I fixed and updated many elements of my template, ColorRun, and now am much happier with it. Huzzah! Regardless, I may present a new theme soon based on one of two background patterns with which I am particularly pleased.
My training was right on course until two days ago when the bottom of my left foot [...]
I have been a bit lackadaisical with my blogging lately—but not with my running! I have not missed any workouts in the last week: 8 miles at 7 AM on Sunday, 3 miles at lunch on Monday, biking and lifting at lunch and 6 miles in the evening on Tuesday, and 3 miles at lunch [...]

We have sectionals next weekend and [...]
No, I did not move to Seattle early. The hills above Claremont are verdant and green from all the recent rain. The view to the north is unreal—never have I seen them like this. I suppose we have never had so much rain late in the spring.
I ran 2.9 miles warm-up from Mudd up Mills [...]
