My Favorite Running Gear

Those of you who know me know I have two main pasions: running and cool gear/tech toys. In many respects, with the advent of technology and wearables, running marries these two passions. As a result, I tend to take my gear pretty seriously — maybe too seriously! And as such, I am…

APPLE WATCH SERIES 3: MY TAKE

I’ll confess, I was not a fan of Apple Watch Series 1. At all. There was very little I liked about it and for those of you who know what an Apple fanboy I am, know that’s hard for me to admit. It was very slow and confusing to use. I wasn’t the only one who felt that it was a beta product at…

Ragnar Tahoe

Last weekend, for the second time, I ran Ragnar Tahoe with three other friends. We ran together as a team last year as well.

We ran in the ultra masters category, i.e. old guys who like to go far. The big difference between this year and last is that we rented a house; man, what…

Mont Blanc Marathon

The quick synposis is this: I came, I saw, I got my ass absolutely handed to me.

I have long been waiting for a new adventure to organically present itself and it finally occured a few weeks ago.

Earlier this year I reached out to a tour company that handles logistics for the Mont Blanc marathon. They told me the race was closed for 2017 but that…

Way Too Cool 2017

Super Bowl 7 Miler

Yesterday my son and his buddy Paul ran a very quirky seven mile run. It’s called Roger’s Super Bown 7 miler and Roger has been running it for the last 35 years. It’s a handicapped race ala the Dipsea and the handicaps seem a little … ummm .. arbitrary. I believe there were about 50 runners in…

Medium!

Well, I have wanted to try this for a long while now: moving my blog to Medium. I think I’ve finally figured out how to do this: by setting up what they refer to as a “Publication.” Let’s see how this goes.

This blog will fundamentally mirror my old one, and if all goes well, I will port…
