Running with Buffalo: Reflections on My First Ultra
Posted on 02. Apr, 2010 by Writer.
So I finished the big race and knocked off numero dos on the life list. I did it and surprised the hell out of myself. I don’t think I have ever been so proud of myself. Not just because I finished the race but also because I finished the race smiling.

Posted on 26. Mar, 2010 by Writer.
Tomorrow I am getting up at the ass crack of dawn and running my first ultramarathon – 32-miles of dirt, sand, and rock. And mind you I am no hardcore – I simply decided to attack something on the life list. This morning, I revisited the life list hoping to rouse some confidence and panicked. [...]

I aptly named the gathering “decorate your own damn cookie and make your own f***ing pizza party” to reflect my holiday spirit. Having [...]

100+ Things to Do to Help Shape My Creative Life
Posted on 22. Nov, 2009 by Writer.
