Yep, just another day in the life. December dawned with an appropriate and picturesque dusting of snow, pretty to look at, but not necessarily fun to run on. I thought the Jingle Jog 5K began at 9:00, but since 10:00 was the actual time, I had plenty of time to stretch and mentally prepare to … Continue reading From jingle bells to a masquerade gala

Apparently there were some serious bottlenecks at the obstacles and competitors who were reaching for personal records were thwarted with waits of up … Continue reading A day of mud and water and friends
Did you know I went to Cornell?
