I can’t believe how many turkey trots there were this weekend! There were tons of them throughout Long Island and I’m sure across the country. Each one raised money for a deserving charity and each one had hundreds of people attend. I decided to go to the Turkey Trot in...
A Runner’s Diary: First 10K
When I woke up this morning, I heard the weatherman on the radio say that it was 40 degrees outside. "Wow, that’s cold," I thought. Now, how should I dress for the Turkey Trot Race in Long Beach, NY? I decided to wear a short sleeve dri-fit, a long sleeve...
A Runner’s Diary: Christmas in November
