/early 2020 (at least, in my ear buds!).
 
That timing is not insignificant, and it’s got me thinking and reflecting, as I sometimes do. We are in the process of celebrating the Class of 2023 here at Marist College. I remember vividly when “Colors” hit the airwaves. I remember walking endless Loser Laps on our "indoor track" that winter of 2020, listening to that song and the rest of that amazing debut album. That was during the first year of the four-year journey for the Class of 2023. And what a journey it has been!
 
Now is about the time when a guy like me should insert some words about the Covid pandemic and all the impacts that it had on the Class of 2023, and how much “resilience” they gleaned from that period, the life lessons from that time. Pfffft. Blah, blah, blah. Not! I’m not saying those thoughts and words are inaccurate or unimportant. Regular readers of this fancy blog will recall my too-often ruminations about that very topic. Nope. Not here, not again, not today. I’ll leave some of these high-minded thoughts to the numerous important speakers on the dais at varying commencement exercises today and tomorrow.
 
Instead, I’ll talk about the four-year journey for the Class of 2023. They started out by walking in here for preseason and at the start of the fall semester in the late summer of 2019. They walk out of here, nearly four years later, profoundly changed as young men and women. As a coach who has seen this cycle play out for the past three decades, the juxtaposition of my world and their world never fails to amaze me. Look, we all go through cycles of changes in our lives, but the scale to which those changes occur is dramatically different based on the current chapters of our life stories.
 
Think about it: When this class started, I was turning 55. As they graduate, I am nearing my 59^th birthday. What has changed in my world? On a day-to-day basis, not a whole lot. I’m still swilling gallons of coffee. I’m still walking a lot, jogging a little. I’m still thinking and saying the same stupid jokes and puns. I’m still wearing the same clothes, although flannel has definitely taken more of a center stage during this four-year journey of theirs. I still shave irregularly. I still drive slowly, think slowly, talk slowly. I’m still … me, essentially the same "me" from 2019.
 
Our graduates? They strolled in here in the late summer of 2019 – confident, excited, nervous and probably a dozen other adjectives you can think of. They were also YOUNG – 18 years old in most cases. They walk up on that stage now as mostly 22-year-olds, still young for sure, but also profoundly different. From kids to adults. So much has changed for them in these four years – athletically, academically, personally, socially, emotionally … all of it. As a coach, I get a front-row seat to this, and it unfolds gradually, like on some slow-motion animation reel. But, boy, does it ever unfold. They grow up – from boys to men, girls to women – during this time, while us adults in the room continue to spin our wheels in late middle age/advancing rapidly toward retirement age. That separation, that juxtaposition, is most definitely a good thing. While their worlds are spinning through a dizzying array of changes, we remain stable, unmovable forces that show up every day in their lives. Oh sure, we are affected by them; our lives are changed, moved and improved by their daily presence. But the scale of their growth and development pales in comparison. So rapid, so profound, so eye-blinkingly quick.
 
All these thoughts came blurring through my mind this morning as I bobbed my head and sang at my windshield to “Colors,” a song that came out at the beginning of the Class of 2023’s four-year journey. The song, and my admiration for that song, remains the same. In the meantime, so much else has evolved in their world, as they stand on the precipice of the next chapters in their life stories.
 
It’s a good day to be
A good day for me
A good day to see
My favorite colors, colors
My sisters and my brothers
They see ’em like no other
All my favorite colors
 
Farewell and fare well, Class of 2023.

IC4A Championships: Complete results

The season concluded on Sunday with some solid performances, including a scoring placement in the 4x800 relay. The first heat results of the men's 5km was still never recovered, so we estimated Kieran Donnelly's time there. All relay splits were on my watch, as the "timing company" did not provide splits in any races. That's a wrap for this academic/athletic year, on to Year 33 (for me) and the team in a few months. Neat.

ECAC/IC4A Championships: Day 1 results (Czop = school record in steeplechase!)

Seven years ago to the DAY, I wrote the following words on this very same blog: “Sometimes in real life, stories have happy endings.’’  That was written from my hotel room in Princeton, NJ, after the first night of racing at the IC4A Championships, when Mark Valentino capped his Marist Running career with a school-record time in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 9:05.01. Talk about symmetry: Seven years later, I’m in another hotel room, this time in Fairfax, VA. Same meet: IC4A Championships. Same event: Men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase. Same outcome: A career-ending school-record run in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Another happy ending! In other steeplechase! How NEAT is that!
 
Senior Daniel Czop went out with an absolute bang in his last career race. Last week at the MAAC Championships, he placed third and (barely) qualified for the IC4As with his 9:19.44 (the standard = 9:19.99). Tonight, on a rainy night at George Mason University, Czop ran a truly masterful race, working his way up through the field (sorry, kids, no splits available) and wound up in sixth place, and finished with a truly remarkable, miraculous time of 9:04.71. School record (Tino’s previous mark = 9:05.01). In his last race in a Marist uniform. At IC4As. In the steeple. Symmetry. Awesome.
 
Other notes from the day:
--It rained pretty steadily and persistently through much of the afternoon – especially during Parker’s 800 and Amari’s 100, and they both raced admirably in the conditions.
--The timing system was (to be as diplomatic as possible here) a bit wonky. And, it still is. Kieran ran in the first heat of the 5km … and those results have yet to be posted! Grace’s high jump results have yet to be posted. The men’s 1,500 results are still a work in progress: the first-heat results (slowest seed times) haven’t been posted yet, but there were some pretty solid times run in that heat, which will certainly impact overall placings (but not team scores). We’ll update everything tomorrow night (might be a late post, as our bus internet seems to be not functioning).
--Speaking of the 1,500: Pax came within one second of the school record in the event in a strong effort and a personal-best time. Neat.
 
Tomorrow’s schedule includes:
--Easton Eberwein in the open 400
--Amari Mathis in the open 200
--Kiana Pathirana in the triple jump
--And three relays: men’s and women’s 4x800 + men’s 4x400.

MAAC Championships: Men's results, day 2

The men capped an outstanding weekend with some more strong performances. Amari Mathis and Easton Eberwein were absolutely foundational to our success, and their contributions were monumental in the open and relay sprints. Pax ran the second-fastest time in school history in the 1,500 in old-school fashion -- chasing faster Iona guys! For about four minutes anyway, it was nice to see the old-world order again -- Iona leading, Marist chasing. And Brendan Dearie saved the best for last, with a wonderful weekend of racing just weeks before his graduation. Neat. Next up = IC4As.
