Simon Says...Run

This morning was just an easy 7 mile run. Nothing fancy, but it does make 8 days-in-a-row and it gave me 121 miles for the month – on 17 da...

During my run the other day, I was wondering if bloggers were, on average, more passionate about running (or whatever topic) than non-bloggi...

So, I post a picture of my beautiful wife and the comments come out of the woodwork. I guess I don’t blame you. Last night’s run left me sa...

Yes, I’ve been averaging about 8 miles a day and no, it’s not enough. But the title doesn’t have anything to do with running. Today is my 8t...

Is it just me or is this sad? Do we really need a podium with 9 places? Seriously, I believe the meet only scores 8 deep. Why have a podiu...

When is it better to be “smart” than “fast?” At the State Meet, of course. Here’s a photo of my friend Eric’s daughter, 300 meters into the...

Alright, as you’ve all probably guessed by now, I cancelled my orthopedic appointment and set up an ART appointment for tomorrow. I just hav...

One more thing about baseball I forgot to post on Friday. This is a sport where they’re knocking the crap out of a leather sphere with a wo...

I just have a bunch of odd and ends to talk about today. I love sitting back and watching a baseball game. Something about the game is just...

Oh yeah, I had an appointment with my family doctor last Friday. He took an x-ray of my leg. Of course, nothing showed up. If something had ...

Since Susan ask...here are my gardening photos. Here's a little garden I whipped up over the weekend. Actually it's a conservator...
