Gear geeking
Okay, so I won’t tell you today about how I dropped my pants this past weekend – still waiting for Scott to send the pictures to accompany that story … — In the interim I’ll talk about being a running gear geek. If you’re not a runner, I apologize in advance but if you are a…

On meeting new friends on the street corner, why hills suck and why beer is good
So I decided to go practice run the Charlotte Racefest half marathon (or the South Park half marathon, as I’ve been calling it) route on Friday. Maybe I should mention I signed up for the race on Wednesday night. Before Friday. That needs to be clarified for this reason: Ohmigosh anyone who signs up for…

“Do you have any drugs?”
Who needs drugs? When you can go out for an early-morning stroll and see this: And when you get to the top you’re surrounded by rolling hills like this: — We hit the Appalachian Trail this past weekend for some exercise and some R&R. A few in the group are doing a South Beyond 6000…

Discouraged

Goth makeup, bar hopping, and fishnets with boots
Charlotte vs. Athens As you may or may not know, I spend a lot of my free time visiting Athens, Ga. And who wouldn’t? It’s such an awesome place to be. Last night I was chatting with a guy at a bar in Athens and he was telling me about his favorite Charlotte places. He…

Running update
Okay, I can’t hold off on talking about running any longer. If you’re not into working out, feel free to skip this one. But it’s been a while since I’ve given an update, so here goes: I’ve been lazy this winter. Not as lazy as I was before I started “really” running, but lazier than…

Why I blog about running so much
Three reasons: 1. Amy: 2. Whitney: 3. Heather: I have gotten some criticism about writing too much about exercising, and I was told one of my posts even resembled an REI catalog (which it so did.) So I have been curbing the workout talk, but when I read the above posts, I am so full…
