How I'm Conquering Fear
The world, in general, is a pretty easy to get along in space. But it's also a little scary. I'm afraid of the unknown. Of not fitting in (sometimes I stand out more than I fit in). Of being left... Continue reading

My Favorite Podcasts (lately)
Y'all. Life lately has been just a bit chaotic lately. There isn't enough time in my day to really watch TV (shocker, I'm catching up on my shows via DVR), except really Doctor Who. Nor is there enough time to... Continue reading

Supermoon!
Sunday night we were lucky enough to be able to see the supermoon eclipse. Well, most of it. We ended up with too much cloud cover to catch the blood moon, but what we saw? Incredible. It was pretty awesome.... Continue reading

Random Rambles
Lately the 100 days of blogging has been behind the blog work. Brainstorming posts. Working on pictures for future posts. And combating some wicked nausea. Which is why I've been silent online (mostly), and writing up a storm offline. So... Continue reading

Prepping for Race Day
I don't often write about what I do before a race. I figure most things are pretty common knowledge: train for the race you're going to be running; don't change anything race day, including what you eat before you run;... Continue reading
