The Adventures of a Digital Sensei
I spent a wonderful weekend in Maine with my wife to support her Marathon fixation. She is trying to qualify for the Boston and New York Marathons again. She ran her second fastest marathon ever with a time of 3:23:05. She even won an award for finishing 1st in her division!
