I have run the Brooklyn Half Marathon once before. It was 2011, and I had just started training for my first marathon. I was in the best shape of my life. I was fast, fit, strong, and confident. The Brooklyn Half Marathon that year was in no way a goal race. And was working toward 26. I wanted a strong race with a proud finish. Imagine my annoyance and pissed of.

A much-needed update here, with words and video, to boot. I interviewed 5x Olympian volleyball player Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross. Her partner in Rio and with whom sh nabbed a bronze medal. I also wrote about Paralympian Alana Nichols. And what she fuels up. With before and after her rigorous parakayak workouts.

Adventures in endurance sports, dog parenting, and other challenges. Friday, November 8, 2013. Hope to see you there! Tuesday, October 1, 2013.

Learn as if you were to live forever; live as if you were to die tomorrow. Monday, November 22, 2010. Sport is special to me. It was a big part of my life as a child. As a young adult, and even today. Over 40 years, I have loved it and hated it. I have been inspired by it. I have been disappointed by it. But its always been there. And it always will be here. I am inspired by the best in the world, excelling beyond our wildest.

How disconcerting to find that a year has gone by since my last post. October, November and December were pretty rocky between the fires.
