The End of the Beginning

I had the longest staff meeting this morning/afternoon and ended up eating 2 slices of pizza that my boss provided for the crew.  So my half-ass version of Ants on a Log was a healthy afternoon snack after a greasy lunch.
I didn’t have a lot of time for a “lunch break” so I quickly hit [...]

Googling the Garmin

Someone ate the last container of yogurt…  So running late as usual, my only option was the grab a packet of instant oatmeal and scoot out the door.  When mealtime arrived, of course I added a spoonful of peanut butter to beef it up a little.

Jared and I hit the road at 10:15 am.  We made a pit stop near Utica, NY at noon and each got a slice of pizza.  [...]

Bills Bar

I used my self-timer for the first time ever! Stretching out before going for my run.
Ok, so I haven’t totally figured out the art of self-timer portraits.
It was a little bit muggy and misty, but the running conditions weren’t that bad. We ran 3.6 miles at an average pace of 8 minutes, 22 [...]
