I’m taking a page out of James’ book with this “Just the run” post. I have two good girlfriends coming over in about an hour for dinner and I haven’t started cooking yet. Or cleaning. And there’s a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. Thank god I went running this morning instead of leaving [...]

Everytime I have a stressful moment at work. When I worry that I’ve made the wrong call, or that a client may be angry at me. That my boss may be disappointed in the work that I do, or a journalist may be pissed off at me. I remember what my manager once told me… [...]

I went for my run this morning and it was like I’d forgotten how to run. My legs felt like they were weighed down with sandbags and each step felt like a huge effort. As I ran down the riverside trail, slowly but surely other runners passed me, apparently easily breezing past me. I’m hoping [...]

Andy, I said it before and I’ll say it again – you totally rock. Thanks to you, my Garmin is no longer in danger of me throwing it off my balcony in frustration. Today was insane. Went for my morning run, went to work and it was non-stop all day working on clients and new [...]

I went for my run this morning – Garmin not included because it’s been on the frizz for the past few days. I came back and was in a rush to shower and get ready for work, so I didn’t have a chance to look at my blackberry until on the streetcar. Andy had kindly [...]

This weekend we changed our clocks to fall back one hour, which was great because we got an extra hour to sleep in on Sunday. The only downside is that now it gets dark REALLY early, which was when I went for my run tonight after work. The Garmin is STILL acting up. I’m going [...]
