Don’t worry, guys. I didn’t fall off of the face of the planet. I just fell down a mountain. But my legs were moving so it was technically considered running. I also travelled a bit after the race – including a stint in San Diego and Alta, UT – and am now working full-time. LIFE … Continue reading »
Well, it’s nearly here! Hood to Coast is FRIDAY, and I’ve been mentally preparing myself for the tetris of packing all week. Normally, packing for a relay can be a bit challenging in the sense that you need things accessible, compartmentalized, and easy. I decided to up the difficulty level by adding an extra week … Continue reading »
This whole week, I’ve felt like a fat donkey, clomping around on the lake path. It was a step back week, meaning my mileage was less than normal, and so my long run was only 12 this weekend. In need of a confidence-building run, I pushed the pace a little harder than I’m supposed to. … Continue reading »
Today is my dad’s birthday, and I almost forgot… which is better than that one year I called him and wished him a happy birthday a month early. It’s not that I don’t know his birthday. It’s that I’m an idiot. Although the date is marked on my calendar, my brain has been in a … Continue reading »
“The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been.” — Madeleine L’Engle I’ve been celebrating my birthday for the past week… quite unintentionally.

This weekend has been a lot of fun… something I wasn’t expecting to be able to say. Friday On a whim, I purchased a ticket for the Flogging Molly concert at the Congress Theater. This can only be attributed to my newfound ”damn.. I’m single. I can do that” mentality. Not since high school (when I had … Continue reading »
The past few weeks have been insanely busy and the busy has yet to ebb. Thus, the following entry is a photo montage. 1. Chicago Marathon 2010 – Completed. Awful. Hot. Bad run with stupid mistakes. Finished. Disappointed with performance but proud to have stuck with it. Celebrated with beer and bar food at Butch … Continue reading »
I joined Foursquare today. If you recall this post, you might be wondering why. Peer Pressure. My first checkin was from my couch. Stay tuned for more thrilling entries. I celebrated my Golden Birthday this past week. The official party was last weekend and involved mexican food, tequila shots with a candle, a glittery sash, and Zella’s beer … Continue reading »
Feeling a bit uninspired. Some short thoughts… 1. Today is a popular day to remind people that God rested on the 7th day. God wasn’t a law student. Happy 1/2 birthday, Jesus. 2. I was reminded that there are only 6-ish weeks left in my 1L year. I’ll be excited in 6-ish weeks and 1 day. … Continue reading »
This week is a reality check – I’m coming off of that rite of passage… Spring Break. Sigh. New Guy’s birthday is on St. Patty’s… so we celebrated Saturday and Wednesday. And by celebrated I mean drank a ton of green beer before noon, dropped $650 at Chili’s between 20 of us (don’t act like … Continue reading »
