After my victorious 5K triumph on Sunday, I parked my car in its usual spot in our driveway and forgot to lock it as I limped into the house. The next day i am driving to lunch and can’t find the charger to plug in my cell phone. I start mumbling to myself “why would […]

In 1969, a 14-year-old boy snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room with a tape recorder and convinced him to share his thoughts about peace, music, and life. Thirty-nine years later, a small portion of that priceless 40-minute recording of Lennon was brought to life through James Braithwaite’s animation, in a short called I Met The […]

Today was race day – and I won! Well not really, Erin beat me – but I did finish first in my division (36-year-old bearded men wearing number 673). Seriously though, Erin and I finished together at around 34 minutes. She totally deserved to cross the finish line first since she did not walk […]

Ok, so in less than a week Erin and I will line up to run this 5k, and my training has consisted of exactly TWO runs! Combined those two runs didn’t even equal the 3.1 miles I was trying to get up to speed for. Now, I have been ill the last couple days, but […]

Day 2: I did nothing that could remotely be considered exercise. Day 3: Well around 10pm I realized I should not go two days with out running. So I borrowed Erin’s ipod and dialed up her “workout songs” playlist, which is mostly Kanye, and was out the door. This time I made it two laps, […]
