We've been in New Jersey now for almost a month, and we're acclimating quite nicely. We're living in temporary housing in Union, until we take ownership of our home in Cranford next week. My running hasn't been as consistent as I would like, in part because of the locale but mostly because of long hours at work. I have managed to get in about 30 miles a week, which is a nice base.
I did my first race in Central Park a few weeks ago, completing a 3.5-mile course in 23:31, a 6:43 pace. I was reasonably pleased given my lack of speed training, but I am hoping to get in under 23 minutes at the next race this week. The races are part of the NYC Media Challenge, and my News Corp team has a good shot at winning both individual events and the overall title.

I haven't selected a fall marathon, though am thinking that the Detroit Marathon could be a good fit. I have two friends who are planning to run the race, and I could combine the trip with a visit to my in-laws on the lovely North Coast of Ohio.
The only other racing on my schedule currently is the River To Sea relay from the Delaware River Gap to the Jersey shore, on Aug. 1. I'll be proudly representing the Dow Jones Deadliners, with many of the same participants who raced the American Odyssey relay from Gettysburg to Washington DC a few months ago.
