My First Win I was driving this winter, again, from Toronto to Florida on my usual January getaway to see family and continue making business inroads with my sports marketing company. It’s necessary to drive when you have bikes, roller blades, tennis racquets, [...] Read More » -
New York, New York – Race #28
There is probably no greater downtown city to run in than Manhattan, and during the New York City Marathon Weekend it’s without equal. When you step out of the subway or train at Penn Station you immediately feel the boost of energy in the air, the rush and pace of the world’s most amazing [...] Read More » -
45 and 45 – Race Updates (Logs, Rocks and Steel)
Logs, Rocks and Steel – The Rematch It’s three days later and my legs still hurt. I need a few drinks to loosen up and write this entry, not sure if the Writer’s Guild or Blogging Society of the Internet (I made that up) wants to hear that. In my 16 years of racing it’s [...] Read More » -

45 and 45 – Update #3 – Warrior Dash
Warrior Dash – Race #5 I promised a separate entry for this wild and woolly affair last weekend, but my next two races (#6 and #7) were pretty interesting in their own right, so let’s get straight to the Mud, Sweat and Beers immediately.
