My friend Karen tweeted at me this morning that she was posting pics of my old running haunts.  In response, I felt motivated to head out on the first snowfall on the winter to get her some pics of my new morning running loop. For reference, this was my old running route: Pretty nice, huh? [...]

This week has been an anomoly; Mike has been traveling, Sammy is back with her mom, so it’s just been me and the pup. As I mentioned in an earlier post, when it’s just me and the pup mornings start early; we’ve been at our open space park every day this week by 6am, pre-dawn, [...]

I’m kind of phoning it in today because: a) it’s almost Friday, b) I just gave blood and am all woooo and, c) my dog is doing this new thing where he thinks we’re going running at 4am.  We are not, in fact, going running at 4am, but the dude is an optimist and figures, you know, [...]
