Andy

Jon | January 30, 2006

A post on Audrey’s blog about playing soccer reminded me of a story from when I was young.
I was at Boy Scout camp and I was in High School, I think. Maybe 9th grade. One guy in our troup, Andy, was a lot bigger than the rest of us. He was easily [...]

The nurse-in!

Jon | January 29, 2006

Remember that woman that got kicked out of the Ann Arbor YMCA for nursing in the swimming area? Well, they had a nurse-in at the Y this weekend. Apparently it was pretty tame. The Y put out chairs for the women to sit on. The paper said there were signs and [...]

dream

Jon | January 29, 2006

I had a dream last night that I was running in three races in Europe. France, Belgium, Germany. We got on the plane in France, and the next thing I know we were on the street in France, 3 days later and the races were all over. I had no memory of [...]

10 miles on the trail, no rescue

Jon | January 28, 2006

I did my 10 miles today on the trails again. Nobody to rescue this time. There were tons of people out there. I passed my doctor who was out there walking with a friend. She was about 5 miles away from the parking lot so she had been doing ok. [...]

Starbucks and Ghirardelli Dark

Jon | January 27, 2006

I tried the milk chocolate and it [...]

Looks like I’m am not officially behind in my race to Frostbite Falls. Tuesday was incredibly hectic and I ended up skipping my 3 miler so I would make it to Cub Scouts on time. I ran an extra mile tonight, so I’m only down by two. Maybe I can add [...]

9 miles and my rescue

Jon | January 22, 2006

I ran yesterday’s 9 miles on the trails yesterday. I’ve been wanting to get more trail time in because I think its harder on cardio but easier on the legs, if that makes sense.
Anyway, I headed over to the Pinckney State Rec. Area and went out on my old route. I [...]

Rest day!

Jon | January 16, 2006

Today was a rest day, and a company holiday in celebration of Dr. Martin’s birthday. Well, the holiday was for him, the rest day was for me. :)
