Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure October 20, 2002 at BMS in Princeton. Time: 24:53

I completed 175 Miles from Cherry Hill to Ocean City and back doing the City to Shore Multiple Sclerosis Bike Tour September 28th and 29th, 2002. This event raises money for the fight against multiple sclerosis.

The Philadelphia Distance Run My first half-marathon (13.1 mile run) September 15, 2002

I finished a training class today: Postscript Programming for Engineers. John Deubert of Acumen Training taught the one-week class here at Dow Jones and did a great job. He is an excellent instructor.

I did the Belmar 5 Mile Run on July 13, 2002. Thanks to Nora who told me about this race and encouraged me to sign up.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society hosted a 170/50/25 mile bike tour event on  May 18, 2002 to help raise money to fight multiple sclerosis. I completed the 50 mile “Coast the Coast” tour. It was pouring rain most of the morning and fierce Atlantic Ocean winds made it more of a challenge.

I did the 5K Race for the Cure at Bristol Meyers Squibb campus in Lawrenceville, NJ October 28, 2001.

I did another triathlon at Cooper River Park the weekend after the first week of class Sept 1, 2001.

I finished my first triathalon, “Do the Tri, Try the Du” on July 14, 2001 at Cooper River Park, NJ. The course was fast and flat – great for a first triathalon. But that doesn’t mean it was easy. It was only a sprint triathlon, but when I finally got to the run, I had to fight to keep going.

I attended a great 2-day class on Perl, taught by Randal Schwartz, the author of Learning Perl. The training class was hosted by Dow Jones on March 27th and March 28th. I thought I knew perl pretty well, but Randal showed us some amazing things you can do with perl. His training materials alone are worth their weight in gold. Excellent class!
