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

As I have built myself up as a runner I have made many friends. Some of those friends are multi sport athletes. I began riding a bike. And I have for a while now toyed with the idea of taking on a triathlon. Then in 2025 after a year of big bike adventures which included riding around all of the 11 finger lakes in NY, culminating in a 100 mile ride (my… Read More

Even though I love running now I think my previous relationship with football and dreaming of being a sports photographer and collecting sports cards weighs in on this one. I also think that a photo of a sport like football really captures the action more than in a sport like running. A still image is challenging to capture the performance of running which is speed and movement.

I grew up loving sports. Mostly baseball, football, and basketball. Reading newspapers and magazines and seeing the amazing photographs that the sports photographers were able to capture was always something I loved. I never thought I would be a sports photographer. When I first started in photography sports was the farthest thing from my mind as a subject. But at some point I began to think about merging two things that I… Read More

Running has become my passion. But, I have always loved sports in general. I grew up loving baseball and football. And my appreciation for sports has grown over the years to encompass a lot that I never thought it would. I don’t photograph sports as much as I like to. It can be hard to schedule and it I something that needs to be planned out much more in advance than other… Read More

Lure Coursing. I love watching dogs do what they do. This is especially true when dogs use the full potential of what makes them dogs. Watching dogs run full speed. Legs moving as fast as can be in hot pursuit. This is a sight to see. Dogs chasing the lure around a predetermined course. Hot on the tail of the lure. The dogs are so excited and ready to go. Joy and… Read More

I love that Tangelwood Nature Center regularly holds trail races. This is really the only trail race that is in my backyard. And I love these trails. I have run trail races at Tanglewood twice. Once was my very first trail race. And I ran on the trails here when I first began to think about getting into running. These are the trails I most regularly visit. Equal parts beauty and challenge….

The German Shorthair Pointer is an active and agile dog. Very fitting that they are amongst the sporting group in the AKC. I love the active aspect of a German Shorthair Pointer. I am always looking for a dog that I could run with and this is a dog I could imagine sharing the joy of running with. The look of the German Shorthair Pointer breed is also something that I really… Read More

Last year I ran the 12 hour version of the Hills Creek Endurance Challenge. I had such a positive experience there that this year I really wanted to return to the event, but in a totally different way. This year I was back at the Hills Creek Endurance Challenge, but not as a runner as a photographer. As a photographer I love these loop course races. They present so many opportunities for… Read More
