I heard this phrase, “Let all flowers bloom“, on the radio this morning and I really liked it. I have been getting a little frustrated that all my hard work isn’t paying off as well as others around me (Read: I’ve been getting a little jealous). I feel really guilty when I am jealous of others because I should just…

Big Package
I love big packages 😉 Some say that great things come in small packages, but those people obviously haven’t had a real big package specially delivered to them. Do with that information what you will. Today I had this BIG package waiting for me on my doorstep! I won a contest a while back from Nature’s Path for a cereal…

It actually was kind of fun 🙂 It kept my mind working and focused on the run the whole time. I actually don’t know how far I went since my…

Flinstones, Meet the Flintstones
Ta-da! Ben and I dressed up at Fred and Wilma Flintstone for the Halloween party! We completely made these costumes ourselves that same day too! We are hardcore like that (and by hardcore I mean, poor). We went to the party with our friends Matt and Kristin (it was their friends’ party). There was a lot of food and beverages…

Fit to Run
There is a great article in the San Jose Mercury News about the runners who have died in half marathon and marathons since September. Seven people have died trying to go the distance. It’s very sad. The article questions whether or not some people racing are really “fit to race”? Something to think about as more and more people join…
