Day in the life: Heart of the sunrise

 

Women's distance team early-morning practice (arrival at 6:45a, out the door a bit after 7a) has its perks = like today's awesome Hudson River sunrises and team camaraderie. And, in my case: Coffee. Endless, ubiquitous coffee.

Bridge view

 

Thanks to Julia Z to taking these photos of her cooldown with Parker, Matt and Miles -- across the George Washington Bridge -- after their races at the Armory last Friday. Neat.

9-below and here we go!

 Today is the first day of the Spring 2025 semester. As mentioned in last night's team meeting, this calendar year promises to be (very) exciting for our program -- we are hopeful for strong performances at our remaining track meets, and we are very much looking forward to the (eventual) completion of the new track and turf facility at North Field, hopefully later this summer!

Today (this morning, right now!) marks the beginning of early-morning practice(s) for our women's distance team. Talk about timing. It is currently 9-below zero, according to my weather app. The good news (yeah, right?) is that the real-feel temperature is exactly the same! Anyway, not the most ideal weather for our new Dawn Patrol practices, but we are hopeful that this paradigm shift will be well-received and will benefit all involved. OK

Winter warriors

 

Thanks to Citera for sharing this photo of he and fellow Forever Fox Jiggy from their frigid hike up Mount Marcy, the highest peak in the Adirondacks (and New York State) over the weekend. Tony reported wind gusts of 40 mph and a wind-chill of 35 below. Nicely done, men!

Remembering a record holder

 

Thanks to alert and loyal alum Peter VanAken for emailing me the news of the passing of Hank Blum, Marist track and field, Class of 1972. Hank holds the distinction of owning the oldest track school record on the books, in the discus. If you read his obituary, you will see that Hank was a family man and a man of great faith. Although I never met Hank, he remains a vital link to our program's history, and I hope his huge extended family knows that he remains immortalized on our school-record board in the McCann Center. 

Intersession training: Back in Pok!

 No picture to go with this post, but just a (quick) update that our speed and power athletes (sprints, hurdles, jumps, throws and some middle-distance athletes) have returned to campus and have started their winter intersession training. This may be a record for the earliest return date and longest stretch of intersession training, as classes for the Spring 2025 semester do not begin until Wednesday, 22 Jan! We're excited to have these athletes back on campus and we look forward to welcoming the remainder of the team over the coming days and weeks. Neat!

Intersession training: Lenox, MA

 

Thanks to Dennis Love for taking this picture of his teammates (Raffi and Jackson), who were visiting Dennis in Lenox, MA. Dennis was on his bike. Happy New Year.

10 years after ...

 

Top photo is from New Year's Eve, 2014 -- me in the middle, John McKee to the left, Neil Grencer to the right.

Bottom photo is from New Year's Eve, 2024 -- me in the middle, Dave O to the left, Neil Grencer to the right.

So much has changed in the past decade. Going for a morning run on the last day of the year has not.

See you in 2025!

How was your year?

Note: This was originally posted earlier on my Substack running column, petecolaizzo.substack.com -- please consider subscribing (to it) at the very economical price of $30/year (less than 25 cents per post!)

How was your year?
 
It was an innocuous question, uttered out of the blue by a friend as we were walking and talking indoors last week on a bitterly cold morning.
 
How was your year?
 
I was flummoxed, at a loss for words, which is rare for someone like me who talks and talks and talks (verbally or through the written word).
 
How was your year?
 
Context matters. Before my friend showed up, I had been walking by myself, the same 135-meter indoor track laps that I traverse over and over and over again during the cold-weather months. While there, I’m usually listening to audiobooks. Or, in this case, thinking. Usually about everything surrounding the academic calendar year, of which we are smack dab in the middle. Fall 2024 semester just concluded, busy Spring 2025 semester beckons.
 
That’s where my mind was at, thoughts swirling endlessly, before my walking buddy showed up. And then, the question …
 
How was your year?
 
Now you see, the context threw me off. My year? Whatchu mean, man! We’re right in the middle of my year! What year? Ask me in May, or maybe June!
 
Of course, by now, you realize what a dolt I can be sometimes. There’s less than one week left in the calendar year 2024. So, the end-of-year question, and the introspective thoughts that go with that question, they are everywhere.
 
How was your year?
 
In running, for those that keep track of mileage, the end of the year can be a time to celebrate literal milestones. I know a runner -- a serious, hard-core marathoner -- who just topped 4,000 miles of running for 2024. For those keeping score at home, that’s an average of more than 80 miles per week for an entire calendar year – that’s a lot of mileage!
 
My walking friend keeps track of his steps on an app. He’s constantly “getting steps” whenever and wherever he can throughout the day. The “10,000-steps-a-day” thing that you hear about all the time? He exceeds that total, most days, by 12 noon. And then, he keeps going.
 
Two popular apps – Strava and Spotify – provide year-end summaries called “wrapped.” It’s pretty neat to have an app summarize things for you – you know, while you’re busy actually DOING them! In Strava’s case, it’s your activity logs – run, walk, hike, cycle, etc. In Spotify’s case, it’s your listening habits – tells you what songs and what artists you listen to the most, month by month.
 
So here, in the last week of December, “how was your year?” thoughts can be pervasive. Recapping 2024, looking ahead to 2025. In truly thinking about it? I think I’m at a stage of life where … I don’t really think about it. I take each day and each week as it comes. “Be present” and “stay in the moment” are two popular phrases shared among busy and stressed-out college students, and I try to live by both.
 
And on that note, as I write this, our entire family is under one roof. That’s a rare occurrence these days, at this stage of their lives. They all surprised me by finding their way under this very same roof to be here for my 60^th birthday back in the late summer.
 
How was your year?
 
On that late-summer weekend, and today, I’d say pretty good! As for the other 350-something days? Replace the word “year” with “day” and ask me, and I’m sure I’ll have an answer ready for you. Broaden it out to the entire calendar of days under a four-digit number representing the year? Well then, you’ll lose me.
 
How was your year?

Two million page views!

Being a Numbers Guy, it’s really neat to see that this blog is at the 2,000,000 page-view mark. I remember being told by a team member when it hit the 1,000,000 mark (not sure when, not sure if I did a post about it!) but here we are now at 2 million. Who knows if this blog (or I!) will be around to eclipse the 3 million mark, but this is pretty cool. Thanks for the continued clicks!
