A while ago I posted about what a runner is. I concluded that post by saying that if you wanted to call yourself a runner, go ahead and call yourself a runner. I also mentioned in that post that at that point, I didn’t really consider myself a runner. I still don’t consider myself a [...]

I found out on Tuesday that this is the last week of school this semester. Which means I have finals next week. Yes, I probably should have looked at the schedule a few weeks ago. I’m stressing – bad – right now. Which is why I haven’t posted yet this week…and may not post again [...]

Last night was waaaaaaaaaaay to windy to run, so Geoff & I decided we would go to Ikea and get boxes to put our DVDs in. When Geoff & I were dating, we would buy the DVD of every movie we saw. Even if they were lame. Once we got married we realized just how [...]
