Wanted: Hush puppies, macaroni and cheese. Ate: asphalt
Ok, so I’ve been going on about this for about a week now on Twitter and Facebook, but I wanted to tell you all exactly what happened to me a week and a half ago. It was a typical Friday night. At least, that’s what I thought as I tore apart my closet trying to…

Charlotte through another’s eyes
Anil is the biggest jetsetter I know. And I totally admire and envy him for it. And when he visited Charlotte for the first time he fell in love with it. “I can’t believe it’s so green!” he kept saying. And it really opened my eyes to all the things that are beautiful about the…

‘I hear 40 is overrated, anyway’
I choked back tears when I read those words yesterday. Scott texted me to tell me Elizabeth’s cancer news had not come back good. I checked her Facebook page immediately and part of her status alluded to the fact that she may never see the next decade. Lest we dwell too much on the bad, though, Elizabeth…

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…

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? And in a way, how is that negative? The running fever can spread like wildfire. I love motivating people and encouraging everyone. And I truly…

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,…

Work hard, play hard, and inspire lots of people in the process
This post is about a week too late – but I’ve been meaning to publish it for a while! My friend Scott started his journey long before I met him. But that doesn’t make him any less inspiring to me. Ironically (or not so ironically, probably), I met Scott while running. We were running the…

All is right with the world if only I could sweat in my headphones
Here’s how I spent my time last week: 53 miles. All on my feet. So, I don’t have much to talk about other than running! (That screen shot is from Daily Mile; come friend me over there if you haven’t already.) So, that said, here are a few thoughts about running: = Does anyone have a…

How to stalk your friends
So, I spent the past week at the beach with my in-laws, so that’s my excuse for why I haven’t been blogging lately. Yes, there was wifi at the beach and yes, I had my laptop. It just couldn’t compete with the ocean and the sand and the breeze … We stayed at Camp Lejeune,…
