Today I was that annoying person who is way too happy. I had no out of the ordinary reason to be so happy, the stars just aligned to make it happen. To start I slept in this amazing room at the Union Station Hotel in Nashville. It's an old train station converted into a boutique …

My own DietBet, weight loss and running speed, and my first giveaway!!!
If you remember, in March/April I completed my first DietBet. I am really proud of the changes I was able to make, and even more proud of the resulting changes to my body. Sadly, I joined another one against my better judgement knowing I was only 2 weeks from my half-marathon, and calorie counting was …

I’m not sure I’m that interesting…
Any moment I'm expecting the sky to fall on top of me, wait no, I'm expecting my apartment building to collapse on top of me. Why, you ask? Because life is really good right now. I assume things cannot continue to go this well, its a character flaw. So what's been going so well? On …
It’s May already? Well then, time for some new goals!
I cannot believe April went by so quickly. I feel like it was just March, and before I know it, it will be time to start Christmas shopping. Not cool, time, not cool. Image from Contagious Commentary I kept my April goals minimal, and because of that, was successful! It's nice to be able to …

I expect to be covered in salt (I don't sweat, I ooze salt), just like this guy.Image from silkroadgourmet.com I will be hugging my BFF and running partner. And thanks to her, after chugging water, I will be enjoying a glass …
The Urge to Race
While I am a runner, I am not a racer. I've completed 4 half-marathons and The Color Run. That is it. All but one of my race shirts are packed in a box that is sitting in a storage unit in Connecticut. And the one I have with me is long sleeve (Pittsburgh Half-Marathon 2009). …
We can’t fix any of this. But we can run. And run we will.
I cried tonight. I made it through an afternoon of watching news coverage at my desk, went out for a run, even came home to stretch and eat, and then I cried. I cried at the replay of a teacher from Newtown, who was running today, gave her thoughts on what it would mean to …
