I realize it is already April, but I kid you not, there is still snow on the ground. Thanks, Ithaca, for the “spring weather”. 😛 Here are a few of my cultivated winter shots from the past few years, as requested by Adam (and without, thankfully, the ice beard). We like to run with friends […]

Auxiliary workouts – Weight lifting?
I’ve started adding auxiliary workouts to my running. This all started when I injured my knees a few years ago and was forbidden from running by my physical therapist – side note, always listen to your PTs. I took up swim conditioning, because there was little to no impact and my knees were just dandy […]
2016 Early Running Plans
Well, it’s now March and it’s time to take a serious look at the year – at least for running and travels. We don’t have as many plans for 2016, although part of that is due to Jeney being wrapped up, for good reason, in completing her PhD work. Another reason is the uncertainty of […]
Winter Running Images In Ithaca
It’s been a fairly tame winter in the NE – at least in the Ithaca area. We had a relatively snow and ice free fall and early winter and have only recently (February) gotten into some of the REAL cold stuff. Today I went out for a short 4 mile trail run and it was […]
Ho Ho Holiday 5k Fun Run – Ithaca Version
Back in Vancouver, WA on the 13th of December, 2015, there was a big run/walk 5k to raise money for a good friend of mine who is having ongoing issues with a brain tumor. Since we couldn’t make it back from Ithaca for this, we posted on Facebook and asked friends to come out run a […]
Cat’s Tail Trail Marathon 2015
One thing that is always something to look forward to in upstate NY is the fall. Once the leaves start changing and the weather cools down – well, it’s just nice! On October 2nd, Jeney and I drove a few hours east towards Phoenicia, NY, for the inaugural running of the Cat’s Tail Trail Marathon. […]
Mt Democrat – Hiking In The Rockies
Yesterday we went up our first 14er while getting acclimated to the altitude here in Colorado – this was Jeney’s first hike up a 14er and my 3rd. Mt. Democrat, just outside Alma, CO, was a fun hike, and the weather couldn’t have been nicer. A short steep climb takes you from the trailhead at […]
Forest Frolic 2015 Race Report – or – Wow, I had no idea I could do that!
For the past few months, I’ve gotten seasoned to the “bang-bang” of the weekend runs thanks to Manitou’s Revenge. Big run on Saturday – BANG! Another big run on Sunday – BANG! Our plan this last weekend was simple: try to get Adam to do about 30 miles. We started with a “quick” 18 mile […]
Finger Lakes Fifties Trail Race 2015
This year for the 4th of July we started things out a little differently! After getting up at 4 am, we hopping in the car and drove about 30 miles west for the Finger Lakes Fifties – we were signed up for the 50k. As you can see below, we had a bit of rain […]
Ragnar Trail New England – Northfield, MA
We were excited when Ragnar announced a new Trail event in Massachusetts! Huzzah! A trail event in our backyard! Kind of…as we learned the location was still 5 hours away. Matters not! We’ll still do it and I bet we’ll have a lot of interest – we thought. Fast forward a few months, and […]
