Sit-ups, 8es dancing, writing novels and ad design
A hodgepodge of thoughts today: ———— I’ll share a couple of sites I came across this week (mostly through social networking!): D&AD Creative Search: I saw this one mentioned by several people on Twitter this week. Go ahead, type something in. I typed “flowers” and then I typed “Melissa Oyler” … it’s fun! One hundred…

Now here’s some energy
Busy working today, but had to share this awesome running music I found after seeing it mentioned on a Daily Mile thread. I like it because: = it’s fast and will get me moving = I recognize the songs (meaning I won’t tune out) You can pay whatever you want for the music. I paid…

What I’ve been doing (since I’ve not been blogging)
I wondered why I spent the first part of the week sleeping (and not blogging) but when I look back on my weekend I really should not wonder at all. I’m not 21 anymore, after all … Thursday night/Friday morning Chris came to town on Thursday evening and he and Jeff and I went for a late dinner…

More things I know or think I know about running
I had to take a breather from yesterday’s post. I mean, you want to spend your day reading about running or actually have time to go out and do it? So here I am today with more “Things a person that doesn’t know much officially has learned about running”: Water I used to think the rule was:…
