It’s not enough to run …
But I have to tell people about it. My reason is because if I slack off, I want people to call me on it! And it makes me want to run just so I can have something to log. I’ve been tracking my runs at Map My Run for about a year now. They have…

When in Philly …
I told Justin I had to tell him this story after he spent the weekend in Philly recently: If you visit Philadelphia, of course you have to get a Philly cheese steak. Unless of course, you are like me and you don’t like cheese steak. But seriously, it’s an experience. Bear with me on the…

Help me be clever
Kevin, Jenny, Chuck and I are talking about running the 2010 Cooper River Bridge Run together. This is so special to me as I have fond memories of my first and only bridge run, with Jenny, in 2008. (Want to see how far Kevin has come? Check out his comment on that post!) I’m going…

On social graces
I was talking to Jenny yesterday and we were discussing some social faux pas, such as staring at someone’s computer screen while they are working, or watching someone nursing a baby a little too closely … Truthfully, I think many of these sorts of things happen when people are zoning out, not paying attention.

The strength to keep going
This was not my race to run, and when I approached the team van near the end of it and saw the physical pain written all over their faces – I was both relieved and jealous I hadn’t been a part of it. This race falls into the category of “insane.” When I asked veteran…

Where I was
Last year, I was in New York City and I heard the names being read, first on the TV in my hotel room. Later I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan, and they were still reading. So many names. It was so quiet in that corner of the city, that section where the towers…

Cleaning house is a messy job
I have been cleaning my house for days, but you wouldn’t know it to look at it. There are piles of things everywhere. But I promise, I have been working hard! I have never been a hoarder, never been someone to hold onto “stuff.” Everything has its place in my house. If there is not…

modern. original. design.
Had the opportunity to update the ad for Melissa Oyler Designs for the September edition of Natural Awakenings Magazine (which I also do layout/design for). Check it out – what do you think?

It all started with a fall weekend in the mountains …
So it seems only fitting that we would get married on a fall weekend in the mountains as well. 10 years, in pictures. Almost 10 years ago I met Jeff at his mother’s house on Cedar Mountain on Thanksgiving weekend. I attended as a guest of Colleen’s (his sister, my college roommate) and I had…

Just another Monday night at the strip club …
My reasons for never having been to a strip club never had anything to do with upstanding morals or judgments or values. Nope. The reason I’d never been to a strip club is it seems like every time it came up as a possibility – someone in my group (always a female) would shoot down…
