I am a pretty regular user of Google Maps as well as the satellite and street view features of it.

📆 January 22, 2017
I have been a runner for a major part of my life. Not champion material, not elite, not even great, just average.

Hot Humid Running
📆 July 24, 2013
A dome of heat and humidity has covered the northeast for some time now and doesn't seem ready to move on. Running in such condition isn't fun, but some of us endorphin junkies don’t have a choice. Conditions be damned, the run must go on. Read an interesting and humorous article on this and some — Continue reading »
Boston
📆 April 16, 2013
Big sympathy for Boston, the marathon runners, and those affected in the senseless act of violence. Hope for a swift and severe justice to whoever did this to one of my favorite cities and one of my favorite activities. — Continue reading »
