Last weekend we headed northeast on a 6 hour drive to the town of South Hero, VT for the Green Mountain Marathon. Unlike it’s namesake, the area is incredibly flat and turned out to be a beautiful but adventurous route. We drove up with a friend of ours the night before and finished up our […]

Post Race Ragnar Adirondacks 2012
Ok, this is going to be a tough post to keep short but I’m going to do my best and give the highlights and general outline of the past weekend we spent doing an AMAZING and AWESOME relay race (Ragnar Adirondacks). I have a feeling that Jeney will be editing this later on and adding […]
Life is short…so I painted him a surprise!
This past weekend, Adam flew to Denver to spend some time with his sister, brother-in-law and mother. I absolutely love family time, and I knew he was very excited to spend time with them. But I had other plans… A few months ago, I stumbled upon a cool picture of a girl holding a sign. […]
Baked Shrimp With Tomatillos Recipe
This past weekend I had the opportunity to cook a dish that I hadn’t made for the better part of a year. Last fall, I tried making it for the first time and really liked it. It combines seafood, fresh veggies, and cheese – what’s not to love about it?!? I had also never used […]
Adirondack White Water Rafting
This past weekend we headed up to the northeast of Ithaca a few hours to spend a night at the Lewey Lake campground, near Speculator, NY, which we followed up with a day of white water rafting down the Indian and Hudson rivers in the beautiful Adirondacks. Both Jeney and I have been rafting in […]
Agava Restaurant – Ithaca, NY
We stopped by Agava on a Wedensday night and had a great surprise – a new restaurant in Ithaca with good service and great food! We went in around 7pm and while it was busy it wasn’t too crowded, always a nice thing. We put our names in and were told it would be about 10 minutes […]
Catharine Valley Half Marathon, Watkins Glen, NY
This past weekend we went over one lake to Watkins Glen to run the Catharine Valley Half marathon with a few friends. This was a “last minute” plan as our marathon training guide called for a half marathon – we looked around and found this one and decided to sign up. It turned out to […]
Conference in Boston! (or how to make the best of business trips)
A few months ago, I got the ok from my boss to go to a conference in Boston. Being the good little scientist/traveler that I am, I decided that I will make the best of my short trip to eat and drink my way around such a beautiful city (amid the networking and learning at […]
Adirondacks Ragnar Relay Prep
The clock is ticking towards the 2012 Adirondacks Ragnar – we’ve been getting our mileage up in preparation for this race, and for the Green Mt marathon a few weeks after the relay. It has been pretty warm for our long Saturday runs and that has definitely been affecting me. Although we are good about […]
Easy Grilled Shrimp Recipe
Yesterday I had the chance to grill a couple of pounds of shrimp – something I haven’t done in a long time. I took a look at some recipes for a quick brush on sauce and ended going with a quick and easy to make marinade. The original recipe called for fresh ingredients and a […]
