Notes about a half marathon 13 Aug 2013 | 11:58 pm
I wanted to curl up in the fetal position after 8.1 miles. That’s my longest run so far and in a month, I’ll be doing 13.1. Honestly, the thought of doing 5 more miles is painful. 8 miles? Nearly kil...
Creative Road Blocks 10 Aug 2013 | 12:19 am
I know I want to create something. My creative juices (which have been in hiding for the majority of the past three years) started flowing about a week ago and haven’t simmered down since. I bought c...
becoming a boulderite 29 Apr 2013 | 09:30 am
I’ve been a little slow to embrace the Boulder lifestyle, I will admit. I don’t know what was holding me back but for some reason I have resisted a lot of things that make Boulder what it is. After a...
a look at fear, part two 15 Apr 2013 | 09:07 am

Sometimes life hands you a weekend so perfect that you almost want to pinch yourself just to make sure it was real. I was lying in my hammock today in my backyard, at the end of a four mile run that t...
{weekend recap} the quest for the best mac and cheese, scotch and more cheese. 25 Mar 2013 | 08:09 am
All last week I slept horribly and had the hardest time waking up in the morning. All wanted from about Wednesday on was to sleep in on Saturday and Sunday. I couldn’t wait for it, I practically dream...
some music fandom 21 Mar 2013 | 10:46 pm
Ever since I was a kid, music has been an integral part of my life. My earliest memories are of Paul Simon’s Graceland and Fine Young Cannibals’ She Drives Me Crazy. I was probably ten when I got my f...
challenging the comfort zone and overcoming fears 20 Mar 2013 | 05:00 pm
