A new look for the upcoming new season! I almost moved my blog to wordpress, but got frusterated with my lack of customization options. I’m very picky about the “look” of my blog and don’t want to use a pre-made template. Honestly I’m not sure why I bother – if you are like me, you […] more
Arithmetic…a forgotten skill

I just returned from my lesson with my trainer. She looked at my tests:::::She discovered a very important error.::::::My test had been added up wrong. Test Intro A was actually a 60% score, NOT a 51% That moved me from last place to first place in my class. This makes so much more sense. I […] more
Post-race update

After the 50 miler last Saturday, Farley looked the best she has ever looked after a race. That has continued into the post-race recovery.

This book review will be published over several posts since it grew exponentially once I started (could have something to do with a 5 ½ hour plane flight and extreme boredom. 11,000 feet and passing over Nevada). This is Part 1 of 4. If you’ve read this blog long enough (silly me, still assuming I […] more
