This has been a big change this year. Switching from training mostly for ultra marathons to training for multi sport events. Goodbye long slow runs and building up miles. Hello to short fast runs, bricks, and long rides. It was especially tricky making this switch mid season. I had one big ultra marathons to check off in spring because eI had to defer it from last year due to injury. Missing time… Read More

I really thought trail running was my Goldilocks Zone of sport. The perfect combination of difficulty, beauty, joy, and nature. I was happiest on the trails. At Any pace or any distance. Then injuries forced me to take a different route. I have spent much of the past 4 years unable to run pain free if I could run at all. It forced me to change and adapt. To find new joys… Read More

I have been involved in running for a long time now. I have run all sorts of races. 5k- 100 miles. Road to trails. Solo and relay. Flat and fast pavement to up and down ski slopes. Even on snow shoes. And I also run with my dog. I have also been involved as a volunteer. I am in my second stint on the board of directors of our local all volunteer… Read More

There are not many races that I run year after year. But Sehgahunda Trail Marathon and Relay keeps bringing me back. It takes place at a beautiful state park, that has so much to explore. The trails are some of my favorites to run on. Not too much climbing (my nemesis). And there are a variety of ways to participate in the event. I have run this event in every configuration possible….

I have never been more satisfied with a DNF. No one goes into a race not wanting to finish. Of course everyone wants to finish the race. They have put a whole bunch of training into this effort. They want to get out there and finish the job. For me this DNF was a long time coming. I waited two years to earn this DNF. I was supposed to run this event… Read More

So many fun and exciting things in the works for 2026. Running and biking and SWIMMING (what the heck!) But two of the things I am most excited about have nothing to do with my personal running and fitness. In 2026 I am starting my second year being on the board of the Southern Tier Running Club (STRC) again. Our running club has many fun things going on as always. But for… Read More

Mother Nature has been cruel to us here in upstate NY of rate past month or so. After a particularly cold and brutal winter we thought we maybe were beginning to see the end of it. There were several day strings a few times of temperatures well above seasonal averages. It was really beginning to feel like spring was around the corner. But alas, Mother Nature was just toying with us. She… Read More

I don’t know if it good or bad that my favorite photos are both images that I created quite some time ago now. But at least that means I don’t have recency bias. Part of the reason I like the first image from Lucifer’s crossing is that it required a lot of work to create that one image. I had to be on location to capture the photographs in the first place….

When I first started creating these images it was completely by acccident. And I don’t think I liked them very much. They were not what I was hoping to create. Now if I photograph an event and I come back without at least a few interesting swirly images I am a bit disappointed.

In November I have had a couple of opportunities to photograph some races. It is always a fun experience to be out on a race course and capture the moments of runners putting in the effort. In early November I was out on the course for the Revenge of the Red Baron. One of the most challenging events the Southern Tier Running Club has to offer. Then at the end of the… Read More
