This was my last race of the year and I was hoping to have a decent showing. I knew the race would not include a PR due to the MCL strain I’ve been nursing since late October ( Read more... )

Okay, looking back at the weekend, I was totally prepared for the actual race, but totally unprepared for the city and the giganticness of the race (in sheer number of runners). So here goes the whole weekend in review ( Read more... )

First off, don't get bit by a big dog. It sucks big time. And if you do, prepare for the most annoyingly slow healing time in what appears to be history.

top chef...50 hours and 40 minutes to go. Not that I'm excited or counting or anything.

Okay, so I know when I need to give up. Short of getting a mercy C, I will most likely be retaking diff eq, probably this summer. I've just resigned myself to this fact.
