The Rio de Janiero International Half Marathon

When people used to ask me what the most beautiful half marathon course was that I had ever run, it was always a difficult question to answer.  I've been fortunate enough to be able to run through some of the most amazing places in the world and narrowing it down to just one has been next to impossible.  Well, now I finally have a good answer for that question: the Rio de Janiero International Half Marathon. For decades, Rio has been known as one of the most beautiful destinations on the planet.  It's been the subject of many travel shows on television and there have even been  songs written about it.  To be able to visit and see it firsthand is an amazing experience in itself, and to be able to run alongside the coast for 21km brings that experience to the next level. Rio is easy to get to because of its popularity as a tourist destination. There are a number of regularly scheduled flights into Rio's Galeão International Airport from cities around the world. If yo

"Do you mind if I take a picture with you?", I asked a Chicago police officer as I approached her wearing nothing but a pair of bike shoes.  She was more than happy to oblige.  Normally, standing outside in the middle of downtown Chicago completely naked would quickly result in a trip to jail and a pretty massive fine.  But not that night.  That's because I had decided to join thousands of other people to participate in the World Naked Bike Ride, which is an annual event that's exactly what it sounds like: large groups of people riding bicycles through the streets of major cities around the world naked.   The purpose of the ride is twofold: to send a message about having a positive body image and also to protest society's reliance on oil.  In addition to cyclists, there are also runners, skateboarders, roller-skaters and people using a variety of other forms of transportation to complete the 14 mile course (the only rule is that your "vehicl

Travel and a Love of Nature

I've always tried to seek out the most interesting places in the world to run. So I couldn't resist signing up for Mayor's  Midnight  Sun Half Marathon in Anchorage, Alaska.  This race is during Summer Solstice weekend when there's almost 24 hours of daylight in Anchorage and the post race party is an all night long street fest with music, food, drinks and dancing and the sun never goes down. I would say that the party goes until the sun comes up, except that it never actually sets. My friend Alfred and I spent a few months planning our trip and when race weekend finally arrived, I flew five hours from Chicago to Seattle and then another four from Seattle to Anchorage. My flight landed sometime in the middle of the night but since the sun was still up, I had no idea what time it was. My sleeping patterns were a bit off for the rest of the trip because of the constant daylight but I didn't mind. Something I found to be pleasantly surprising about Anchora
