Hilarious train moment

Do you ever have one of those moments when you really want to laugh and you have to try your hardest to hold it in?  Yesterday on my train ride home, there was a normal enough middle-aged man sitting across from me, listening to his iPod at top volume.  Artist: Beyonce.  Song: Irreplacable.  Not only was it [...]

This is why I run

Let me just say that I run because I love it.  It’s not because I’m talented or because I want to impress anyone or even because I’m trying to stay in shape.  My reason for starting was something else entirely but my reason for continuing is because I fell in love with it somewhere along [...]

Training and beer (Not simultaneously)

 
One thing I love about the fall – fall festivals.  Oktoberfests, apple picking festivals, Halloween stuff…love it!  Yesterday was Oktoberfest in Newport and it was just the perfect day for it.  The air was a little crisp, the sun was shining bright, the ocean air was blowing slightly.  Perfection!  It was just a great way [...]
