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….

Running has brought me a lot of things over the years. One of the most important things running has brought into my life is friendship and community. After several years of battling a variety of different nagging injuries that have kept me from being as much of a part of the running community as I would want to be I was feeling a little lost in my pursuit of running. I have… Read More

At this point I have not been able to run regularly for around 2 months. In mid April I decided to try to run 3 miles at our local group run, because my leg had been feeling fine with everything else I had been doing, which excluded only running. I ran 3 miles. But it was quite painful the entire time. Next up was Hills Creek Challenge on May 3rd. I had… Read More

I am going to say something that a my younger self would never thought possible. I love running. My first love in sports was baseball. Then I developed a love of football and played football throughout high school. But developing a new sports love as an adult is a whole new joyful experience. Welcome to my life running.

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 really did not have this on my BINGO card a year ago. As little as months ago I was just focused on trying to get healthy, stay healthy, and hopefully finish my first ultramarathon in over two years. I just wanted to have a good solid year of running culminating in one big event to cap it off. As I started to feel better and believe maybe I could actually finish… Read More

In what appears to be on its way to becoming an annual tradition I have been at the Mighty Mosquito 99 event 3 out of the last 4 years. My first appearance was in 2021 to attempt the solo 100 mile event. And then I have been back twice to participate in the relay with a great group of friends. And I probably would have been there 4 years in a row… Read More

Earlier this year I ran the Sehgahunda Trail Relay. Sehgahunda is a fun running event. It is a trail marathon and relay. 26 miles on some of the most fun trails. Running through the forest at a beautiful state park in New York. I have run this event 5 times. I think I have run it in every possible configuration now. I have run it as a 4 person relay twice. It… Read More
