Going Goofy

These 3 medals will be mine!

I confess that I’m one of those people who likes to wear his medal around the theme parks after Disney races. I don’t often try to call attention to myself, but you really never get a chance to actually wear your race medals around that often. I’ll also admit that while I’m walking around feeling… Continue reading Going Goofy

My 7 Links

Jenny over at Feet of Fancy nominated me for the 7 Links blog series. I’m honored to oblige, though it’s been hard to go back and look at all my posts to pick 7. I can’t believe I started blogging over 5 years ago! It’s fun to look at some of those old posts –… Continue reading My 7 Links

I was having buyer’s… Continue reading Road Tripping

It is a wee bit cramped, though. My last few days have been spent in the frenzy that always occurs… Continue reading Car blogging

Saturday morning run group

On Friday night, Meredith and Scott invited Raffi and I to go sailing with them. I’ve always wanted to sail and we jumped on the opportunity. Every Friday night, the St. Petersburg Yacht Club has a race. It’s pretty low key and there’s beer involved, so how can you argue with that? Raffi and I… Continue reading Saturday morning run group
