Another Running Entry
Happy Birthday, Todd! When the blog switched to its new look, I updated my personal best for the 15K (about 9.33 miles). I trekked out on Sunday morning and finished in one hour, 21 minutes, 33 seconds. Here’s the breakdown: Mile 1 – 8:24Mile 2 – 8:53Mile 3 – 8:29Mile 4 – 8:53Mile 5 – […]
Jenelle’s thought for the day
From our friends at despair.com: Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.
Have it Their Way
On Friday, I walked into the Burger King near the mall to buy a gift certificate for a friend of mine who really likes Burger King. I wasn’t sure if Burger King had gift “certificates” or gift “cards” until I read a sign near the register: $5.00 GIFT CERTIFICATE if we fail to issue you […]
Over the hill
Here comes another post from Ben about running. Before I talk about actual running, here’s a picture from last Sunday’s MS Walk. This morning, I ran further than I ever have before in a single workout. I trekked 15.6 miles (about 25K) with an average pace of about 10:21 / mile. What did I learn? […]
Are you Ms. Isaacson?

Run, AND Walk
The weather is beautiful here in the Midwest. I’ve enjoyed have so many opportunities to run outside and make use of my favorite Christmas gift — the Garmin Forerunner that Jenelle bought me. This morning, I logged a new personal best for a ten-kilometer run. I averaged 8:28 per mile for a finishing time of […]
T.G.I.F.
Jenelle did the sweetest thing yesterday — she was supposed to be spending last night in Milwaukee as part of a work-related conference. To my surprise, she walked in around 8:30 p.m. I gave her a great big hug! We watched Survivor together and had a wonderful time. Tonight, we rented Napoleon Dynamite from Blockbuster […]
Miles and Miles
Jenelle and I celebrated our second anniversary this weekend. We spent Friday night at the Harrison House Bed & Breakfast in Naperville, IL. We had an absolutely wonderful time. I think it had something to do with the fact that we were the only guests in any of the five rooms, so we had practically […]
