Dr Kamal Jabbour runs and writes on the hills of Central New York. In December 1998, he received Runner's World Bob Rodale Golden Shoe Award for contributions to running. His RUNNING column appeared in the Syracuse Post-Standard Monday morning from 1997 through 2003.

In the summer of 2004, Dr.J. fulfilled a childhood dream and bought a 1969 Jaguar e-type. Click here for pictures. He spends much of his free time locating parts to retore it.
