On Athens without Chris

May 28th, 2010

So, whether you read this blog daily or have only read it once, you probably know that I visit Athens quite frequently to visit my best friend Chris. We always have such a great time while I’m in town. He usually works during the week or takes a day off to hang out with me, and [...]


Proof that I’m a dork

April 27th, 2010

Okay, so last week I wrote a post about how much I enjoy spending time in Athens since the city is so walkable. And I mentioned that I would really like to just wear my watch on a night of bar-hopping to see how many calories one would burn. And with some courage from you [...]


How about a threesome?*

April 22nd, 2010

The great thing about social networking is that you can meet others that have similar interests to you. Because of that, I have lots of graphic designers who are also runners on my social radar – and it’s awesome!
I got to meet one of these designer/runner types yesterday (trust me, there are a lot more [...]


On walkable cities

April 21st, 2010

Charlotte is trying. Charlotte’s been converting four-lane roads to two-lane roads with bike lanes and sidewalks. They are doing this in order not to miss out on some government spending. I am happy with this. In doing some research to attempt to find information about this, I came across a blog post about walking to [...]


Bumping and beer pong

April 19th, 2010

Beer club at Pauleys in Athens, Ga:
 So, here’s how the beer club works at Pauleys: Drink 100 beers, 35 imports and 65 domestics, and get your picture on the wall with a quote. No time limit. I started my beer card on 11/1/08, right after the bar opened. The bar was so dead, that night, [...]


Downtown Athens: A different point of shoot

April 16th, 2010

Chris got a new camera and thought it’d be cool if we took some pictures around downtown Athens. I’ve been wanting pictures for his apartment that I’m helping him decorate for a long time, so I was totally down for that idea. He then complained because I took too long on the walk back to his [...]


What’s a little sweat between friends?

April 15th, 2010

Forgive the bad photos on this post. We were in a hurry to go running, the sun was bright, and stuff.
To tell this story I first have to tell you about my friend Beth. Beth found my blog several months ago. She was training for the Thunder Road Marathon, and in searching for information about [...]


Some friends know just what you need

April 14th, 2010

The only thing cooler than running a half marathon is running a half marathon and then finding this waiting for you after the race:

Thanks to my best friend Chris for the kick-ass post-race birthday gift! I’ll be getting my deep-tissue massage tomorrow afternoon. Great excuse to push myself on a hilly run today!


Beer, friends and fun on a Sunday afternoon

April 13th, 2010

What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than at Classic City Brewfest? And on top of that, to be invited by one of my favorite friends who loves beer? I’m in!
I’ve been to wine tastings but never a beer tasting before. I like beer. I don’t always know what to order when it comes to beer, [...]


If you promise free beer, you better deliver …

April 12th, 2010

So, Charlotte Racefest happened. And I was there. And I ran. And I did way better than I thought I would. In fact, I was only about a minute and some change slower than the half marathon I ran in October, and I was more prepared for that one, and that one was less hilly. [...]
