You Can’t Run With Me…
…but you can follow my progress on Marathon Monday via cell phone 🙂 Simply text the word RUNNER to 345678 using your US mobile phone. (No, it doesn’t have to be ALL CAPS. I tried both lowercase and uppercase and … Continue reading

Teen Angst
As of today there are fewer than 20 fireballs left in my Fireball Clock. In my countdown to the Boston Marathon–my very first marathon ever–I’ve hit both the teens and the taper. The net-net: I am low on sugar and … Continue reading
