dan cummings: MADD Dash - One for the Record Book! - 11/08/09 10:46 AM

During the past few days I have made a couple of trips to Yale-New Haven Hospital due to the birth of my first Grandchild. Whenever I stroll through a hospital I can't help but glance around as my mind ponders all the life and death decisions made on a daily basis.

During the wee hours I ran into the survey results for the Top 10 Motivational Songs for Runners. These days instead of spending hours blogging about Real Estate I have been devoting much of my time to the enjoyment of music on Blip.FM which is like Twitter with music.

My Miami Marathon adventure started off on the wrong foot and never really eased into the right pace. While in Florida they experienced the coldest weather they'd had in years and freeze warning were posted most nights. At the end of the week when I was hoping for cool weather the … (16 comments)

With all the runners here on ActiveRain no one decided to take a winter escape for a Mingle in Miami so we opted for a week of quaint visits with selected agents. My wife wrote about our entry into the Frozen Tundra of Florida and the folks we met in the … (10 comments)

Today I ran into a series written by an up & coming runner and a downhill racer by the name of Beth Forbes but the Re-Blog feature didn’t allow me to alter the title so I will do it my way and add the occupation of Realtor. The Real Estate Agent … (5 comments)

Some people may consider me nuts but I am actually reflecting on the psychology of finishing a marathon. Practically every Saturday this year I have spent a few hours with runners that joined the Team in Training.

dan cummings: The Running Realtor's Home Sales Report - September 2008 - 10/06/08 07:34 PM
The month of September was filled with gloom and doom from government officials who foolishly decided pumping 700 billion into Wall Street was the solution. The stock market continues to slide downward and big banks are bickering about who gets to take over the fallen financial institutions. With all that bull about … (6 comments)

The weather this morning was great for the Philadelphia Distance Run as a record number of participants made their way to the starting corrals for the 13.1 mile event.
With over 13,000 finishers the course was quite congested moving through the downtown city streets. Even after 8.5 miles the runners were … (21 comments)

dan cummings: Did I fall for a SCAM? - 08/13/08 08:59 PM
Typically I consider myself pretty conservative and tend to use extra caution while in unfamiliar territory. While traveling I'm always keeping a watchful eye in congested areas like airports or train stations and keenly aware of details that seem out of place. In the age of Internet SPAM offering all kinds of SCAMS I have learned … (39 comments)

The summer real estate market along the Connecticut Shoreline is showing mixed results this year. In the town of Branford & Madison where price declines were a little steeper than surrounding towns the sales volume was about the same or slightly above last year.
