A few years ago, I was your typical office-worker: stressed out, uneven energy, overweight, and inconsistent complexion. Now I'm just your typical 28-year old urban hunter-gatherer on a quest to be healthy, and having a few adventures along the way. See my full bio.
Thanks to some philanthropic generosity, loyal readers, a few free tickets are available for a talk next week by Born to Run author Christopher McDougall. The event is a benefit for Buildon, a non-profit that empowers primarily urban U.S. high school students through in-class and intensive after-school programs.
Enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres as Chris signs books and answers questions about his experiences researching and writing Born to Run and what he has learned about inspiration and finding happiness.
buildOn Founder & CEO Jim Ziolkowski will be on hand to share the story of how buildOn is changing lives locally and globally, followed by a touching testimony from a student member of buildOn's after-school program.
When: Wednesday, February 9, 2011 from 6pm-8pm
Where: The Core Club - 66 E 55th St. - New York, NY
Tickets: $100 per person (100 tickets available)
All proceeds benefit buildOn
Tickets are $100. But if you move fast, you can score one for free. The offer ends Friday, Feb 4. To request a free ticket, email Jasbeena Layman at jasbeena@optonline.net.
Of course, you can also donate to an excellent cause and buy your own ticket.

I wished I lived in NYC
I wished I lived in NYC right now. You are killing me John - I have one more chapter left to read in Born to Run and in about 20 minutes I will start the chapter and sadly finish it later. I now can not wait till Spring is here as I will be running daily in my VFF's.
