Okay, so not just any coconut water.  I want to tell you a bit about Vita Coco Coconut Water.  You are probably thinking I have lost my marbles.  I have to tell you when I first read about coconut water on Runner Dude’s blog, I hesitated.  I don’t like coconut.  I don’t like it shredded [...]

I admit it.  I am a sports fanatic.  The unfortunate truth is I do not necessarily like the average sports that most Americans spend hours watching.  I do like college football and admit to watching a pro game here and there but I could really care less. On the other hand, I will plan my [...]

What do you do when a friend is hurting But won’t let you console her? What do you do when a friend is down But won’t let you help him smile? What do you do when a friend is hungry But won’t let you feed him? What do you do when a friend is thirsty [...]

I want to take this opportunity to thank the thousands of volunteers that helped make the 33rd running of the Boilermaker 15K such a success.  Those who were manning water stations – the most I have ever seen in a race – probably heard a thank you here and there as runners went by.  Those [...]

Is There a Marathon in My Future?

Posted in Fitness, Just my Thoughts, tagged , , , on 13 July 2010 | 8 Comments »

I was sitting having dinner with a good friend on Thursday evening.  Dinner was delicious – couscous, green pepper, onion, tilapia all together with a citrus vinaigrette.  We each had a glass of cold chardonnay.  It had been a long, hot day and it was nice to have adult conversation with dinner. My friend, in the [...]

Boilermaker 15K – Race Recap

Posted in Fitness, Just my Thoughts, tagged , , , , , on 12 July 2010 | 13 Comments »

I am not even sure I can find the words to describe the race yesterday.  I traveled with friends to Utica for the Boilermaker 15K.  Yesterday’s 33rd running of the race held its largest field ever and the largest number of finishers.  This makes it the largest 15K road race in the United States, although [...]

Nerves

Yup!  I have them at the moment.  It is Wednesday morning – though you all won’t see this until Saturday by which time I should have a full blown case  of nerves. Back near the end of February and beginning of March, I started getting nervous.  I had made this huge goal – a race [...]

So I posted some photos from a Happy Hour at Chapter House in Ithaca a couple weeks ago.  Now summer has hit in earnest here in the Northeast, I wanted sunshine and outside for happy hour.  Did I find it?  You bet!  Didn’t even really have to go looking as I knew where I was [...]

Mid-Year Review

Posted in Fitness, Just my Thoughts, tagged , , , , on 8 July 2010 | 4 Comments »

Yes, the midpoint of the year has come and gone and I didn’t review my goals, my aspirations.  To be totally honest, the only public aspiration I have is to run a race every month this year.  The original goal – announced in a guest post at Motherese –  was to do so for every [...]

So many things go into the quality of life we all enjoy in our various communities.  The community itself looks to enhance the quality of life for its residents in attempts to keep people interested in living in the community.
