When my alarm went off this morning, it was pouring outside. So, I didn’t get up and run. I only have 5 miles scheduled for today, so hopefully I will be able to sneak them in this evening. It looks like I’m going to have to have to get wet at some point this week, …

The official stats are in, and apparently we received nearly 4 inches of rain in the City, between Friday and Saturday. 4.7 inches is the monthly average amount of rainfall for NYC for the month of March. Winds were gusting to 60 MPH, and they actually canceled the Staten Island Ferry service, on Saturday evening …

In spite of high hopes coming into the weekend, it turned out to be kind of a bust. Reagan and I weren’t feeling super well on Saturday morning, so we scrapped the plan to pick up Piper’s stuff in Jersey, and instead, headed straight to the hospital. By Saturday evening it was pretty apparent that …

I came across this Lo-Bo hip hop video earlier this year on Animal NY. I thought it was appropriate to share today, being that there are plenty of lightning bolts flying in the NYC area. There are some pretty awesome super powers going on in the video. I wonder if they have tried to recruit …

I know that I have complained about this before, but dude, it never ceases to blow my mind/annoy the ever-living crap out of me. It is bad enough trying to maneuver the sidewalks in the rain when everyone is wielding their umbrellas like weapons, so why continue to have them open while walking on covered …

True to the adage, April arrived with showers. I set my alarm with enough time to go for a run, this morning before work. But when I got up and saw what it looked like outside, I quickly lost all motivation to do anything but get some more sleep. As it turns out, I ended …
