first run in the #VFFs since breaking my foot in October. I love these shoes! But I made myself take it easy on this run. Didn't push the pace climbed one big hill at the beginning then zig-zagged down the mountain via the side streets. You could tell ... read more

My brother just asked me to do a century ride with him later this year. Very proud of him! Guess I'll have to get the old bike out of storage.

How did you mount the phone?
2 days ago -
I propped the phone on the guardrail across the street, set the timer to 10 sec and added an extra long exposure to compensate for the lack of flash. the hardest part was staying still. took me 4 tries but i got it.

it was perfect outside today. temps in the 60s. clear skies. no wind. I couldn't wait to get off work and hit the pavement. I rushed home, changed clothes and promptly fell asleep for two hours, haha. :-)
When I got up I thought about ditching the ru... read more

I love capoeira!!! I always get the song stuck in my head (zoom zoom zoom capoeira mata um). we used to watch it on youtube during my portuguese classes!

Meredith, they teach capoeira at Lynx Academy on Kempsville in Va Beach. Not sure how much it costs, but I bet they wouldn't mind you sitting in on a music session or roda if you wanted to.
Ally, I'm posting the other pic right now.

Ran at lunch next to a guy I see at the gym all the time. He runs at a pace similar to mine so it was good motivation. Instead of running at an 8.0 I started at 8.1 and was at 9.0 by the end of the half hour. I dont think he paid me any mind but it go... read more

Ran 4 miles in 30 then walked for 5 min to cool down. The run is so much easier on the treadmill when I'm plugged in and watching Cash Cab on the tv. I concentrate on answering the questions and forget that I'm even running. Commercial breaks suck tho... read more
