2014 Marine Corp Marathon – I Teared Up at That
Those marines sure know how to throw a party. I will try to keep this brief as I know nobody likes getting lulled to sleep with long drawn out race reports. While my effort at this year’s Marine Corp Marathon was a slow run/walk, it was nothing short of moving and inspirational. This was my [...]

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.

Hey gang. I am teaming up with Ethan Zohn again to race the ING NYC Marathon for his charity Grassroot Soccer. This would have been my 5th trip to this event. But a wet witch who goes by the name of Sandy had other plans for last year’s race. Looking forward to going [...]
Two Oceans Ultra Marathon – Part 5 Race Day
As expected, I didn't sleep all that well on Friday night. But I am quite accustomed to not sleeping the night before a race and try to make sure I have some extra rest hours in the bank the couple of days leading up to race day. We all started to congregate in the living room area of the guest house by 4:45. Our wonderful guest house proprietors, Tonia and Paul had the coffee on and pre bagged breakfast to go ready for everyone. Love those guys.
