So, this is one of those reflective posts that begins with “this time, last year”. Mainly because this time, last year we were marveling in the excitement of Diwali. In India. As it should be. Hence the picture above… It wasn’t my first trip to India, but it was my first time celebrating Diwali, otherwise…
Today, we’re talking gear. Yeehaw! We love gear. G, in particular. Shocking? Not so much. He’s a total dude when it comes to gadgets and things that plug in and things that tick and tock and involve keyboards and USBs. Although, running gear isn’t only about cutting-edge technology. It’s about the clothes, the shoes, the…
It’s Day 3, which means we’re well into our count-down! We figured we’d post a little running 101 today, from our perspective. And, just a quick NB, these tips are pre-race tips. We haven’t technically made it through the finish line. And we’re certainly not experts. So, feel free to take our advice with a…
After running seriously for about 2 years, we’ve finally come to realize – and somewhat reluctantly embrace the fact – that running really does entail a series of highs, lows, and in-betweens.

On October 13, 2007, we got married in Lansdowne, VA. Which is close to Leesburg. Which is close to Reston. And Arlington. And DC. Oh, you get the point. …
Ever wondered how ink is made? Take a peek.
Tractors, calves giving birth, fried Oreos, fried dough, fried lemonade, fried EVERYthing, bunnies, flags…southerners, northerners, farmers, staffers, techies, lumberjacks, Nascar fans, bureaucrats, free spirits, families…face paint, carnival rides, things that go ’round, things that go up, things that should come down, crafts, candy, fudge…more tractors…vintage, historical, charming. A collision of worlds. Not quite the Texas…
Creative breakfasts! Live. For. Them. You’ve heard us talk about running a lot. And, I’m sure it gets old. Trust me, it’s getting a bit, well, cumbersome for us as well. Kind of cramps the lifestyle if you like to eat protein on Saturdays, go out past 9pm, and live a normal life. But, we’re…
Federer, Nadal, Wozniacki, Ivanovic, Schiavone, and more! Just a few of the names in tennis whom we saw last Thursday. If you’re a fan of the sport, you should try to check out the US Open at least once. We’ve been to the tournament before, but this time was a little different. Mainly because we…
