Ok, the first week at the new job has been really hectic. SO MUCH to learn! I don’t like to talk about where I work because in this case it will be easy place it. Must not blog about work. But…
Let me say that its a manufacturing job, NOT patent work. [...]
Back in February I got an email from Alex Rawal, asking me if I wanted a free pair of running shoes to try out. Despite the fact that I find Alex’s company’s advertising incredibly insulting, I decided to give them a fair shake and try them out. After all, Alex was nice enough to [...]

The record high temperatures and humidity at Sunday’s race made for [...]
Disclaimer: I wasn’t there. This is entirely my opinion.
After reading about people’s accounts of the Chicago Marathon this year, I have come to the conclusion that the Megathons have had their day and its over.
40,000 runners and 1 MILLION spectators may sound like a great party. I’m sure its fun when the weather [...]
I’ve had an apostrophe. (I think you mean an epiphany.)
