I’m first going to go through what I wanted to do and designate each as either: nailed it, missed [...]

It has been an exceptionally hectic time at work so I’m falling behind more than I ever have with the blog + photos. Here’s a quick run through the past few weeks. Once things calm down a bit, we’ll get together a post on our experience running the Marathon (we finished in 4 hours and [...]

I also want to thank this guy, who we saw in Bay Ridge right when we got off the Verrazano, in Greenpoint (above) and in Central Park (below) with about 2 miles to go.

And we are falling apart!
Earlier this week while moving something, Alex sprained his ankle.
