More video to come later in the week, but thought you might like to see the proof as I crossed the finish line in Wellesley MA after day 2. The folks in front of me are the "Team 9" members who picked me up for the last leg of the ...

One of the many mantras from this weekend's Pan-Mass Challenge was "it's not a race." Good idea, when you are going between154 & 192 miles over 2 days.
What's more important- the goal, or getting there first?Mobile post sent by DougH using Utterz. Replies. mp3

I was amused to see a brief shot of me sitting on my fat rear-end at the Pan-Mass Challenge Wellesley finish line yesterday. Great ride, with lots of support along the way. I'll do a longer post later in the week, but enjoy this for now, and look for me ...

Most interesting thing today was seemingly small. During an exercise in which we each covered a sheet with post-its, ...

I got one last training ride in today before this weekend's Pan-Mass Challenge. 160 miles? No problem! I will be sure to send Utterz and Twitter dispatches throughout the ride (it's not a race!).
While fundraising (for the Jimmy Fund, a children's cancer charity) continues until October, I would love to ...

Spending a few days this week attending a Dale Carnegie leadership training seminar for work. This is a program the SHIFT management generally sends junior managers and managers-to-be to, but for a number of reasons I am attending this time around.

Ever notice that if you stop something for a while, you do it even better when you pick it up? Sometimes you need a fresh perspective- and a little rest, whether you are brainstroming creative ideas, writing a document, or looking for your keys.
