The mothman cometh

We were happily taking a walk the other day, minding our own business.  Some classic rock was going for LM’s entertainment, it wasn’t too hot…all was well. Then, I noticed something kind of odd.  Lets see if you can spot it.  I’ll give you a hint.  Look at the tree in the background. Yup. Here [...]

For years now, when I’ve been out on walks or runs, if I see something interesting, then I’ll pick it up: Money – Usually small change, although I found a $20 once, then actually found the person it belonged to. Pictures – Usually people, but have found pictures from some [...]

Not a bad month

Pretty good month, if I say so myself. For the weight challenge we’re having at work, for the [not quite] halfway point, I’ve lost 9 pounds. I know my buddy lost 6, and a bunch of people haven’t done squat. I feel pretty good, and although I’m hungry sometimes, I dont’ feel like I’ve starved [...]

[TV Show] Oooh…something new during couch time-Mantracker

I was happy flipping through channels the other day and saw a commercial. Imagine this:  You see two blonde’s hamming it up in mini skirts. A second later, you see them charging through some woods. Not just any ol’ woods, but something that looks impassable. (Kinda what I imagine the Barkley course looks like.) And [...]

Just chatting about whats going on

Ah, what a great day to be out on my feet. The temperature was just right, the air was crisp, leaves were scattered about, and no cars tried running me off the road. I missed my time goal by 41 seconds, but hey, since I normally don’t care about time, that’s okay. After my run, I was [...]

Midweek review

First off, good luck to Team Runners Fit this weekend in the Blue Ridge Relay.  Was a blast last year, and should be just as fun this year. (Even if I’m not there.)  We’re all looking forward to the updates.  Mark is going to try sending Facebook status updates…we’ll see how well Verizon’s network works. [...]

Sunday Morning

The Sunday morning run was Harbins Park. A good crowd showed up: Dustin, Ryan, Mark, Joe, Roman, and Brad. Weather was just about right, being a relatively cool 69 degrees, and everyone was in good spirits. After everyone decided on the route they were going, away we went.  (Variations of the hiking trail, the out [...]
