Last night I finally got back on the path for my 4th run in the summer series. I swear my skipping a few weeks was completely unrelated to the challenge of Thacher Park! Life has been a bit hectic and I've been running later in the evening because of the heat. It was the second time … Continue reading ARE summer trail series – Week 8

The Graduate
In the early aughts,* we rented a house in South Chatham, MA, for 3 or 4 consecutive years. It was a simple Cape with a super comfortable vibe and, once I rolled up and stashed all of the potentially treacherous throw rugs which were scattered about, the perfect place to relax with young children. There … Continue reading The Graduate
Seen all over the TU
I had a pretty busy weekend. If you have any doubt of that, check out the timesunion.com homepage from earlier today. In the upper left hand corner, there's my Seen gallery from Friday night's Dave Matthews Band show at SPAC.

Last week was a crazy, busy week for me with an activity or event every single night other than Monday, which ended up … Continue reading Running out of my comfort zone – and county
ARE Summer Trail Series – Week 4
After missing last week's run at Five Rivers, I was excited to get back on the trail with Thursday night's 3 miler up at Thacher Park. And I do mean up. The first approximate mile was pretty much an uphill climb. The saving grace was the fact that the trail wound about a bit, in … Continue reading ARE Summer Trail Series – Week 4
ARE – Summer Trail Series, Week 1
On a night that felt borderline oppressive in the city, I loaded up my wagon with lots of water, towels and Jeter and headed south to Schodack Island State Park for the first trail run of the summer season. One of my summer goals is to make at least half of these runs and, so … Continue reading ARE – Summer Trail Series, Week 1
