Apparently when Moses found the 10 commandments, he missed the third giant rock that told folks they should not let girls play sports with boys. But thankfully for America, a school in Arizona happened to find that tablet and are keeping sports free of those pesky females. Can I get a Hail Mary? Our Lady … Continue reading
Run First Marathon – check!
Somehow I’m able to type right now considering ever single inch of my body hurts…which means I have finally ran my first marathon!! Looking back, I have no idea how I did it, but feel so amazing that it is official. All I wanted to do was finish and run the whole thing…and somehow I … Continue reading
T minus 21 hours before my first marathon!!!!
Thankfully I had a great night’s sleep last night (since I likely will be getting none tonight) so just have a few more hours to stress out before go time. I have been a wreck all week – butterflies in my stomach, at times feeling like I am going to throw up, thinking about everything … Continue reading
Countdown to Marathon – 5 Days
As I look back on my training, “5” stands for the time I got up most weekends to complete my long training runs. Normally, getting up that early is no big deal since I do it every day for work…but for some reason when it happens on a weekend it just seems like it should … Continue reading
Goal Status April
1/3 of the way through the year and so far I am over my goals! Yay, that rarely happens….The only reason I’m close is because I’ve got the marathon coming up (6 days!); I am 100% certain I will start falling behind after this weekend. Oh well, I made it farther than I thought. I … Continue reading
They really do go big in Texas
Some little teen punk in Texas has been caught for lying to her school and town, telling them she has cancer and raising $17,000 with a variety of sob stories about her ‘condition’. Well, turns out she does not have cancer and has essentially been stealing from generous people all around El Paso. Are you … Continue reading
I discovered a new species today at the gym
We’ve all heard of/seen/been a gym rat before so this is not new. But today (okay a long time ago), I came across a new species I am calling the Health Club Creeper. As I have been training for my marathon, most of my time has been spent outside so I have avoided all the … Continue reading
Publicly Funded Elections – Yes or No?
Today I was listening to a podcast about having solely publicly funded elections. They said no one does it because the money you can get there is nothing compared to the truckloads of cash you can get from wealthy people, corporations, Super PACs (if I haven’t thanked you enough for this, Supreme Court, thanks again) … Continue reading
Goal Status – March (a few days late)
It is a month and a day until my very first marathon. Yikes!!! I’m starting to get pretty nervous…and after last weekend’s 18 mile run, I’m wondering if I will be able to do it. Considering I was delirious and practically in tears by mile 17 (I think part of that was because I had … Continue reading
Has Pat Summit just coached her last game?
Today, the Lady Vols lost to the undefeated Baylor Bears in the women’s Elite 8. As I watched Pat pace up and down the sidelines, (granted not as fiery or forceful as in years past) I couldn’t help but wonder if she has coached her last game. If it is, it is so unfortunate that … Continue reading
