Cranes and Carpenters @ Jones
Despite the reconstruction that is underway, Jones Beach is still in trouble. Only the westernmost end of the boardwalk was open today, though I was told the entire length would be open this weekend in time for Memorial Day and … Continue reading

The Sick Irony of Legs
Headlines scream so loud that you can see the blood: “So many people without legs!” Legs – the two body parts you need to run a race. I’ve muttered to myself during marathons, “Legs, don’t fail me now,” and to … Continue reading

Blue Ribbons
I ran the Blue Ribbon 5K Run for Prostate Cancer this morning. We all know what pink ribbons signify, but I didn’t know the blue ribbon is a powerful icon against a potentially deadly disease in men. I learned something. … Continue reading
Marathon at the Met

6.2 in 62
Sixty-two is the magic number in more ways than I care to explain. I ran a 10k race this morning, the first in a long while. I finished in 62 minutes, which is slow for me, but I haven’t been … Continue reading
Running Into the 10th Anniversary
I ran down to the sparkling bay this morning (Oyster Bay) just as throngs of firefighters and somber-faced families were assembling for our local 9/11 memorial ceremony. There already exists an offiicial memorial along the waterfront, but today also marks … Continue reading
The Late Great Greta
As I slip on my running shoes this morning, I can only think of the inspirational Greta Waitz, the 9-time winner of the NYC Marathon, who succumbed to cancer at age 57. I saw her a few times in New … Continue reading
