A Trick to Run With Your Dog

I try to do things with the family as often as I can. I also try to get the dog out there so he can exercise too. Recently I took my son and the pooch for a run and figured out a way to keep everyone together. The trick is simple, put the running leashContinue reading “A Trick to Run With Your Dog”

A New Running Partner

The last week has been a blur. A couple of birthdays, some big goals, and a new addition to the clan. We brought home a new puppy! The little guy has been adjusting nicely into a routine, and is really loved by everyone who meets him.

A Trail Run and a Swim

As I continue in my quest to explore Lake Placid and the immediate areas around the village, I stumbled upon a great new trail system and swim location. This is especially timely given the current conditions at the Mirror Lake Beach (more on that later). The trail system is called Brewster Peninsula Trails and theContinue reading “A Trail Run and a Swim”

New Sneaks

On my way up to Lake Placid, I knew I was in need of some new running shoes. I am a Asics Gel Kayano fella, but was in the market for something a bit more sturdy for trail running. Although the Asics do fine, I have had a few close calls with twisted ankles andContinue reading “New Sneaks”
