Do an Ironman.
Almost there 4 weeks ago

I will be at Cozumel doing the Ironman on November 29 of this year. That will complete the first part of this goal, which is getting there. I hope to finish. If not, the next goal will be to finish an Ironman.

I was fairly well advanced on my training, but suffered some setbacks. I hope there is enough left to complete the beast the first time around.

learn to make a great cup of coffee
Very Important! 2 years ago

Hey, coffee is one of the few legal drugs you can have daily. A couple of mugs get me going every day. And an espresso at lunch keeps the day rolling along just fine. The coffee press is probably one of the easiest ways to get a good cup of coffee every time, and it is very easy to measure how strong you want it.

If you go backpacking, the cowboy way of making coffee also makes a great cup of coffee. Just boil water, add plenty of coffee, wait a little bit, and pour the coffee over the edge of the pot. The grinds will stay at the bottom of the pot.

run the New York City marathon (read all 2 entries…)
It is done! 3:52:34 3 years ago

I did the New York Marathon in 3:52:34, improving my PR by more than half an hour. Compared to running the marathon in Panama, New York was easy. It made a big difference running in temperatures that were more than half of what I am used to running in. I was amazed at how little effort it took to run in such cool weather.

It was a phenomenal experience to run among 38,000 other runners. We were only 136 finishers in last year’s Panama Marathon! And there was barely anyone to cheer us while running. In NYC there were two million cheering spectators! There were people everywhere cheering the runners, offering tidbits of food, cookies, towel paper, bananas, plus all the volunteers at the water and feed stations. Just lining the streets there were as adults as there are in my country.

I definitely want to do this again, now looking for 2:30 so I can qualify for Boston!
