Another post in which I should be studying

I’m convinced that you, My Dear Reader, have all the answers to the very difficult questions that come up in my life. For example – What topic should I write my Ride and Tie Scholarship on? –> My winning submission was the DIRECT result of a reader question, and a series of posts. Or, should I […] more
I am…."Worst Crew Ever"
| September 23, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Editorial note: apparently I’m scaring people. Rest assured this is a post that is written tongue in cheek. Me and Funder both agreed that worst crew every is the BEST…you know – in that “worst sort of way”, and I had a lot of fun, and was very caffeine deprived (forgot to drink caffeine because […] more

Part of my curriculum this semester is a comparative medicine class that consists of mostly group work 2x a week on various subjects. There is usually a quiz, and then discussions.

On Sunday I ran the Buffalo Stampede 10 mile race for the 4th or 5th time and a friend on facebook asked me to describe my training program. The first thing to establish here.
