Over the weekend, we came upon this guy who told us he had roller skied from Hopkinton to the Boston Marathon finish line.

When he noticed Penny taking his photo, he asked if she could take one with his iPhone. She did and he gave it his thumbs up. Hope he had a ride home after his workout.

Update 11.26.13: The man in the photo is Ari Ofsevit . He left a comment here and you can learn more about his workout over on Universal Hub where he was kind enough to respond to all the questions and comments UH readers posted.

    Ride home? I skied back to Cambridge. (I took the train out to Southborough in the morning. Only skied about 60k.)

    Does Ari ski in the Arnold Arboretum too? I have seen someone training there on skis.

    I’ll send your question on to him in case he doesn’t see it here.

    I asked Ari over on Twitter and he replied:
    “@BostonZest not much. Pavement is iffy in places. And far-ish from my house.”
