I’ve been in SC for a full week, and I am finally feeling somewhat relaxed. I know it has been a week because my “desert island calendar” said 7 days this morning. And it is even a diary of sorts because I know I got the oyster shell on my 20-mile run day. The beachContinue reading “Vacation Week 1/3”

A change in latitude.
WOW. It is already January 10th, and I never even wrote a 2024 wrap-up post or one about my drive home from Panama City Beach (Ironman Florida) in November or my vacation in Siesta Key in December! Will get around to those later but for today will just write about the last few days. IContinue reading “A change in latitude.”
Florida, then and now
As usual, I didn’t get much (well, ANY) blogging done while on vacation in Florida for the last 7 days. So today with 90 minutes of time between Sarasota and JFK I WILL write about my drive (3 WEEKS ago) from Buffalo to Florida (Panama City Beach for Ironman Florida, I DID, at least, alreadyContinue reading “Florida, then and now”
Ironman Florida 2024
I am blogging at the beach! It is February 4th and after a great Waffle House breakfast, I dropped Alex at the tiny airport for their trip back to Brooklyn. They were my Sherpa for the race and also volunteered for 7 hours at a run aid station; handing out water, electrolytes, ice, and foodContinue reading “Ironman Florida 2024”

I’s got the Meats!
I’ve wanted to write about going to my first-ever Meat Raffle for 3 weeks but have been too busy finishing my Ironman Training, packing, work, and personal stuff. Driving into the Central Time Zone has given me a bonus hour to write poolside in Birmingham, Alabama. It’s 81 and humid at 4 pm so goodContinue reading “I’s got the Meats!”

3 Days of Swimming, Dogs and Music!
On the 55th anniversary of Woodstock I had a fun weekend. After 5 days of Covid (I tested negative but someone who caught my “cold” then tested positive so I guess this was my second bout of Covid, 2 years since my last) I was 95% better on Friday, August 15th. And the good newsContinue reading “3 Days of Swimming, Dogs and Music!”
An AUGUST Week
A week ago on Sunday, I spent the morning swimming in Lake Ontario while Alex and Fifa played in the surf. It was a really fun day and I wanted to do a blog post about it but I worked on Monday AND Wednesday this week and didn’t get it done. Today Alex came toContinue reading “An AUGUST Week”
Lake Placid 2024: Last 2 days
Finally, we will be wrapping up the Lake Placid 2024 Camping/Volunteering trip. I keep hearing on the news that there are less than 100 days until the election. That makes me think about the fact that I am doing Ironman Florida a few days before the election. So I have less than 100 days ofContinue reading “Lake Placid 2024: Last 2 days”
