I want to blaze my own trail and live in a place that forces me to reach out and meet new people. I was thinking about moving to Shanghai for a few days to gain a bit more cultural experience of the world. 5.Do you live alone or with your family? I'm a student at the moment...
Certainly I’ve had lots of friends that had pain or illness that did not allow them to continue training, and I really felt for them, and felt quite lucky in that sense that I could continue doing what I wanted to do. I was able to run and swim up until the days I delivered with...
I had gotten into the mindset that it wasn’t really worth training for less than an hour. This is virtually impossible with children at times, so I realized that a hard 20 minute run gets you strong. I also tried to just move where ever...
Swimming is one of the most popular family activities at the park.SeeSwim.com, which reports on regional swimming accessibility, says this: "This state park may be one of the most interesting swimming places in New York. The turquoise waters cover a freshwater reef, which is exceedingly rare....
While it’s tempting to crawl under a blanket with a cup of cocoa and a book of poetry, it’s exhilarating to don a pair of skis or swim in an outdoor, heated pool as snowflakes fall. Continuing a series started last year, we asked five Vermonters to share their favorite wint...

Tristan da Cunha. The Mississippi Delta. Stromboli. The old houses of Charlottenburg. Albert Camus. The morning light. The child’s eyes. The swim in the waterfall. The spots of the first drops of rain. The sun. The bread and wine. Hopping. Easter. The veins of leaves. The blowing gra...
After another morning pool swim on an overcast day (a far too common occurrence on this trip), the gang sallied forth in search of what else….more food! So, we proceeded to head to The Koop Roaster Cafe, a brunch/coffee joint about a 10 minute walk from our villa. Avocado toast an...
first trip to Maine back in 1997 and our walk along the carriage trails in Acadia National Park. Perhaps I can easily recreate the scene in my mind because I’ve scanned in some photos from that trip. When I close my eyes, I can see the broad trail and our three young children . ....
