Less than two weeks away…

October 24, 2007

And we are falling apart! Earlier this week while moving something, Alex sprained his ankle. It seems to be getting slightly better, but with less than two weeks before he has to run 26.2 miles, he really needs to be fully recovered. He’s been religiously practicing R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate) and started to add [...]

June 19, 2007

I actually don’t have much to add about the Need for Speed race aside that it was awesome fun. Getting up at 4:15 isn’t sweet, but hanging out with a group of old and new friends was definitely great times. Here Alex hands off the rfid “baton” bracelet to me. I love how serious he [...]

I picked up some of these Jelly Belly Sport Beans last week at our local running store, while waiting for Alex to ask the sales associates about his knees (because he trusts them more than his doctor apparently).

Spring Productive Weekend

April 2, 2007

Team Kane Street had a busy and productive weekend, which is good because the next month is booked up with events every weekend. Friday we had some drinks at Les Deux Gamins, dinner at Mary’s Fish Camp, which I just love, and more drinks at the Vol De Nuit. After, we hopped on the A [...]

February 14, 2007

Karen got into the NYC marathon last year but chose to defer as there was too much going on with the wedding. That means she’ll be running through your borough just like Lance come this November. In related news, today I submitted my application for this year’s lottery so that Team Kane Street can represent [...]
