I live in Seattle, in the neighbordhood of Wallingford, in a spacious, airy studio with a great kitchen and wonderful light. I have no fulltime job---I am attempting to support myself as an independent contractor, as a web designer. There is little pressure in my daily life but I become antsy with the lack of [...]
I am resigned to the extreme improbability of qualifying for the Boston Marathon by running the San Francisco Marathon. Chuck pointed out to me a few weeks ago that the course record for San Francisco is over two and a half hours---the record in Boston is 2:07:14. After stewing for a bit on this discrepancy, [...]

Check, check, check it out: Florence 2005. I am working on political websites for Brian and quite enjoying the products (at least aesthetically). I [...]

My training was right on course until two days ago when the bottom of my left [...]
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 [...]
