Wow is zazzle.com awesome! I created a t-shirt and ordered it on Thursday and got it this morning! How nice is that for fast service. Just wanted to post the shirt quickly and I’ll have a pace run recap later. I think all parts on the shirt are just a little too big….but [...]

I’m liking this whole “post-run” recovery thing we are finally doing.

Up until the last few weeks, when Leah’s legs started to hurt more, we hadn’t really been doing any of the proper things after our runs (icing, eating, drinking…being merry) and some ill effects had cropped up. Leah had some shin pain and [...]

Whoa another day up at 4am. Jason and I live about 45 min – 1hour away from Fermi Lab. The traffic in Chicago can be very nightmarish and so to deal with rush hour traffic we have a solution in which we leave Chicago by 5 am, then there is zero traffic and then go [...]

Well the phone interview is over. I was rejected within 20 minutes.

I’m awesome.

I really don’t understand what this company wants. I should have interviewed there when I was 21 because my ability to answer monkey questions was much higher. This job was open to BS/BA, MS or PhD is a wide variety of fields (from [...]

I found this webstie called zazzle.com in which you can design your own t-shirts. They have all styles of shirts (short sleeve, long sleeve, tank tops etc. etc.). So I was thinking how great to make shirts advertising this blog which I could wear at races and so on. Maybe not to race is as [...]

Wind and cold could never stop your fearless runners. I am so annoyed with this weather as mentioned earlier. I am hoping for a warm up in the next week but I can’t get too excited about that prospect.

At about 1.5 miles I asked Jason to give me a practice interview so I could start [...]

It’s 31 degrees right now with a “feels like” 18.

GIVE ME A BREAK.IT’S THE FIRST FREAKIN’ DAY OF SPRING!!!!!!!!

So frustrating. I just want it to be warm. I do this every year too. I get real excited about March and then I freeze for another 30 days hoping each day that weather.com is wrong and [...]

Hi People-

This guy has a great review of the new Garmin 205 GPS watch. It looks pretty sweet!

Well two weeks from yesterday is the 2006 Shamrock Shuffle. I’m totally excited about it because it’s such a fun race. I am a little worried however, because of how much my legs have been hurting lately. I am hoping that they calm down in these next few weeks so I can preform well [...]

Today Jason and I went for an 8 mile run. After we got back I measured the distance using Google Earth and actually found the distance to be more like 8.5. I really need to get my Timex GPS watch battery replaced so I can do more than just run by landmarks. Or…there is the [...]
