I’m organizing a team to ride in the National MS Society’s City to Shore this September for the second year. And that means you should donate some funds. If you need another reason, read this article: Donating to charity is good for the brain, according to study | Chicago Tribune

Way back in February, while laying waste to Colorado with my wicked, jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring snowboard maneuvers, Colorado laid waste to me, in the form of tearing up my ankle something fierce. Unfortunately, two weeks before the injury occurred, I had signed up for a springtime half-marathon in Beantown. This half-marathon was fast approaching. Instead of […]

I think she may have used a non-nutritive cereal varnish to improve her performance. Or possibly a non-caloric silicon-based kitchen lubricant creating a surface 500 times more slippery than any cooking oil to increase her speed. Either way, my little sister Lauren decided to exploit my stint on the injured reserve and presumably cheat her […]

The MS150 City to Shore charity bike ride last weekend went off with only a few minor hitches:

The 300 mile drive from Boston to Philly took 8 hours on Friday thanks to rush hour traffic from New Haven all the way to Newark. The rain didn’t help either.
I over-inflated Lauren’s tire at midnight on Friday […]

In September, I’ll be pedaling 150 miles from Cherry Hill, NJ to Ocean City and back to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. I’ve formed a team for the first time and we have some pretty ambitious fundraising goals. If you’d like to help out, click here to visit my personal fundraising page and learn more […]

Last weekend, the little sis and I ran a 10-miler in Philly. After the half-marathon, this run was easy… 10 miles downhill the entire time. The only problem was the crowd: 14,000 people running down Broad Street made it difficult to get around the slow people that insist on starting up front. No matter how […]

A couple of weeks ago Christy and I traveled by Fung Wah to NYC to run in the Queens Half-Marathon. For those slow on the uptake, that’s a 13.1 mile jaunt through the 2nd most uninteresting borough in New York. And if you’re not familiar with the Fung Wah, a.k.a the wild chicken trucks, then […]

In case you live in a cave, there’s a bit of unrest throughout the Muslim world in response to editorial cartoons published in Danish newspapers last year. Other countries then decided to widely publish those same cartoons and say “Hey, lookie here! These are the cartoons that are driving the Muslims crazy!” Well, let’s just […]

I promised and now I shall deliver - the photographic evidence of my worn and beaten self struggling for the finish line in Toronto. Unfortunately, since they’re trying to make money by getting me to purchase 8×10s of this glorious moment, this small, poor-resolution image that I lifted from the photographer’s website is the best […]

I’m foolish enough to go all the way to another country to physically torture myself - this time in the form of a half marathon. I managed to finish in decent time, and although my official results have me clocked at 1:47:40, I didn’t cross the start line until almost 4 minutes after the gun […]
