Despite the fact that the conditions were dangerously icy yesterday and I fell multiple times, jamming my thumb really hard once and landing on my ass hard enough to create a bruise that I almost felt compelled to name, I absolutely LOVE cross-country skiing.

I ran (so far away) – 2012 race summary
My goal for 2012 was to run one organized race or run per month and, if we take the number of races I ran and divide them by twelve, I accomplished my mission. As I removed my race numbers from my bulletin board, I arranged them, as any borderline obsessive would, in chronological order and … Continue reading I ran (so far away) – 2012 race summary
Snow job

Albany’s Last Run
Saturday night was the 16th annual Last Run in Albany. This is absolutely one of my favorite races of the year - festive, fun and filled with friends. This year, my friend Lisa got herself together and registered before the race reached its 1500 runner capacity and we had a blast! The course for this … Continue reading Albany’s Last Run
