Christopher Daily 5K Turkey Trot (2011)
The final race in my series of 10 (now 11 actually) to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was the Christopher Daily Turkey Trot. This is a 5K race in Saratoga Springs NY, near where my parents live and this is the third year my family has participated in the race. It was not … Continue reading
Shelter Island 5K
This one I was talked into doing less than a week before the event. My wife and a couple friends of ours signed up because there is a champagne brunch included with the entry fee. So this is my #10 of 10 events to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Because of recovery … Continue reading

The whole family got together for … Continue reading
Nite Moves – 5K
Every Wednesday during daylight savings, there’s a 1K swim, 5K run or biathlon in downtown Santa Barbara called Night Moves. I resisted running this because it’s $25 the first time ($20 thereafter). For a 5K that’s a bit pricey. They hype it up with the promise of beer, food and a band, but you get … Continue reading
