In mid June, 2014, we headed down south for one of the closer Ragnars. This was our second trail Ragnar and it took place in West Virginia – a short 6-ish hour drive for us! It was a nice change of pace not having to rent cars or vans; we ended up taking our two […]

Our First Triathlon – Tri For The Y Ithaca
This is one for posterity…better late than never! Our first triathlon was a modified Sprint distance that was sponsored by the local YMCA. This was a great first tri – less than 100 entrants, indoor swim, and a local course. It was a lot of fun and we had several friends also complete this triathlon. […]
Thom B. Trail Run 2014
A couple weeks back I went out towards Greek Peak to the Hammond Hill Forest area for the Thom B. 2014 trail run. Jeney and I had previously run this course 2 years back – but this time I wanted to try doing 2 loops for a combined 26 kilometers (~15.75 miles). The people that […]
Paleo Fish Tacos
I have never been big on making my own tortillas. However, I love tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and have been trying to stick to a mostly Paleo diet while cranking up the training for upcoming races. I was looking around for something different and found a recipe for plantain tortillas. My first thought was, “hmmm…I wonder […]
Down South For 2014 Ragnar Trail Atlanta
Earlier this year we decided that trying a trail Ragnar was near the top of our list for events we wanted to do this year. Luckily, our friend Kaleigh felt the same – although I think a large part of it was her obsession with completing races in all 50 states, and Georgia had not […]
Syracuse Half Marathon 2014
This past weekend, on March 23rd, we headed up north a few miles from Ithaca for the Syracuse Half Marathon. Several months ago we though, “hey – this would be a great spring time season opener run!”. We couldn’t have been more wrong… We woke up at 6am to blowing snow and icy roads – […]
35 – A Motivating Banff Short Film
A few weeks ago, on our anniversary evening, Jeney and I went to the large Cornell auditorium for a showing of the 2014 BANFF film festival. One short film in particular really hit home with me. If you have 5 minutes, watch this film – 35. 35 from ARC’TERYX on Vimeo. Fun side note […]
Great Breakfast In Ithaca – Coal Yard Cafe
Last weekend, while Jeney was still recovering from pneumonia(!), the rest of our regular running group ventured out into the 10-ish degree weather in Ithaca and ended up having a good run. I ended up copying a friends route that added a few miles and was happy to finish up with just over 12 miles. […]
Florida Keys Ragnar 2014
It’s been awhile since we last posted. Have we stopped running? Have we stopped eating yummy things? NO! What has been going on is life in general and the cold weather in Ithaca – although we’ve been running, it’s been snowing, windy, and just generally cold for the last 4 months. That won’t stop us […]
Ragnar Adirondacks 2013
This year we headed up north for the Ragnar Adirondacks (ADK) with a larger group – the full 12 person team. It was a nice change from the ultra 6-person layout we did last year and due to an earlier start time (8am) we got to see parts of the course that we had run […]
