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 [...]

2009 ING NYC Marathon Recap
The 2009 ING New York City Marathon was truly an amazing experience. I raced NYC this year as part of Ethan Zohn’s charitable organization Grassroot Soccer (GRS) which raises funds for AIDS and HIV education and awareness. Our team raised a combined $150,000 for the cause.
NYC 26.2
If nothing else, I will have fun. I don't anticipate an exceptionally fast day. But between the newness and excitement of a course like NY, and sharing it with 48,000 other runners and a couple of million spectators, you never know what kind of day it could turn out to be.
