This week I dive into the life lessons I have learned thanks to the greatest teacher I've ever had, the Adirondack Mountains.
The mountains will teach you a lot about yourself and real life if you let them…
1. No one can get you to the summit. It’s up to you to do the work.
2. One foot in front of the other IS the formula. This will never change. Too tired to get back down? Too bad. You still have to walk back whether you want to or n...

Malcolm made the final known contribution to this friendly competition - climbing 12 high peaks, 5 low peaks and ascending 25,552 vertical f...

Fifteen hours before the race kicked off, I spontaneously signed up to run the Lake Placid Half-Marathon, a 13.1 mile trek around Lake Placid.
