Oh, that’s right. I have a blog.
I knew I hadn’t posted anything in a while, but nearly a month? This is about how lazy I’ve become. Or just otherwise distracted, depending on how you look at it. Spring, however, is FINALLY here. Given that it’s May, it damn well better be here by now. April’s weather was downright schizophrenic. We had…

Three-day adventure
Friday, I took the day off, mostly because I haven’t had a day off in a while. I had plans to revisit a cherished college tradition: pizza, Diet Coke, and Halo 2. For the most part, it was a successful revisiting; I rested, I played video games, I drank a ton of Diet Coke, and…

Back on the run
Yesterday I ran for the first time in a week, and for the first time since the infamous Carfos incident from a couple months ago, I went back to the beach of doom. The snow had melted away by now (believe it or not, there are still some sizeable piles of dirt and snow around…

Sir, why are you running so fast?
This should tell you how exciting downtown Holland can be on a Saturday night. We were at a complete dive bar and my friend decided that the time had come to get the car, which was a couple of blocks down the street. Being the athletic type, he decided to Runfos his way back. On…

Sidecars
I’m fairly certain I already covered this in a previous post, but last week was pretty rock-solid awesome. Between the running, the biking, the 5K, the soccer game, etc., I was both really really pleased with myself and really, really exhausted on Friday night. I did what the cool kids did and took a nap…

Sorry. I’ve been busy.
Part of the reason that I haven’t posted anything in over a week again is because I was either a) too busy or tired to get around to it, b) couldn’t exactly write about it yet, or c) didn’t really have anything worth writing about. “Hooray I ran!” starts to get old after a while.…

Reason to hope
Yesterday afternoon it started snowing. Part of me started to wither and die on the inside again. I am just beyond tired of the snow and the cold and the fact that it will not go away. When I woke up this morning Jetta had an inch of snow on her, it was 18 degrees…

Birch Run and Relativistic Speeds
Today was the epic Birch Run adventure. I had been planning to go on a trip like this since last September and had used it as a motivator to get my ass to the fitness center when it was cold outside at 5:30 in the morning. I chose the outlet mall at Birch Run over…

Valentines Day Adventures
I suppose since I am dating someone I can’t really call Valentines Day Singles Awareness Day this year. Bummer. I rather enjoyed having a really good reason to be kind of surly. It’s the only other day of the year I can bust out my Dr. House routine. Oh well. Yesterday started out on a…

Snowpocalypse 2011
In the middle of last week, Mother Nature apparently decided to have a bet with Michael Bay over who could make the biggest natural disaster ever. The local weather stations were in a tizzy (yes, I said tizzy) for days leading up to the storm, and my mom put on her serious voice when she…
