By Cool J in MinneapolisLast night, the husband and I went on a "double date" with some friends to see the Spirit of the Marathon II.

After two nights in Crater Lake, we headed east to the town of Bend. I didn't know much about Bend beforehand, except that it was a bit Continue Reading

Hi friends! I'm logging in to write a (hopefully) quick marathon recap while I'm sitting here at Crater Lake Lodge in Crater Lake National Park, enjoying views like this: Pretty breathtaking, right? So I ran my 14th marathon on Saturday, and checked Oregon off the 50 state list as my 12th state. My official time was 4:00:57. It was nowhere near what I had hoped for, but it was still such Continue Reading
