  • A Hebrew Study Plan

    While there have been some ups and downs in my fitness training recently, I think all in all things are going well.  My running is pain free, the climbing is getting better, and I’m losing weight.  All good news.  Hebrew study however has been disastrous.  I go on short binges where I am diligent, and…

  • 2000 miles in Prospect Park

    As I ease back into regular running, I’ve been trying to not obsess over the numbers.  Sure I record the time and distance of my runs, but I haven’t really been digging into the numbers like I do when I am running seriously.  So, today, when I was bored and checking my stats on runningahead…
