I probably broke a bunch of hiking rules today when I went exploring in one of the state parks in my hometown. It was a nice hike until I decided to head back and about half hour into the return trip and lost in thought, it occurred to me that I had no idea where — Continue reading »
Jogging Tragedy
📆 March 16, 2010
I happened on this story today about a 38-year old father who was struck and killed from behind by a small plane making an emergency landing. As a fellow jogger and a father I found the story saddening and I wish his family the best as they cope with the terrible loss. What made this — Continue reading »
Miami Beach Running
📆 January 25, 2010
Last year when I was at Miami Beach on business, I went out for a jog on the boardwalk on the western side of the island, but after some distance hit a construction barricade and was forced onto the streets. This year however, with the construction apparently over, I was pleasantly surprised. The boardwalk extends — Continue reading »
Night Running
📆 January 13, 2010

In winter time, when I run after work, I usually stick — Continue reading »

2009 Hartford Half Marathon
📆 October 11, 2009
Seems like it was only a few days ago since I ran my last half marathon. Well, it actually was only a few days ago, and I found myself running another one this past Saturday, the ING Hartford Half Marathon. Actually this is really a marathon race but it incorporates a half marathon as well — Continue reading »
Half Marathon
📆 October 5, 2009
Yesterday I ran the annual half marathon in my hometown of Ridgefield, Connecticut. It was the second time for me running a race after my herniated disc injury nearly 2 years ago and rather unexpectedly I did better than last year. My results came in at 1:55:15 which made it a 8:48/mile pace. That's my — Continue reading »
