Dear Running, I never expected you to become such a defining force in my life, but here we are. You’ve led me to places, people, and experiences I never imagined. You made me tougher. You kept me focused. You taught me to stick it out. I’ve experienced the sunrise along quiet roads and the loud …
Prague is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve had the privilege to visit. Someone convinced me to buy a good old fashion point and shoot camera. I tested out in Prague for the first time while on a run. I must say I had more fun with it than fumbling with my phone to …
I can’t wait to return to Thailand. It is one of a kind! I had 3 hours before I had to leave for the airport, so I dashed out of my hotel, jumped on the metro and I was on my way to the Palace and everything else I could soak in, in the time …
Just sharing some of my pics of Cote D’Azur and Monaco. Most were taken in moving vehicles. Hey, I make the most of every situation! It really is a beautiful place and it is definitely on my list to return to on a real vacation.
I spent some time in the in Nice, France and Monaco recently. One of the first things I did was to look for potential running routes on my way to my hotel. I didn’t have to look very far. One of the nicest running routes was the Promenade des Anglais, which ran parallel to the …
Yes, running is indeed a contact sport. You make contact with tree roots, wet leaves, puddles, children, dogs, cars, bikes, rocks, string, potholes, and even imaginary objects that you think are in your way. I had a spectacular fall a few weeks ago, while running in the early morning. It happened on a path that … Continue reading
The first leg of my 10 day trip brought me to Milan, the fashion capital of Italy. I did not get a chance to run while in Milan. I was too jet lagged to function and focus well on why I was actually there, so the little free time I had was spent sleeping in … Continue reading

I took a quick trip to the town of Rye Brook in upstate New York recently and I had the opportunity to go for a run in Crawford Park. I was in the company of much faster, more seasoned runner (as usual), but I enjoyed the short, and hilly course. Turns out we didn’t cover … Continue reading
It’s that time of year again: marathon training AND running in hot weather. I say hot, because warm weather doesn’t happen in these parts. We tend to go from cold to hot in a matter of days. After my trip to Cote D’Azur, I ran a football themed 5k. With all of my excitement with … Continue reading
Volunteer at a race! I had the pleasure of volunteering at the More Magazine/Fitness Magazine Half-Marathon on Sunday. I arrived for my assignment at 6:30 am. Walking through Central Park that early with very few people, besides the race organizers, around was one of the most peaceful, zen moments I’ve had in a while. I … Continue reading
I’m back from my european tour. I managed to get one good run in during me trip to London. I ran in Regent’s Park. Regent’s Park is one of the Royal parks. It covers about 395 acres and includes the London Zoo. Henry VIII once used it as hunting grounds and today it is a … Continue reading
Hi there, So I’m back on my world wide tour, currently making my way through Western Europe. I’m of course training, or trying to train for a few upcoming races. The first one is the New York Half in March. Guess what? With all of this travel, 20k miles in two weeks so far, it … Continue reading
Happy New Year!! I took a little break from running after the NYC Marathon cancellation, my total miles per week during that time was around 10 miles per week. I took some time to eat, drink and be merry. I was fortunate to start the year running! Surprised? I hope not. I felt like a … Continue reading
So superstorm Sandy blew into town and my big test got canceled. I’m still processing the cancellation, the reaction and what to do next. So stay tuned. But before I leave, I’d like to share with you some choice phrases from people who opposed the runners of the 2012 New York City Marathon. As runners … Continue reading
