We’ve both been considering some races for the fall as we’ve been training through the summer. Here’s the confirmed lineup. Brian is competing in the Lobsterman Triathlon in Freeport Maine, recommended by our Ironman dentist and Triathlon magazine as “the” Olympic distance triathlon to do in New England. To continue reliving my 2000 season, I’m […]

Like many towns, Newburyport has an annual festival.  I grew up anticipating the Three Rivers Festival – watching the parade on TV, attending an event here and there, and often enjoying an elephant ear (NOT to be confused with its smaller and less crispy Yankee cousin, Fried Dough) as an annual treat.  In Newburyport, we […]

I completed my first triathlon today and wanted to get my thoughts down while they are still relatively fresh. The short story is that I had a great time, finishing 23rd out of 53 in my age group (Male 35-39) and 100th out of 450 overall. Official results are here. Advance warning, this is going to […]

Su pointed out that I had not blogged in a while so the task fell to me today.  I think that F words make a lovely theme for my first blog post in nearly two months. Fathers! – First off Happy Fathers Day to both of our dads. Neither of us would be who we are […]

We ran the Covered Bridges Half Marathon this weekend in Woodstock, Vermont.  We stayed at the Lincoln Inn, with a friendly innkeeper and delicious Asian Fusion restaurant (Mangowood) for dinner.  The area was scenic and quaint, made even more enjoyable by our knowledgeable and fun friend Heather, who went to Law School nearby and joined […]

We’ve been making a concerted effort to improve our fitness, motivated in part by our upcoming half-marathon.  Brian decided to register for a tune-up race this weekend, and I grudgingly agreed to run too. We arrived at the race course along with hundreds of obviously serious runners.  (The race results reflected that 90% of the […]

While Brian was working in the yard, I was visting my family.  We planted a White Oak tree at K.C. Geiger Park on Arbor Day in memory of my Grandpa .  It was a beautiful day to spend with Grandma, Mom &Dad, Rich&Sarah and many neighbors and friends in St. Marys.   During my weekend […]

There is a lot of talk about work/life balance.  Students at WILG ask about this topic most when talking with alumni.  One very senior woman at my company told me there is no such thing – it’s all about work-life integration.   Some friends swear by outsourcing all household chores to make room for “quality time” […]

Exercise:  We registered for the Covered Bridges Half Marathon with our friend Heather, and we’re officially halfway there as of today based on training runs.  Brian and I booked 6.8 miles today, our first run over 6.5 miles this season.  It was a bit cloudy but reasonably warm for March.  We’ve been enjoying the hills […]
