HOKA One Test Run

I just recently took my new pair of HOKA One’s out for a test spin. I saw HOKA burst onto the running and triathlon scenes a couple of years ago and my curiosity was piqued. While historically I have been somewhat a moderate to minimalist to a neutral shoe wearer, I had to check these [...]

Stay Tuned for Some New News

Rehoboth Beach Half Marathon & Marathon

What a great weekend I had at the Rehoboth Beach Half Marathon & Marathon! I opted to run the half since I haven’t had enough training volume due to chemo treatments. And I had never run this race which made it a fun adventure on race day. For me, there’s something to be said for [...]

2016 Philly Marathon and Half Marathon Weekend

Congrats to all marathon, half marathon, and 8k finishers in Philly this year. I can speak from personal experience the conditions for Saturday’s 13.1 were beautiful.

2016 NYC 26.2 and Grassroot Soccer (and Shep)

So, here’s the thing… For the past 7 years I have raced the NYC marathon with my good buddy Ethan Zohn in support of his charity Grassroot Soccer.
