My first 10K or, I run for donuts
On a recent morning that could only be described as glorious, I ran my first 10K. Slowly. I was kind of nervous about it since my body has continued to feel uncomfortable (polite euphemism for pain) from my tailbone/glute issues, and I really wanted to run the entire 10K even though there was a 5K … Continue reading My first 10K or, I run for donuts
Lark Fest

I’m not sure.
Allman Brothers and Santana at SPAC – 7/27/12
I had a chance to finally get to a show last night at SPAC - first of the season. Despite all the rain we've had recently the lawn was in good shape and the crowd was definitely there to have a good time. The Allman Brothers sounded fantastic. Gregg's voice was in tip-top shape and … Continue reading Allman Brothers and Santana at SPAC – 7/27/12
