15-mile training run yesterday afternoon. Aside from the obvious problems including: a) It was a hell-ish 90-something degrees outside b) The run was 15 miles long, we have also pinpointed another huge issue. Ab has god-awful taste in music. Here’s a small sampling of what we listened to (in order): Hayes Carll, Black Sabbath, and [...]

Hi guys. I already blogged this week…but I think it’s necessary to pass along one more as this may very well be my last opportunity to do so…ever. I’m getting snake proofed on Sunday.

Hi guys. It’s been a busy past few weeks. Things are calm today…after a crazy weekend. Ab went to a wedding on Saturday at House on the Hill. I went with her to pick up her car the following morning (yep…it was that kind of night. I’m really, really glad there is no video footage [...]

Life as I once knew it (as of last week) has ended. Ab signed up for the Palo Duro Canyon 50 miler. I thought we ran a lot before…now it’s completely out of control. I probably wouldn’t mind it as much if we could go for our runs in the afternoon…but now we get up [...]

For now though, we need to give a shout out to the Arnetts (check out their site: http://www.jennifurrr.com/about.html). They are a super cool couple with a [...]

Occasionally Ab and I do a VERY early morning (5:30 am ish) run through town. It is still dark out, of course, so the runs are usually uneventful. Last Tuesday, however, presented a situation that has created somewhat of a rift between us. The details: It’s about 5:45 am and we’re cruising down South Lamar. [...]
