The Wineglass Marathon is a great local event that runners attend from all over. It is where I ran my first ever half marathon. I have stood along the course and cheered and photographed runners for several years. And the last three years I have volunteers as bike support for the event. And in 2024 I also volunteered to work at the Wineglass Expo helping fellow runners and their families get any… Read More

I recently ran the Finger Lakes Running Club Skunk Cabbage Classic. I have run this race several times in the past. This years race would be different for me. Different from my previous Skunk Cabbage races and different than most half marathons I have run in a while. 2024 is a new year with new experiences on deck.

Runners have been training long and hard to run races, set PR’s, and take on new challenges. Then we were hit with the Corona Virus Pandemic. All events with large gatherings were cancelled.

I have now run 7 half marathons but this last one I ran might just be the one that means the most to me. I ran my first 5k around 6 years ago and my foray into running dates to before that time. I never really thought I would have a chance to experience what I did in this last race and it was truly special to me. When I started running… Read More

So that is obviously a great way to start of the racing season. I ran the 2019 Skunk Cabbage Classic hosted by the Finger Lakes Running Club . My goal was to… Read More

Training for my first 50 mile race continues. I have several races built in as more serious training runs essentially prior to my 50 mile race. I “planned” other races into my training before I reach my date with a 50 miler, but I will admit most of them were not particularly strategic. They are more that I just want to run that race. I am a little under a month away… Read More

Running the 2016 Wineglass Half Marathon: I’ve known for about 52 weeks that I would run this race again. I ran my first half marathon here in 2015 and I knew I wanted to do it again and do it better. This was the one race I knew early on I would run this year. Last year I was nervous if I would even be able to do it, but I did…. Read More

We all have our own little idiosyncrasies. Sometimes we don’t really know why we do the things we do. Other times it’s pretty obvious why we do them. I know exactly why I do some of the things I do. The things that really move us, the things that are important a to us, the things we love. This is what causes us to do some of the strange things we do… Read More
