NYC Marathon done been run!

November 21, 2007

I wanted Alex to write the marathon post since it was his first marathon and I thought he would give you a fun perspective, but he’s been so swamped at work lately, it doesn’t seem like that’ll happen anytime soon.

Less than two weeks away…

October 24, 2007

Training + Six-Eight Black Men

July 31, 2007
