As the Wheel Turns: April 2008
http://alp-asthewheelturns.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
As the Wheel Turns. Tuesday, April 22, 2008. 5 hours, 10 lanes and 1 corkscrew. Finally - Spring/Summer is HERE! No more snow, ice and biting winds. We have finally been blessed with warm days, gentle breezes, sunshine and some spring showers. I have never been so thankful for spring/summer as I am this year. 100 inches of snow and over 180 days without hitting the 70 degree mark.that's enough to drive anyone crazy! This time we chose to go to Doubledays, a bowling alley in Cottage Grove. We chose it...

As the Wheel Turns: President - Elect Barack Obama - Change is Now.
http://alp-asthewheelturns.blogspot.com/2008/11/president-elect-barack-obama-change-is.html
As the Wheel Turns. Tuesday, November 4, 2008. President - Elect Barack Obama - Change is Now. In college, I used to love politics. I even majored in political science, but in the last 8 years I've been very disenfranchised with the American political system. Most frustrating to me is the fact that an individual can win the popular vote in the country but still lose the election. Of course, this is also historic in the fact that Obama will be our first African American president. Though it's a positi...

As the Wheel Turns. Wednesday, October 8, 2008. Look out Micheal Phelps.here I come. I'm happy to say I knocked 10 seconds off my personal best and swam a 5:45! It was hard and it hurt, but I knew that I was swimming well. I'm going to keep swimming 3 days per week through the New Year to improve my swimming even further. I'm going to keep focused on technique and breathing. I can't wait for my next day in the pool. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This kid cracks me up! Hunter is a doll! All the Best Ideas.

As the Wheel Turns: December 2007
http://alp-asthewheelturns.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
As the Wheel Turns. Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Snow Run - The Sequel. Exactly one week after the snowstorm, we got hit with another round of snow from mother nature. Another 5-7 inches of fresh snow on the ground and another Tuesday night run with Peter. This week we were gonna be smarter (or so we thought). We were only going to run for 45 minutes and we were going to run in a primarily residential area where we had hoped more people would be doing some shoveling. So here it is, a week later and I am h...

Baby Steps to the Finish: March 2013
http://babystepstothefinish.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Baby Steps to the Finish. Athlete" i just like the way it sounds. Sunday, March 24, 2013. In my twenties, i felt constant, with the norm. never wanting to miss an experience. in my thirties, life seemed to somehow get ahead of me. the only constant seemed to be me falling behind. it was like i went from mid pack, to running in place at the starting line. everyone else was finishing but me. Go ahead and "TRI". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Trial of Miles; Miles of Trials. First Major League Baseball Game.

Baby Steps to the Finish: Oh Captain, My Captain
http://babystepstothefinish.blogspot.com/2014/08/oh-captain-my-captain.html
Baby Steps to the Finish. Athlete" i just like the way it sounds. Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Oh Captain, My Captain. Public events of mass notary often unearth feelings in others that were dormant for many years. Robin Williams was one for me. It is said that the magnitude of an event is often judged by how much a person can humanly or personally relate to the tragedy. Selfishness of her father to commit such an act. Which brought us all to stand on a soapbox for mental health awareness. We don’t ...

Baby Steps to the Finish: January 2013
http://babystepstothefinish.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Baby Steps to the Finish. Athlete" i just like the way it sounds. Friday, January 25, 2013. 2 months has seemingly passed me by without a blog update, the holidays and a surprise stint as RD got in the way, which puts me exactly five race reports behind (four official, one "unofficial"). It was with this same type of dreaming that I went into the Venice Beach 10k. I’m competitive and tend to get in a zone that is unbreakable once I begin. On december 22nd close to 25 people braved the cold windy weather ...

Baby Steps to the Finish. Athlete" i just like the way it sounds. Wednesday, April 23, 2014. SLC half race report. I had just finished oceanside 70.3 with a tough run so i didn't totally go into this one unprepared. Which is not typical. i wasn't sure how i would do but i also didn't anticipate old age to kick in either. it did. so for all my 20 something friends who don't train and have the occasional glass. ahem bottle of wine it will kick in eventually, about when you are 36 to be exact. Misreading Co...
