On the DL

August 29, 2010

I just ended a week of not running, and I have one more to go. After the Summer Breeze race, I limped around for three days. The pain in my lower left leg still lingered. It hurt most when I walked down stairs. When I saw Dr. Eva, she was troubled by this. My calf [...]

August 15, 2010

One thing I did this week was revisit some of the first posts I ever wrote on this blog, way back in 2007. I so enjoyed reading them; they took me back to that moment in time and reminded me of so many details that I had forgotten about… I haven’t been regularly writing these [...]

A Preview of the Portland Marathon Course…sort of

August 11, 2010

This is long overdue. Since I’m running the Portland Marathon this October, I decided to drive the course when I visited the area last month. I printed out the map posted on their Web site and ventured out with my aunt. She drove while I stuck my Flip Camera out the window and recorded. Seriously. [...]
