If you recall, I had a two month hiatus from running. With a March 15th half scheduled in Asheville, I have been silently cursing both last year’s injury and the current weather. Last week I ran five miles. Good news is that was five miles outside. More good news, it was at a fairly reasonable… Continue reading Training Update
I live in Upstate NY. Most people would say there is little, if anything, to do around here but they are wrong. This year I have been doing some freelancing for a local client, as opposed to my many out of the area clients. In doing so, I have been exposed to many different events… Continue reading What to do in Winter?
Winter weather has finally hit the area I live in. By last year, the school was running out of snow days and the number of two hour delays that had occurred were plentiful. Districts in my area were wondering what they were going to do with February, which is routinely a worse month than January.… Continue reading Weather and Health
I have to say that the winters now are not as harsh as I recall from my childhood growing up in upstate NY. We do not get as much snow nor as much cold – as I am looking for my gloves to put on as it is so cold that typing is making my… Continue reading Snow & Winter in Upstate New York

Upstate New York is finally paying for the lovely October – okay, so there was one small snow storm, beautiful November and almost pristine December weather that was had. It is January, a new year, a new decade and evidently a new weather trend – cold. What is one to expect when living in Upstate… Continue reading Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Winter has finally started to rear what some may call its ugly head in upstate New York. Yes, we had a small taste in October but that was followed by mild weather so did not stay with us long at all. Today, I am hearing and seeing winter, along with feeling it in the cold… Continue reading Winter
As the days are waning and the sunlight is less, I look for light. That is what happens to those of us in the northern parts of the country. The days become dark and dingy. There may be sun during the day but it is fleeting. The good news is that light is a major… Continue reading Light
As I have said many times, I swear I am getting a new digital camera soon. My apologies in advance for the image quality. Winter has paid a brief visit to where I live in upstate NY. As I spent last weekend in the Buffalo-Niagara region of the state, I was happy to get out… Continue reading Winter Pays a Visit
