This year I was aiming for triumphant. I kept telling myself: "Come up with a good finish line pose. Come up with a good finish line pose."
Of course, all this goes out the window at around mile 20 when all you really start to care about is ever finishing. ...

Glenna sent me the above photo from the Team in Training kickoff meeting. Apparently I made the slide deck this year.

Like a cheetah. A purple cheetah. An asthmatic purple cheetah.
This was taken at about the 25 m. mark. So I'm surprised I was even able to move. ...

Ran the Spring Light 5k on Sunday through Spring Grove Cemetery. It couldn't have been a more perfect day for running.
The course turned out to be really nice because the only major uphill was during the first mile and a half. And it didn't even really hit one of the ...
