n the summer, there are a lot of new people that join our running group at 90th street and 5th Avenue. It’s nice to see new faces, to make new friends. In addition, it’s always a bit of a challenge. I say that because no matter what, when there is a rookie, we always want […]
A team from CNN followed me and my guide Nacho as we prepared for, and raced the Panasonic NYC triathlon
Les amis, When I lost my sight, a few years ago, I quickly realized that I had a choice. I could either stay at home, in the dark, in the comfort of my loneliness, or I could go out and do something that always inspired me. What was paradoxical is that every day my vision […]
My alarm rings, it’s 3:30 AM. I get up right away, excited and determined. Down on the street Broadway is surprisingly busy.

Last Thursday I brought Charles to Tailwind Endurance on 23rd Street to ride the NYC Triathlon bike course on a Computrainer! We had gone there before and it wasn’t until then that we realized how much bike technology has evolved. Integrated shift/brake levers are indeed a recent invention! With that sorted out Charles embarked on […]
Being French, and married to a Francophile, I wanted to go to France this summer, so here I am, in the middle of June, in my beloved Brittany. When I last came here a year ago, my vision was much better than it is now. I have to guess, to remember, it is a little […]

Only a fool would run through all 5 boroughs of New York City and today there are more than 50.000 ‘fools’ each year! […]
