Today I wanted to share a little anecdote from my evening last night, because it was quite the event. After wrapping up at the local "Beakers and Beer" networking / free beer with my co-workers, I arrived home just like any other evening. I wrapped up my phone call with a collaborator while grabbing the [...]
I’m in a period of pre-training right now. My eight-week training guide for the April 5k doesn’t start officially until the second week of February, so I’m taking this opportunity to ease back into working out. I never stopped, per se, but I was definitely not working out three times a week, or running on [...]

I am officially committed to training my butt off for the next 9 months. What did I do directly after registering to run three races? Bought 6 donuts accidentally.

I understand the need to produce catchy headlines and draw in readers in an extremely crowded and competitive digital media market . . . but Bombogenesis . . . really? This is literally an article title. Old Man Winter to Drop Bombogenesis I was willing to let Polar Vortex slide because it had a nice ring [...]
I was finally able to break open my new Cuisinart Immersion Blender that Jono and Ellie gave me for Christmas for this weeks recipe. Not only does it blend, it also serves as a power whisker and chopper! Wow, what a great tool. Definitely a powertool for the kitchen! Word to the wise, when blending, [...]
