Gear geeking
Okay, so I won’t tell you today about how I dropped my pants this past weekend – still waiting for Scott to send the pictures to accompany that story … — In the interim I’ll talk about being a running gear geek. If you’re not a runner, I apologize in advance but if you are a…

Why I blog about running so much
Three reasons: 1. Amy: 2. Whitney: 3. Heather: I have gotten some criticism about writing too much about exercising, and I was told one of my posts even resembled an REI catalog (which it so did.) So I have been curbing the workout talk, but when I read the above posts, I am so full…
