Sal comes home. He has been gone ten days.
Ten days.
His trips do not usually keep him for that length of time.
In his absence I become a strange creature. A bachelor of sorts, hobbling together meals that would never otherwise pass for meals, leaving dishes in the sink.
Today is the usual computer work with added welcome-home […]
We grow up and get old. We grow up and get busy. Teams are hard to put together, hard to organize, hard to keep up with .
It’s already enough of a battle to just roll out of bed and go do our morning run, our afternoon ride, our lunchtime walk. We learn to rely on […]
I’ve been writing for a long time. This blog is a baby in the grand scheme of my time spent crafting words. I looked back today and put up some of my favorite historical vignettes… Here are two links with excerpts from each.
The Retirement of My Cross Country Coach - A short piece written for […]
This morning I woke up at 5:00am, put on my cold weather running gear, and went downstairs to enjoy a pre-run coffee.
"Perfect. Everything is perfect.", I thought to myself as I sipped hot liquid Stumptown love in an oversized mug.
Then I shoved music into my pocket, strapped on the heart rate monitor, and opened the […]
Oh, the pain. The sweet, sweet lovin’ pain.
This week I got on my bike and rode it straight into the Center of Suffering.

Tony Horton is many things, but a yogi he is not.
(Aside: Tony Horton is the guy behind P90X, the program I am doing right now.)
As I’m watching his impressive legs move in his little tight yoga pants, I’m thinking more about the fact that he looks like a kid who is ready to watch Saturday […]
New Years is an awesome time. It’s a time when many people feel like they are getting a fresh start. A clean page. A blank slate.
It’s a new year! Full of possibilities! Full of potential! The sky is the limit! Anything can happen!
Indeed, this manic energy is catching. The electricity of so much hope and […]
My cousin has written about this a few times in the past months, and I think it’s a worthy topic. Perfectionism is crippling and paralyzing and for a long time it kept me from accomplishing many of the things that I really wanted to get done. Over the last few years, I’ve really committed myself […]
I’ve always been a runner.
No really, I’m one of those people that can not run for ages and then just go out and do five miles - or six - whatever. It’s just sort of how I’m built. It’s in my blood. It’s like breathing to me… just part of how I make it through […]
It comes back.
Actually, the season is only over for lowly newbies like myself. The big-kids are still going strong.
The point of this blog is to focus on the "everyman and woman", not the hot-shots, so I don’t generally spend a lot of time covering pro news, but it’s worth mentioning that local crusher Sue Butler […]
