Happy New Year and More
Well here we are almost through the first month of the new year. How are the resolutions coming? Hopefully you are still on track. But even if you should waver a little, just make the necessary adjustment and keep moving. Don’t stress over whether you are or are not staying true to your goal(s). Make the fix and keep moving.

The Olympian: An American Triumph
Muhammad Ali. Jackie Robinson. Dr. John Baxter Taylor, Jr. The first two names need no introduction. The latter, Dr. Taylor, may not have been a three-time World Heavyweight Champion or dominate in six World Series, but his accomplishments are stunning: Dr. Taylor was the first African American to win an Olympic Gold medal. Dr. Taylor is little known; his obscurity perpetuated further by the fact that the great Olympian Jesse Owens is often accredited with Dr. Taylor’s landmark Olympic achievement.

2011 ING NYC Marathon
Well here I am the day after the 2011 NYC marathon and I decided that it’s time to take a break from feeding my face to put some of my thoughts down about the weekend. As many of you know, I once again raced with Ethan Zohn and his charity Grassroot Soccer, raising money for [...]
Relapse – A Brother in Battle
So if you haven’t heard the news, my buddy Ethan Zohn’s cancer is back. I found out earlier this week just before the news broke to the rest of the world. It’s maddening… and frustrating. I have faith that Ethan will once again kick the crud out of his Hodgkins Lymphoma. And I keep finding [...]

Redemption Running
I headed out this morning for what needed to be about a 15 mile jaunt. I am two weeks out from the NYC marathon so technically last weekend should have been a 20 mile training run but that didn’t quite happen. But it’s OK. I’ll figure it out on race day. (the most famous of [...]

What a Difference a Day Makes
Well, I am glad that is over. I am happy to report that we successfully made it through Hurricane Irene. Although our area was pretty badly hit, we personally made out very well with minimal issues. Ironically, on Friday afternoon, Ethan Zohn fired me a text message saying he was in Philly and wanted to [...]
