Riding Life’s Roller Coaster

It’s been an interesting few weeks. On November 3rd, I crossed the Verrazano Narrows bridge with 50,000 of my closest acquaintances on my way to finishing my 4th NYC marathon. It would have and should have been NYC number 5 but Hurricane Sandy had other thoughts last year. In a nice display of class, those [...]

Brad Schoener Memorial 5K Run / Walk & Music Marathon

I wanted to remind everyone about the Brad Schoener 5K on May 18th. Slots are filling up and there is no guarantee that many slots will be left for race day registration. We have plenty of fun things lined up again this year including the Phillie Phanatic and B101 radio. Also, runners will be chip timed this year! We also have a time change for this year’s event. Runners still kick off at 10:00 AM but walkers will start at 10:30 AM.

Two Oceans Ultra Marathon – Part 3

So folks... the time has nearly come. Chances are the next time you hear from me will be from South Africa as I am being picked up tomorrow morning at 4:30 AM to be whisked off to JFK airport in NYC. I want to think everything is done. I haven't actually packed everything into bags yet, but that's my job today. I need to make another quick run to the store (drive that is) and then I can pack up. And I think once that is done, I will feel really "ready". I did just check in online though and printed my boarding pass so mark that off the to do list.
