How did you meet [insert friend’s name here]?
I met Scott while running. I met Heather on Twitter while we were both participating in National Novel Writing Month. I met Anil at a pool party. I met Beth through reading her blog and her reading mine. I met Michael when he quizzed Twitter about the viability of platonic make-out parties. I met Megan at a…

You don’t dress for the start line.
I took a little plane ride to Phoenix yesterday to help strip some brick for a friend’s remodeling project. And as I was packing, I realized I had a bit of a clothing dilemma. The temperatures in Phoenix are still reaching toward the 80s. Temperatures in Charlotte are dipping to new lows – as low as 12…

Too much of a good thing (and why runners are annoying)
Lately there has been some talk amoung my running friends and my non-running friends about how running is the new “craze”. Is it the new aerobics videos from the 80s?

The next best thing
I won’t be running in this year’s Thunder Road Marathon. I’d tentatively planned on running it, depending on how Marine Corps Marathon went, and truthfully I do think I could get to the finish line just fine. But I weighed the financial cost of signing up with my readiness level – and truthfully, I don’t…

Is it possible to be in love with a building?
Ok, I’m going to keep this post short. I’ll tell you why: Because I’m on my last day of my free trial membership to Urban Active Fitness in Ballantyne. And I want to go spend as much time as there today as I possibly can. I first heard about this gym from Scott, who told…

Today, a mystery
So, I’ve been MIA lately. Shame on me! I have been out of town a lot – I probably spent three days at home last month. In the past month, have been in DC, Phoenix, Vegas and Florida. All this out of town has made it impossible to sit down in front of the computer! So,…

It’s all about what you’re wearing. Oh, and penis jokes = still funny.
Race number, check. —— T-shirt, check. Complain about T-shirt not being girly enough, check. —- Obtain sufficiently girly race gear, check. —- Laugh like a teenager at part of the race course, check.
