Boston 2012: The Hot One

An hour outside of Utica, on the road to Boston, MA, the heat warning messages began arriving from the BAA.org. It was only Saturday, there was still hope for cooler temperatures. By Sunday, the BAA was offering deferrals for next year. Would I defer? No way.  This was another challenge waiting to be conquered.  I knew I could go 26.2 miles, I just didn’t know how fast slow or how my body would deal with the heat.  I’ve never run more than 1 hour in temperatures over 78 degrees. Heck! I run before the sun comes up in the morning [...]

Turning Stone 5K Run

It was the first race held at The Turning Stone Casino Resort in Vernon, New York.  The run was a 5K.  It wasn’t the usual fast and furious 5K crowd I’m used to seeing at local races.  In fact, when we were lining up at the starting line, no one seemed to want to be in front.  It was kind of amusing.  But – lets back track… The bike ride to the event: The race time was changed from 5 pm to 6 pm. This forced us to change our cycle route because if we took off from home there [...]

Doggy Driver

Spotted at Blockbuster Video, Friday night at 8pm a suspicious looking character, scoping out the video store. After he disappeared for a few minutes,  the store manager did a quick inventory check and found several movies missing: 1.  “Lassie Come Home” 2.  “Old Yeller” 3.  “Benji” and 4.  “Turner and Hooch” The owner was quick to suspect the bandit in the red Jeep, but when approached, the big eyed, jowly looking fellow feigned innocence The case remains unsolved.
