Genki is a Japanese word that doesn’t really have an English equivalent. Loosely translated it means energetic or enthusiastic. When I lived in Japan people would always tell me that I was genki. So while I thought I should give my Garmin a Vegas based name since that’s where I adopted it from (okay, it […]
1 = the number of antibiotics I have left to take 2 = the number of days until my Garmin 305 is delivered to the hotel 3 = the number of sleeps until VEGAS! Life is happy.
when i started blogging, i did it as a way to keep in touch with people. i was never a fan of the large group mails, preferring instead a blog where i wasn’t forcing my life down people’s throats. but now, i blog mostly for me. i get a kick out of reading old entries […]

And it happens to be the coldest night/day of the year with temperatures that are close to -20. Lucky me, I’m in the affected area. On the plus side, I had a terrific night’s […]
The race is Sunday. 2 runs to go. I am excited. Mostly to finish the race and eat a big brunch afterward. And maybe some ice cream. Is that so wrong? I mean, everyone says not to wear/try anything new for the race, so I can’t be excited for my new outfit/shoes/hat… My Nike+ chip […]
That’s right. It’s time for me to commit: I’m going to run the Scotiabank Half Marathon on Sunday September 29. Now it’s on the internet, and I have to do it. And for what it’s worth, this hobby is costing me a fortune.
