Happy New Year!
No, I’m not Chinese, or even a true Western Buddhist or anything of the like, but I’ve always had a bit of a thing for the Chinese Zodiac. Maybe because I’m the only sign that doesn’t have clear signs of life1. I am a dragon. 龍. (One of the few Han characters where [...]
To be honest, yes, this Rock ‘n’ Roll event was significantly better organized and enjoyable than Las Vegas was. Neither was an absolute disaster, and neither was perfect, but they were both enjoyable races and of course I can’t help but draw comparisons. That said, I think I’m done with the Rock ‘n’ Roll brand1 [...]
This probably isn’t going to be the greatest reflection on my 2011 goals, but let’s just get down to it. The year is over. And then some. And I haven’t made any “resolutions” save for a resolution not to make any year-based goals for 2012. So, before we get to far in to 2012, I’m [...]
Sometimes I think. Sometimes those thoughts get too unwieldy to finish. Even for a blog of self-professed rambling. So I will sum up.
Latkes are yummy. Especially when you swap up ingredients based on what you have on hand. I followed my friend Deb’s recipe but swapped out red potatoes 1 and shallots instead of onions. [...]
Disclaimer: I had a good time at this race. If you’re looking for another bitter, Competitor-bashing, rage against Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas, you won’t find it here. Yes, things went wrong, and I have my critiques, as I do of any event, but overall it was very well run and I had a great [...]
Day two of the foolhardy plan to run two marathons in one weekend brought me down to the Valley of Fire Marathon, appropriately enough in Valley of Fire State Park, in Overton NV, about an hour southwest of Mesquite. As with Saturday’s Mesquite Tri-State, Valley of Fire is also run by Planet Ultra – and [...]
Now that was one impressively run race. The Mesquite “Tri-States” Marathon may have had some issues in the past, but the race I ran this morning was awesome from start to finish. I’m not sure exactly what the hubbub was all about, but somewhere along the lines Mammoth Marathons, who used to run this event, [...]
Hangin’ on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
cars passin’ by but none of them seem to go my way…
New York City; well I wish I was on a highway
back to Olympia…
This past weekend was the forty first running of the New York City Marathon. Geoffrey Mutai, Emmanuel Mutai, and Tsegaye Kebede all ran faster than [...]
This probably isn’t going to be the greatest reflection on my 2011 goals, but let’s just get down to it.
Mileage – Holy breaking the consistency, Batman! After nine solid months consistently above my targeted minimum 104.131456 targeted average for the 2011 kilometer challenge, the taper and recovery of my first marathon in over a year sabotaged [...]
Yeah, we left Utah three weeks ago and settled in to Mesquite, NV for the winter. But then the organizers of the Provo Halloween Half Marathon started a big push of Facebook ads1, which, coupled with a rude awakening of the cost of a weekend of Vegas parties for Halloween weekend, looked like an awesome [...]
