Running Playlist

So here is the playlist I’m training with at the moment. Feel free to give me suggestions if you think of some other songs that would be good to add. I’m planning to add and remove as I need to so that I can remove any songs that are not working and add ones that […]

Races On The Horizon

So the Music City Marathon didn’t quite happen for me, but I’m still committed to having 2007 be the year of the marathon. Well, maybe at least early 2008. Either way a few races are on the horizon that I’m going to work toward. The first one that I know I’m going to do is […]

uggghhh… swimsuit season

There’s something so terribly, terribly wrong about shopping for swimsuits while it’s snowing outside. And yet, that’s what I was doing this afternoon…. freezing my bum off in a horribly-flourescent-lit fitting room while trying to find suitable swimwear for our cruise. Any girl out there knows that swimsuit shopping is generally an excruciating self-loathing process. […]

Cadbury Quest

So I just spent the past 48+ hours on a massive hunt for one – just one – original, creme-filled Cadbury egg. Not a mini Cadbury egg, not a caramel Cadbury egg, not a Snickers egg or a Reese’s egg, but a good, old-fashioned (yet smaller than in yester-year), gooey-creme-filled, chocolate delicacy that has represented […]

Net Neutrality for Packets

There is a post up today at Microsoft’s www.on10.net that came up with a pretty good point. There is alot of discussion going on about net neutrality and what that is going to mean for everyone. For those of you who don’t know net neutrality is a topic that is eventually going to make its way […]

Running Again

So, I’m thinking about dusting off the running shoes again to get ready for the Nashville marathon/half-marathon coming up in April. It’s been about a month since I’ve done any consistent running. That should help to keep things interesting. The Atlanta half-marathon was a good experience. I finished in just over 2 hours and 2 […]
