TK Update: She came through surgery just fine, and is on to recovery!
Biked to work again today. It was rather cold, but once I stopped thinking about my fingers freezing off, they ceased to bother me.
Interesting things today:
Deer to the left after crossing Beloit road. I need to remember to put the camera in an accessible [...]

Despite the cold temperatures today (44 degrees F, according to the website I checked before I went out), I mapped out and went on a run by my office. The weather was a little chilly, but overall it was a decent route, a nice 3-miler. You can see where I went by clicking the button [...]

First things first – please keep TK in your thoughts today. She’s got a lot going on, and today is her surgery to remove more of her innards. I know I’ll be sending good thoughts her way (for many reasons!) and ask that you do too. I think she is the awesome-y and tk I did [...]

First off, thank you to everyone who came out to Vino 100 last night. Each one of you helped make a difference, either by bidding on an auction item, entering the raffle, buying a glass of wine (or a bottle) or just chatting with Denise and I.
Secondly, I’m exhausted. It will be nice to have this [...]

I left the laptop at work on Friday.
Not by accident, but by choice. You see, I rode my bike in to the office on Friday, and leaving the laptop made for a lighter ride home.
Last week was Bike To Work Week. It was a good excuse reason to put into action a plan that had [...]

9pm. 67 degrees. Dark.
Shuffle attached to my waistband, earbuds in. Scott took the dogs out, and I followed behind him. Started the heart rate monitor, and remarked, “If I’m not back in 45 minutes … come find me.” Gave him a kiss, and off I went.
I walked down the driveway, and turned west towards Hwy [...]

Tonight, I am going to attempt running outside. I did not get up this morning to run at the gym – combination headache, and l a z y took over to make me stay in bed. And tiredness.
So, after dinner, after the conference call with coaches, I will lace up and run my four miles [...]

Within this post is a very good, thought provoking paragraph.
Like that runner, I don’t run to win first, second, or third place. I enjoy the place of the race, and the journey to get to both the start and the finish. Also, that I too am fortunate enough to be able to do so.
