Jersey: The Diner, the Shore, the Garden State Parkway

On day 4, we were up early again for some exercise. After the requisite coffee, I headed out for a 35 minute run on the boardwalk. I felt great! I really picked up the pace at the end and finished strong. After my run, I walked for about 20 minutes to cool down.

Once I returned [...]

Cape May, Rehoboth Beach, & Dogfish Head

Day 3 started with some early morning coffee on the front porch.

Then Nate and I ventured to the nearby gym for an a.m. workout. We procured day passes, shot up some steriods, and travelled back in time to 1985. Seriously people, this gym was hilarious. Posters of Arnold Schwarzanegger covered the walls, 80’s music pumped [...]

Last week, Nate and I took a trip to the Jersey shore. We really lucked out – zero traffic and the weather was absolutely beach-perfect! Now I’m back to the [...]

Eat Like a Triathlete

Hello readers! I have not abandoned you! I am back from the beach, but have what I think is an inner ear infection. Dizziness, shakiness, general malaise, ugh. However, I’ve slept 25 of the last 36 hours and I ate cake for breakfast. Both good things, yes? Please bear with me over the next week [...]
