April Race Report – Double the Fun
My trip to Dublin was bookended by two April races, The Race That’s Good for Life 5k and the Shamrock Shuffle 8k. The 5k was in my town so I couldn’t pass it up. It’s been a few years since I have participated in it. I recall the year I ran it when my daughter…
March Race Report
You know when you see someone running down the street, seemingly effortlessly? Well that is not me. I don’t have a runner’s body or a natural stride that looks so effortless. In fact, to onlookers I probably look more pained then I actually am when I running. But I do have desire and determination to…
Paparazzi
Last summer I spotted Scottie Pippen eating lunch. I had assumed he’d out grown his reputation of No Tippen Pippen. But this recent story suggest he hasn’t. Check out the photo they used!

The episode was all about snack mix and they mentioned my Halloween snack mix that I Tweeted them about awhile back. The Sporkful, “It’s not…
11 in ’11
Time again that everyone is making resolutions for the new year. I did OK on my goals set last year. This year though I wanted specific action items to tackle. Some big, some small, some easy, some hard, some a bit more vague then the others, but they all work towards a better me. Here…
Gifts of Plenty
Who better to buy me the perfect gift than myself, I know exactly what I want. Case in point, the four year-old announced he is buying me a book about Thanksgiving for my birthday. He then asked me to forget he said it so it would be a surprise. I did a bit of shopping…
