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

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

It’s CRAZY to me that September is over.

I don’t know about you, but October came here on Saturday (snicker […] more
