Almost an Ironman

By Steve | Published: July 14, 2009
I know I typically post my own thoughts here, but I'll make an exception in this case. This recap of Rhonda Cohen's near ironman experience is worthy of sharing. I have known Rhonda for a numbers of years and have followed, (or dare I say helped fuel) Ronda's passion and drive along the way. She has often called me a source of her inspiration. But her story is one of perseverance, drive, and overcoming what may seem impossible - or at least unlikely. Although Rhonda slightly missed the mark with this ironman attempt, she still epitomizes everything that a triathlete stands for and remains an inspiration for many women.

Riding the Jersey Coast

By Steve | Published: July 7, 2008
It was a little warm this weekend. Ok, it was 94 degrees with a heat index of 105 so maybe it was more than a little warm. But it was still a great day to be on a bike. Especially near the beach.

Catching the Ponytail

By Steve | Published: May 22, 2008
Forbidden Drive in Philadelphia's Wissahickon Park is one of my favorite places to run. The Drive itself offers a relatively flat and soft surface with amazing views of the river. But all it takes is a quick turn off of the main Drive and you are faced with some of the best and most challenging trails anywhere. And you will not be alone on the Drive.
