September 29, 2016 This morning I ran … poorly… through Central Park. One wouldn’t think it possible to get lost in a loop through a park in the middle of the city… but I’m no ordinary man. I do the inconceivable and the unbelievable six ways before breakfast. There was a handy map online of […]
September 21, 2016 – Ponta Delgado, Azores, Portugal. After three sea days, we steamed into the middle of nowhere. This famed waystation of yore, a supply point in the seemingly endless big blue, is a charming port island today. It’s volcanic ash roads run along custom designed pebble sidewalks. But for us it truly was […]
September 18, 2016 – First Sea Day The unsanctioned Sea Legs Marathon Seventy-nine loops. That’s how many times I ran round and round deck 4 on the Disney Magic to hit 26.2 miles. I decided to do it on the very first sea day as I imagined the longer I put it off the less […]
Cruiser’s Log – Supplemental A few stray shots and thoughts from several days at sea: 9/17 – Barcelona – Boarding Open House in the Kids Clubs meant I could add some Jar Jar color to the cruise. Mr Potato Head lends me his ear… for a little while *** 9/18 – Day at Sea […]
Apparently, there were 6000 of us or so across the three events this morning at Dodgers Stadium. It started with a 10k at 7 AM, then a 5k at 9 AM, and then a kids fun run at 10. I had signed up for the double header of the 10k and 5k. It was something […]
October 1, 2016 Much as seeing a touring production versus catching the original Broadway cast on the Great White Way, the St George Marathon is a good experience that pales really only when one considers the Little Grand Canyon Marathon I ran a few weeks back. Don’t get me wrong, St George is lovely and […]
The DCL Westbound Transatlantic Cruise At least once a year I try and take mom on an adventure. I’ve done pretty well this year, with a number of trips around the globe as I’ve been running from place to place on my marathon hamster wheel. But this year we also did our traditional voyage on […]
Yesterday at 10:07 AM Eastern Standard Time (or 4:07 PM here in Barcelona), I registered for Boston. It was a thrilling moment for me, even though it was just filling out an online form… something I do on a fairly regular basis if I’m being honest. I buy way too many t-shirts… which is odd […]
Sigh… looking at options with tour groups then.
Once again I sit in an airport gate lounge, awaiting a flight. And once again, I’m sitting waiting to hear back from a variety of people. It’s as if instead of sending emails I’m stuffing a scrawled message in a bottle and tossing it into the sea, hoping against hope that someone finds it and […]
