I’m writing this while walking from the Pattison subway stop to the Ingram Philadelphia office. It takes 12-15 minutes to complete this walk and it’s not easy to type on the iPhone while doing so.

August 27th, 2008 · Comments

The stats for my first hundred with Nike+:

Morning run - Nike+ and GPS track… And honeysuckle
June 23rd, 2008 · Comments
view in Google Earth
This morning’s run was notable. Honeysuckle and other sweet flowers filled the air next to the Schuykill River… Far better than the expected dead fish, exhaust, and port-a-potties.

May 3rd, 2008 · Comments
After a few months of preparing for the Broad Street 10-miler, it’s now the night before and pre-race excitement is setting in. iofy’s new office in the Navy Yard of Philadelphia is a block away from the finish line, so this will be a pretty nice way to finish a race. There are showers and [...]
