Caught the Jogging Bug
I finished the 5k slower than I wanted to. That hill, which was on the second mile, was a fucking BEAST. It was just a little steep, but it was LONG. There was a soaking rain and it snowed. My clothes took two days to dry. J and I are dedicated to doing another 5k soon. I'm going for February or March personally ( Read more... ) -
Getting the 5k Race Jitters
Tomorrow, I'm going to participate in my first 5k race ever and I'm getting jittery. I've just taken my time slowly from walking to jogging and now I can walk/jog consistently for an entire hour with half of that taking place on a small incline. BUT I've been reading up on all this crap: "Runner's Diarrhea", "Runner's Nipple", "Runner's Toe" and ( Read more... ) -

I'm still eying the Derby thing, but I need to work on my skating skills badly. Before Nic and I went skating in August, I hadn't even been on skates in over 10 years. I like these skates ( Read more... ) -
Gay Does NOT = Pedophile

IF...
you are going to be against a government health care plan, please at least know that medicare/medicaid are government-run programs. If you are concerned about the state of these programs, that's one thing, but please already know they are government-run programs. Otherwise, people can't take you seriously. -
Liberals: It's time to fight again
The election of Barack Obama was great, historic, awe-inspiring, wonderful and thrilling. For those who campaigned for Obama and other, local liberals and progressives, it was also exhausting. I admit to being one of the liberals fatigued by the 2008 election cycle. What is usually a span of 6 months to 1 year of a moderately fought primary and a ( Read more... ) -
