News flash: I finished my first half marathon. See my results here. The Lincoln Marathon/Half Marathon is an amazing event. College friends who have run it for years have always said that. Now I know it, too. And maybe it’s like any ole half marathon/marathon, but it is my first one so of [...] I remember when I used to be bored sometimes. This spring, I wasn’t. Ever. I took a college class. I trained for a half marathon. I made some major relationship decisions. I am buying the ex husband out of the mortgage. Oh yea, and I continued to [...]
