february: the month of no m&m's. for a short month, it sure seemed long at times, but i successfully made it all 28 days without indulging. i won't be whipping up m&m pancakes tomorrow morning as marlene suggested (though they do sound delicious), but i guarantee you the streak will end. i do have a few packs from a co-worker from throughout february as well as the large bag from beth to put...

out to pasture
i've wondered before if the disney half marathon of '09 was the peak of my running "career". i ran the green valley 10-mile race this past saturday at furman university, home of the "first" training plan some of you follow. i was hoping for a solid threshold run and at 'worst' a gmp (goal marathon...

temporary outage
i'm experiencing technical difficulties with the internet at the apartment actually working (consistently, and with more bits per second than dial-up). as you may imagine, it puts a bit of a damper on blogging and catching up with all of you.
so for now, i'll leave you with this gem from a 10-mile...

my inner ohno
today i ran 10 miles before the sun went down! ok, well "sun" is used loosely as it doesn't shine lately, but you know what i mean. i got a head start on my run 'cause i left work early to take my car back to the tire shop and make sure everything was ok after monday's triple salchow into the ditch. i definitely miss working "regular" hours so i can run at a time other than 6:30-7:30ish pm! i think...

chasing dale earnhardt
surprise! it snowed again last night/this morning. (hoo.ray.) it was very windy, so i think any pre-treatment attempts by the road crews were pretty much blown away and the roads were not in great shape this morning. i am fairly certain of this because i careened off the side of the road on the way to work this morning. i swiveled and swerved and ended up spinning a 180 off the right-side of the road,...

feeling flat
another pretty successful week in the books. i have to admit, i'm not totally excited about boston. i know i know, that's probably a cardinal sin. i'm sure this dreary winter isn't helping. it freakin' snows every weekend. i swear it's warmer in canada than it is here in kentucky.
speaking of kentucky,...

webster's dictionary
oh boy here i go sending the wrong impressions again. guess my sarcasm didn't translate very well, so let me define a few things from my previous post:
"sponsorship" - (n). an offer from a co-worker to pay for my travels to boston. he seemed serious but it's weird to me and i don't really get why he'd pay. i asked what i would have to do for this sponsorship and he said "just run, i won't make you...
oh spring, where art thou
this week was a pretty crappy effort on my part as i came up quite a bit short on my planned mileage. i salvaged the week with 43 miles, but it took some cramming because i logged a total of 4.5 miles through wednesday... i was off to a very slow start, but i whipped out 13 miles thursday evening in...

administrative business
i've been noticing my readership stats growing recently - hi! and thanks! i've also been a little behind on catching up with everyone lately, but i am slowly getting there.
if you are following me and i'm not following you - please let me know! i don't want to have overlooked any of the newer folks out there (i try to keep it all straight but i know i'm not perfect).
also, new or old, shoot me an...

january 2010
looking back, time has flown! i can't believe we are a full month into 2010 already. if you asked me on any given day in january i'm sure i would've whined about how much longer i have to be in kentucky. heck, i am pretty sure i will still whine if you ask me in february :) (i miss home, what can i...
