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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
Forest Frolic – Virgil, NY
This past Sunday we ran the Finger Lakes Runng Club’s “Forest Frolic” 15k trail run – what a run! To properly set the story, I need to back up 2 days. It was Friday, I had a half day off of work and was feeling pretty good. So, in my heightened spirits, I decide that […]
2012 Boilermaker – Utica, NY
This past weekend was the 35th annual Boilermaker road race. Jeney and I signed up too late (I might have procrastinated a little too long…) to run the 15k, but we did get in to the 5k. We had 3 friends that were registered for the 15k; we piled in to the 4runner and headed […]
2012 Adirondacks Ultra Ragnar, Here We Come!
We registered in the nick of time and are heading up to the Adirondacks in September, 2012, for the Adirondacks Ragnar. Even better, it looks like we’ll have at least two, and maybe three, teams coming from Ithaca. One of the upsides of registering as an ultra team (6 people max) is that the total […]
Running Gear, Odds And Ends
Now that we are getting into the actual distance portions of the marathon training I’m thinking that some gear additions might be a good idea. I generally like to keep things as simple as possible, but between the heat and humidity in Ithaca, and upstate New York in general, and some ideas I’ve had lately, […]
Nike+ FuelBand
As I was reading Adam’s posts from this week, I noted that he mentioned that I might make a post about the Nike+ FuelBand. So here it is! A little back story: Adam and I are a little techie. We like gadgets (we even build our own and are dreaming about running our house on microprocessors)! OOOooo shiny! […]
Nike Plus Site Update
I was in for a nice surprise this morning after my run – when I plugged in my watch to my computer there was a Nike Plus update! I’ve been wondering when they were going to do this, it has seen some incremental updates over the past years, but was in need of a revamp. […]
Oh My Goodness….Your Shoes Have Toes!
Ah, I still giggle a little bit when I get weird looks, double-takes and exclamations about my shoes. Yes folks, I wear toe shoes. And yes, I love them! I heard about them years ago, and on my birthday in 2010, I got the courage to try them out. Two years later, and I’ve changed […]
