They Have Jack FM in Texas Too!!!

Woot! I freakin’ love Jack FM….wait time to back track.

Because I am insane. Let’s say it together, “Leah is insane.” I have some sickness when it comes to flying. I HAVE to be at the airport insanely early before our flight leaves. Now, if there is some kind of new thing happening, some new way [...]

My Apartment Exploded

I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me (us). I don’t think that being a graduate student should allow me to live in my 1 bedroom apartment like it’s my undergrad college dorm. Seriously. I had to work two weekends ago and Jason did a great job picking up the apartment….and a week [...]

Longer Tempo

Jason and I have been working the early schedule at Fermi Lab which is annoying in the morning when the alarm is buzzing at 4:30, but totally awesome when we are out running by 4:30 in the afternoon. I love the summers because it stays light so late that it never really feels late.

Anyways, today [...]

Easy 5

Today we were in line for an easy, breezy 5 miles. And you know what? It did go pretty easy. And, actually, a little breezy.

It’s kind of nice that 5 miles is getting easy. I had been feeling each and every one of those five miles in the Tuesday runs, which [...]

Atonement by Ian McEwan

I recently bought two books : Atonement by Ian McEwan and The Way the Crow Flies by Ann-Marie MacDonald. I read The Way the Crow Flies awhile back and at the end of it, there was a “if you liked this, you’d love…” I loved The Way the Crow Flies (although really sad) but Atonement [...]

The Fort Wayne Round Up

How can I leave you people without pictures & stories from the weekend!

Lots happened between being mistaken for an 18 year old (by the way if I have to get braces to fix this bite of mine, I’m thinking that’s just going to push my “looks like” age down a couple more years! which is [...]

Book Review: The Historian

The Historian, by Elizabeth Kostova, ripped through Leah’s family like wildfire (except with fewer burn marks), so I really had no choice but to read it as soon as Leah finished. I’m glad I did.

The Historian revolves around the story of the real Dracula, Vlad Drakula of Wallachia (aka Vlad the Impaler). Vlad [...]

I’m Running In The Rain

Just running in the rainWhat a glorious feelingAnd I’m happy again!!!!

Today Jason and I went out for a 5 mile pace run when we got back from driving home from Fort Wayne. I hate being in the car unless it’s some wacky road trip….but along the Indiana Toll Road for 3 hours does not equal [...]

Fort Wayne 10 Miles

This morning Jason and I joined the PR Training group at Sweeny Park to get our weekly long run in….but let me back track a bit.

We got to Fort Wayne last night and went out to dinner with Jason’s parents and his oldest brother Andy. We sit down and the waitress is taking our drink [...]

Here’s to a Great Summer

Yesterday was a bad day at work.

I am trying to get a hold of a title for my car because apperently I lose everything. It’s a $400 dollar car and I have to jump through many many freakin’ loops just to get it out of my hands. If I could just find that damn manilla [...]
