I went to a panel discussion yesterday. Did I go to learn anything? I was hopeful but was also doubtful but I did learn something. I had not really thought this through before so want to put it out there for everyone – those who were at the panel and those who were not. There… Continue reading Natural Gas Drilling and Schools and Taxes
I started my fifth marathon training about a month ago. I am running the Blue Ridge Marathon on April 20th so my training did begin just prior to Christmas. I have this to say about training through holidays. It is definitely easier to start a training cycle then. I trained, starting in October, for my… Continue reading One Month In
I have been a freelancer for over 13 years now. After leaving a good job for what I thought, and was sold in the interview, was a better job with more flexibility, my family came first and I turned to freelancing to make a living. Sometimes, I miss the constant weekday interaction of a go… Continue reading How Does Life Experience Translate into Job Skills?
I have always felt a little selfish, running and taking all this time for training and doing it all for myself. My biggest problem is that I never could choose between all the wonderful causes out there that I would like to support. I tried to do what I could by helping others, donating when… Continue reading @CharityMiles
I know. Who would think that I would have a race schedule that was only six months worth of races? I have, though, plotted out my races for the first six months of 2013. If I do get to all these races, I will hit my 13 in ’13 by the end of June. That… Continue reading 2013 Race Schedule – First Six Months
I don’t think I truly coherently – and I may not be coherent about it again this year – wrote down any goals for 2012.

I decided last year or the year below that I would do a different type of year in review. Below I have listed my favorite blog post for each of the 12 months in 2012. I did not have much trouble, except in July – where I picked two – and in December – where… Continue reading Year in Review
I follow Ashley Pettit Living on Twitter. She posts all these amazing recipes all the time. Some time ago, she posted a stuffed acorn squash recipe. While hers can be found here, I do not eat meat so had to do some modifications. Here is my stuffed acorn squash recipe. Step by step photos also.… Continue reading Stuffed Acorn Squash
I have been remiss in keeping you, loyal readers, up on what is going on in the Elf 4 Health Challenge. We are in week 5 and I am on my third elf. I have loved all the challenges so far and both my elves. The holidays have kept me from getting much writing done… Continue reading #Elf4Health
I know. It’s December 21st. What am I doing posting a list of possible gifts for the runner on your list? Let’s be honest. Someone, probably more than one someone, will be out there braving weather and crazy crowds this weekend to finish up, hopefully not to start, Christmas shopping. I want to help! Here… Continue reading Holiday Helper for the Runner on Your List
