Anonymous asked: Hi buddy! I'm mailing a package out to you tomorrow, but I'm not sure it will make it to you from my current location in time for Christmas. (I'm saying this is my way of extending the holiday cheer a couple of days and hopefully that's okay--SORRY!) Hope you're gearing up for a lovely holiday!

An Annotated Response To That New York Post Tim...
fullcredit:
Tebow is respectful, wholesome and a man of God. He has no obvious failings besides an inaccurate throwing arm.
Well that is unfortunate, as THAT IS HIS JOB. Not to teach us all about Jesus. His job is to THROW THE BALL TO SOMEONE ELSE, and if he wasn’t talking about God all the fucking time, then no one would be talking about him.
The New York Giants famously prayed on the...

Awesomeness Abounds: Over it →
sequinsandsideeye:
“I am over rape.
I am over rape culture, rape mentality, rape pages on Facebook.
I am over the thousands of people who signed those pages with their real names without shame.
I am over people demanding their right to rape pages, and calling it freedom of speech or justifying it as a joke.
I am…
I’m over it.

On Penn State: Victimhood can be so lonely
thepoliticalpartygirl:
Watching these Penn State riots/protests/whatever, I can’t help but think of the students at Penn State who have been victims of monsters like Sandusky. To watch your classmates chant the name of a man who not only permitted but enabled the sexual abuse of young children, some as young as 8-years-old must be so awful. I remember in the wake of my sexual assault, both the...

Step down, Paterno. Now.
This morning I pulled up the Huffington Post article about the Penn State scandal and watched the videos of Paterno essentially holding a press conference from his bedroom window and, then, alarmingly leading a Penn State chant on his front lawn while calling for a win over Nebraska. Disgusted doesn’t even begin to cover it, nor does enraged.
Of course, my feelings on the matter are...

Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon -- October 2nd, 2011
When people ask me where I’m from, I have a few answers. I was born in a small town, Escanaba, in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I grew up in the suburbs of Milwaukee, WI. When I go “home” these days, it’s usually to Chicago where my parents currently live. Apart from being quintessentially midwestern, the thing all these places have in common is Lake Michigan. And I sure do love the lake. A...

RW Daily: Jennipede Runners →
While I’m busy trying to articulate just what running my first marathon meant to me, you should read about this amazing feat that took place at the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon this year.
(source)
62 people running a marathon tethered together. $108,000+ raised for Jenny Crain, a woman who was once one of our country’s elite runners, until she was hit by a car while training.
Anonymous asked: I'm sorry to hear about the skinned knee, but congratulations on your first marathon! I just wanted to let you know that I'm putting a little something in the mail for you tomorrow. Be on the lookout! -TB

Back on Schedule
For the past several weeks, I’ve been juggling working full time as a neuropsychometrist and making time for a new research assistant position I started in May. Today I finally started a more sane schedule: Mondays and Wednesdays working on research and Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays doing clinical work. The research position is the stuff my neuropsychologist-in-training dreams are made...

These workouts are legit. →
I’m certainly not the first person to sing the praises of BodyRock.tv, but if you’ve never checked out the workouts, move your butt on over ASAP. I first heard about BodyRock from The Fitnessista a few months ago, and I’ve been incorporating more of the workouts into my routine lately.
The workouts are pretty short (the one I did this morning lasted 12 minutes!) but definitely...
Father's Day still feels a little icky.
The greatest lesson I’ve learned from my father? You cannot make someone change.
My memories of my father are very few, but very vivid. I remember the birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese’s. I remember the barrette I had made at Brownies the one time he picked me up after a meeting. I remember the emerald lamp in his living room. I remember the very tiny heart-shaped diamond ring he gave me...

I have to wait a year longer than expected to don...
So today I rocked a Lululemon define jacket, black sequined ballet flats, and OPI’s Pamplona Purple while consulting on med/tele with my supervisor.
I’ve been spouting a lot of, “This year will be an amazing year of training even if I’m not on residency yet!” over the last few months, and I’m actually beginning to believe it. I learned a good deal today, from...

Going out with a bang.
I have my last class of grad school today at 12:30.
I also have a paper due at the same time. Currently sitting in Starbucks, turning my very rough outline into an acceptable research prospectus.
I am very, very ready to be finished with this part of my career. Ready to get some more enjoyable parts of my life back, like reading for pleasure and less-guiltfully relaxing on Saturday afternoons. I...

Colorado Half Marathon -- May 1st, 2011
Even though I dropped down from the marathon to the half marathon, I was still quite under-trained for 13.1. I chose to do the half instead of the 10k or 5k because I still wanted to do a long distance and, having run one half before, I knew it was a distance I could finish even if I needed to walk a significant portion of the race.
Still, I had a lot of doubts Sunday morning. What if I...

Tomorrow, I'm not running as far as I'd planned.
I’m running a half marathon tomorrow.
I had originally signed up for the marathon.
I trained some, but my heart was never really in it. I tried to jump into training for 26.2 right after taking six weeks off to figure out why my heart ticks so swiftly. I ran 14 miles at one point. And then, I got some crushing news. It’s an excuse, I know, but spending time alone with my...

Easter Eve
I was born the day before Easter in 1986. I was nearly a month early, and my mom was visiting family in the upper peninsula of Michigan for the holiday. Most of my extended family lives in the same small town in the UP, and while my father wasn’t present for my birth, I was quite literally born into the arms of a village that stood by my mom as she navigated her way through single...

Foothills Wine & Food Experience
Last night, the SO and I went to the Foothills Wine & Food Experience, which is a charity event that sponsors some fantastic mental health agencies in northern Colorado. We’ve gone once before, and we’re certainly not ones to turn down a night of local restaurants, breweries, and wineries.
We started off with some samples from a few local breweries.

Thanks for making me a fighter.
I went to spin this evening. It was the kind of workout I live for; something clicked. It was 60 minutes of jumps, climbs, and sprints. I pushed myself harder than I’ve pushed in a workout in a long time, and I felt like I could keep going and going and going. My shirt was soaked when I finished. I was in the zone, pedaling my little heart out. The workout ended four hours ago, and I still...
