Don’t believe I’ve been running as far as I say I have? Me neither! Here’s proof:
This map is our running route that we did last Saturday for Team in Training. It was 4.15 miles.

Despite the fact that I really just like to run, I’m also doing Team in Training for a very personal reason: for my hero, my grandfather. When I was nine years old, my grampa was diagnosed with Myelofibrosis which is a disease (myeloproliferative) in which scar-like tissue forms in the marrow as a result of [...]
Yesterday I finally committed to running a full marathon at the Mayor’s Marathon in Anchorage Alaska with Team in Training on June 20, 2009! I’ve been wanting to do Team in Training since 2001 but never really followed through. How amazing is it that with TNT you can kill three birds with one stone? I [...]
I had 35k American Airline frequent flyer miles burning a hole in my pocket (really, they were going to expire December 31) so I started looking around for a way to use them. I knew I wanted to go somewhere out of the country, but that few of miles won’t get you too far; they’re [...]

Yahoo has a feature article for their People of the Web series about world traveler Matt Harding who is famous for dancing around the world. Here’s one of his videos from his site. How cute is he?
All backpackers are probably familiar with Lonely Planet and the ones that are really obsessive, like me, know who Tony and Maureen Wheeler are. They are the travelers-turned-publishers turned publishers-who-travel and creators of Lonely Planet Guidebooks.
The Seattle Times recently had an interview with the couple about their new book, Unlikely Destinations: The Lonely Planet [...]

I found another yachtie out there on the web. Niall’s site, The Life of a Private Chef has a lot of video footage of St. Martin, Antigua and other some places in the Med. Looks like he’s retired from yachting like me, but you can still follow his adventures in the archives!
