Four Mile Beach Run

It was a perfect day on the Jersey Shore. Sunny, blue skies, temperatures near 50 degrees and very little wind. I took advantage of the good weather and participated in the much heralded Long Branch Four Mile Beach run.

My finishing time was embarrassingly slow. Around 40 minutes. The entire course was run on the beautiful, white, sandy beaches of Long Branch. What I thought would be an easy run turned out to be quite a vigorous workout.

After the race, all runners were rewarded with one free beer at McLoone's Pier House.

2011 Leap in the Lake

We had to use our older camera for this video, so please forgive the quality, you need to look very closely for me in the water, but I'm there getting out. The hardest part was standing on the ice in my bare feet....

They raised 25K for special needs kids to go to summer camp, and the after party was excellent! How can you beat a full buffet and $1.75 drafts of Sam Adams! Veronica and I also won a few prizes at the raffle tables as well, a good day !

Moving from Trot to Canter

Pushed it up to 6.0 mph on the treadmill for 10 minutes today... but still not exactly comfortable.

Nevertheless, I'll see you guys Thursday night for 3 miles or more.
