My life is an experiment.  Since I ran my first marathon in 1990, I have been fascinated with what athletic challenges my body responds to, what changes in my training can have on the outcome and how I can measure my performance.  Luckily, as technology and science have evolved, so too have my training techniques.  Where I was once elusively a runner, trotting around Central Park in cotton shorts and t-shirts, I am now a cross-trainer, mindful of what I eat and how much I sleep. I have a variety of tools that I use to monitor every step, heartbeat and calorie (well, maybe not every calorie…).  This blog is an effort to track the training approaches I’ve tried, the people I’ve worked with and the results I’ve seen (or not).

I hope you join me on my journey. Thanks for reading.
