I think this says it all. More tomorrow when I resemble something like a human being.

If you ask me how many races I’ve run in my life, I wouldn’t be able to give you a number. I’ve been running most of my life, about 27 years (started at 10 and I turn 37 this month). Between cross country and track and everything afterwards, the number…

This was a running weekend. Saturday morning, we ran in the 2nd Annual Jim Boughton 5K Road Race down in Dubuque. This is a fun event with alumni coming back from all over the country and I got to see some friends I don’t see too often. Steph asked me…

So how’s things? Over here, busy is the word. The school year just ended and there’s only four weeks of training before Grandmas Marathon. What little writing I’ve done has been world building for the next novel and fine tuning a query letter. So, lacking any actual content, here’s the…

This morning on my 13 mile run blackbird tried to take off with my scalp. This is not the first time such a thing has happened. Back in June 2009 something almost identical happened. I have a sense that today was more sinister. The bird had its claws tangled up…

This is where I spent my Saturday morning. We had some pretty ugly weather up here today – rain, wind, and temps in the low 40s. Saturday is usually my long run day and rather than subject my support crew (aka, Steph on a bike) to that miserable experience, I…

Little to report on the writing front. I’ve been hammering away at a query letter for Genie Memories. Steph has proven most helpful in sorting through the mess. She spent maybe 45 minutes reading through sample query letters and advice over at Absolute Write, then sat down to help me…

My next writing project – Far Reach – has just been trunked. By that, I mean that I won’t be working on it for a while. For those not familiar with the term, Trunk Novels fall into two categories: 1. One that should never, ever be seen again. 2. One…

Steph went out for an 8 mile run this morning and came back with a dog – Harry. He followed her for 4 miles and was extremely friendly. His owners informed us that he loves bikers and runners and is practically an honorary member of the Luther Cross Country team.…
