Guess who's sweeping the lower 10 miles of the CtC marathon? Yeah. Stop laughing. I'm feeling pretty confident about it. I successfully led a group through the Hi-Dee-Hoe Loop yesterday morning. I did. Except by successfully led, I mean that I was forced out in front and stopped at all intersections (and maybe even a … Continue reading Hi-Dee-Hoe’n With The Crew

RPM Death Clicks
I awoke this morning to this little girl sidled up alongside my back using my body as a bunker as she smacked the biggest cat on the butt and called him names. That's not the way you want to wake up. Because biggest cat is eventually gonna hit his boiling point and turn around to … Continue reading RPM Death Clicks
A Promiseland Parallel Run
I'm not sure it's actually parallel. Because geometry. I'm not even sure where Promiseland is in relation to Day Creek. This is just where they sent us to keep us out of the way. I'm out here wandering around Day Creek Trailhead while I wait for Rogue to get here. Just looking for a gate. … Continue reading A Promiseland Parallel Run
Please Revoke My Social Media Privileges
Someone should really revoke my social media privileges. You know how some people hide behind a computer screen posting horrible things to people? Things they would never say in real life? Like cowards? I know. Hate those people. Someone did that Monday night. On the social medias. They provoked the Muscular White Gut behind the … Continue reading Please Revoke My Social Media Privileges
Monsoon on the Mountain
Just got home. Sun's coming out. It wasn't out 3 hours ago when I was climbing to the top of a mountain . Do you know what was out? Tornado warnings. We'd planned this Banquet of Friendship trip to Christmas Mountain weeks ago. And at the Blue Ridge yesterday, GJB reaffirmed commitment from his core … Continue reading Monsoon on the Mountain
Run Blue Ridge
It's Blue Ridge Marathon day. All my friends posted their race outfits yesterday, and I'm sitting here at 4:30 in the morning downing coffee and digging through three laundry baskets full of unfolded clothes trying to find a running bra and a left sock. Seriously. A left sock. Because Feetures and Balega don't think I'm … Continue reading Run Blue Ridge
Blue Ridge 10k Party
This pic is of last year's Blue Ridge Double Marathon. See those shoes? Those shoes were only about two months old there. They're over a year old now. They've seen a lot of miles. The Blue Ridge Double, Conquer the Cove 25k, Night Train 50k, 6,000 feet up Mt. Mitchel. Alllll of the ridiculously fun … Continue reading Blue Ridge 10k Party
How My Introvert Brain Works
I've been reading about myself lately. I'm a desperate introvert. I need down time. I can become a pretty awful human if I'm forced to people too much for too long without any down time. I will go into full shut down mode right in the middle of a conversation. It seriously just hits out … Continue reading How My Introvert Brain Works
I Don’t Know Why
Before I begin, let me say that I'm going to make all of the landmarks in this post plural. On purpose. Because of who I am as a person. If you're from the Roanoke area, you may be aware that McAfee Knob is often inaccurately referred to as McAfees Knob. And it's possible that one … Continue reading I Don’t Know Why
Axe Throwing Is Probably Something I Should Try
I like a challenge. A few days ago I clicked "interested" on an axe-throwing competition on Facebook. I wanted to see how long before someone questioned it. No one has questioned it. I don't know if that means that they're no longer feeding into my attention-seeking interested-clicking behaviors or if they just wanna let me … Continue reading Axe Throwing Is Probably Something I Should Try
