SPAC ~ May 20, 2012Can I blame my less than stellar time (28:27) on Max London? No, probably not, but I can thank Capriccio Saratoga for the excellent Pasta Puttanesca carb load we enjoyed Saturday night. I can also say, that it was a hot morning and a hillier than expected course. And a lot … Continue reading Rock & Run recap

Rock n Run
Delmar Dash DayI haven't really written too much about running lately...because I've been too damn busy running! I ran a couple of races in March, including the Running of the Green (4 mi., 37:10) and the Ice Breaker Challenge 5k (26:25), while April's focus was the Delmar Dash (5 mi, 43:50).

Inventorying my fridge, I came up with a few chunks of sweet potatoes, some mashed potatoes, a small amount of sautéed mushrooms from Saturday's strip steak meal and some gravy. I thought I had some turkey, but … Continue reading Turkey Pot Pie, sort of
Admit 2
or perhaps I should say two admissions. This weekend, for the first time ever, I agreed to be described with two adjectives I generally wouldn't use to describe myself. At least not publicly. The first was at a party last night. The house was cozy with food and beverages and many familiar faces. It was … Continue reading Admit 2
