Rio Preview
| October 27, 2016 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Still so so SO busy over here getting the last details worked out for my first 100 mile run. Finished the pace chart Created the crew T-shirt Logo Went for a longish run/hike to see how the trails held up in the recent rain. While desperately trying to go slow enough since I am tapering. […] more
Blue
| October 25, 2016 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I have a lot to write about, but am absolutely swamped getting the details ready for Rio. So, today enjoy some pictures of Farley’s son “Blue” that his owner sent me. I wasn’t the one that bred Farley, birthed Blue, or have even met him or his owner – but it’s cool to see her […] more
Birth Story
| October 18, 2016 | Posted by Melinda under Being Mom |
Blogging has taught me that when telling my personal stories there are two perspectives. The first is the story as it happens.

When I was a itty bitty first-starting-out marathoner Meb was on top. Now more than a decade later, 2 degrees later, a kid, a marriage, diving into the ultra world, getting my first horse (and another, and another..) starting endurance, riding 100 miles, finishing Tevis, discovering ride and tie…..Meb is STILL RUNNING at the top […] more
September 2016 IRL
| October 3, 2016 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
It’s CRAZY to me that September is over. It was a blink of an eye (almost said “literally a blink of an eye” because that’s how it FELT but then realized that the use of “literal” in un-literal situations is a capital offense). I don’t know about you, but October came here on Saturday (snicker […] more
