The One with Decreasing Rest
It was the Monday of Conference Week, November 2008, and it was our last workout on the cinders before race day on Saturday. We knew the schedule said 12×400, but there was a twist we learned when Paul was giving us the paces and the rest intervals. After the first quarter, we would have 2:00Continue reading “The One with Decreasing Rest”
Bruised + Dark Blue Mashup
I was listening to Jack’s Mannequin today and thought “Bruised” and “Dark Blue” would make a good mashup. They’re both sort of sad songs, so I enjoyed piecing together a new, wistful story. Plus, bruises are sometimes dark blue. I’ve got my things, I’m good to goYou met me at the terminal I don’t, don’tContinue reading “Bruised + Dark Blue Mashup”
Racehorse Camp
It all started with a quote. You can’t make a racehorse out of a donkey. But you can make a fast donkey. Coach Jim Perkins Inspired by this quote, rising high school junior Jake Smith started a tradition known as Donkey Camp – a few days of camping at Unicoi State Park with lots ofContinue reading “Racehorse Camp”
I Always Wanted to Be Bacon
When I was in college, I worked at a summer camp called Strong Rock Camp & Retreat in my hometown of Cleveland (and it’s one of the first things I blogged about back in 2017). After 2 summers of being a counselor, I returned for a 3rd summer as a Program Director where I helpedContinue reading “I Always Wanted to Be Bacon”
Thoughts on evermore
I like it. It doesn’t have the “I love the new sound” shock factor that folklore had since they sound so similar, but it’s a good continuation of that sound. willow The start of the album immediately sounds like folklore. Predicting it now: we’re going to see “I come back stronger than a 90s trend.”Continue reading “Thoughts on evermore”
One Year of Breastfeeding
When I first had Caleb, I committed to 6 months of breastfeeding. If I wanted to go longer, great! But if I was hating it, I wanted to give myself a less intimidating goal than an entire year. After one year + 18 days, my season of breastfeeding came to an end, and it endedContinue reading “One Year of Breastfeeding”
Breastfeed Like it’s Your Business
I recently changed from feeding my baby every 3 hours to feeding him every 4. It took some trial and error when it came to filling up his bottles for daycare to make sure he was getting enough to eat, but he takes 2 bottles with 7.5ish oz each day, and then I nurse himContinue reading “Breastfeed Like it’s Your Business”
Prediction Results!
Congratulations to Lucas for predicting the men’s winner and 4th place finisher as well as only being 8 seconds off of the women’s winning time. His win is especially impressive when you consider he had Amy Cragg in his women’s top 5 (who announced this week she wouldn’t be competing). Sarah N was a closeContinue reading “Prediction Results!”
