Do you know the name of the Pennsylvania town where the American version of “The Office” is set? If you’ve ever watched even one episode, you probably do. I’ve watched all of them. Hundreds of times. Which is what I said to John Krasinski in my dream. Repeatedly. For a solid hour. As I was … Continue reading More Evidence I’m Losing My Mind

This Is Not My Birth Month Run
“Are your pants wet?” Yes, TB. Yes they are wet. That’s sweat. That’s what normal humans do when they’re forced to run in a sauna. Because I don’t know if y’all have been outside today. But the humidity level is hovering somewhere close to 100%. That’s basically swimming. There is no oxygen in 100% humid … Continue reading This Is Not My Birth Month Run
Lost Words
“WTH!!! A Burr kills Hamilton?!!” I feel like I shouldn’t have to spoiler alert that. Or emotionally prepare anyone for it. He says right at the start of the show that he does it. Plus, history... When I was in high school, a friend and I went to see “The Doors” movie. And as a … Continue reading Lost Words
This Is Why
I finally visited the End Racism Now mural in downtown Roanoke. (If you click on the photo, it will take you to a webpage where you can purchase a t-shirt with the mural on it.) It’s beautiful. And it inspired me. This post has been sitting on my mind for years. It has taken me … Continue reading This Is Why
Cove Mountain Run
Sometimes I just get in a car with someone. And go wherever they take me. And do whatever they tell me to do. I’m very compliant. Yesterday, that involved getting in Beautiful Beastie’s car. And going to a place she called Cove Mountain. And running a bunch of miles. Which, normally, is challenge enough. But … Continue reading Cove Mountain Run
Bedroom Coffee
I moved my coffee pot to my bedroom last night. Thinking that having the coffee right there would better motivate me to get up early. And while it did. As evidenced by my writing this at 4:36am. It also prevented me from getting my normal coma-like 7 hours of sleep. Because my brain was so … Continue reading Bedroom Coffee
Mountain Brain Processing
The sounds that I’m making as I try to move right now. The sighing. And grunting. And whimpering. Like, I’m annoying the fuck out of myself right now. No wonder Bo didn’t want to walk with me this morning. As I hobbled into the house. From my 11 mile run with Rogue. He struggled up … Continue reading Mountain Brain Processing
A Taylor Swift Workout Session
“I’m surprised BB is letting you go to the gym so much this week instead of resting up for whatever big adventure she has planned.” I’m on call this weekend. Can’t adventure. I’ve got a note from my boss. So I worked out yesterday morning. At home. I was gonna run. But people die in … Continue reading A Taylor Swift Workout Session
The End of a Friendship
You know those mornings where you can’t get out of bed? Literally? Like, you have to do a couple of practice stands before you can actually force yourself up? And fully out of bed? My neck/shoulder rigor mortis is back. It went away after last night’s PlayFITStayFIT workout. Because J-Vicious worked the hell out of … Continue reading The End of a Friendship
