My cousin finally popped the question to his girlfriend of five years. Needless to say, we all gave a sigh of relief and announced, “Thank God,” because we really love her. :) So, last week, Ben and I hopped on a plane to Los Angeles. Since he’s never been on the west coast and I’ve … Continue reading »
Manny’s Bistro in Orange Park
As we all know (and as will be evidenced later on), I am no food blogger. While I plead guilty to taking pictures of my food and posting them on Twitter, writing articles about what I eat is, well, time consuming. I’m really not all that interested. However, I know a very sweet family who … Continue reading »
Holy Ragnar! Race Re-Cap
Chuck Norris never Ragnar’d, but if he did he would run it by himself. Barefoot. It’s done.. 200 miles from Miami to Key West in 36ish hours with about one hour of sleep in a hot, sticky van. The fact that this race is over is sort of sweet sorrow. Let’s start from the beginning: … Continue reading »
2012 Year in Review
I suppose I should’ve written this a few days ago, before we actually entered 2013, but I didn’t get the urge until today. 2012 was a pretty great year and I wanted to reminisce a bit. So let’s get to it… Ben and I rang in the New Year together. And Ben celebrated his 30th … Continue reading »
Ragnar Florida Keys: 200 Miles in T-2 Days
So, Thursday evening I’m hopping in a van to drive to Miami so that I can run from Miami to Key West. Yep.. 196.9 miles* by foot. Thankfully, I’m only running 14.6 of the total distance. *Map says 196.9 but when you add up runner distances it’s 197.1… make up your mind, Ragnar. Two tenths of a … Continue reading »
NYC in a Dream
This past weekend I visited NYC.. I was in and out so quickly, it now feels like it was just a dream. I absolutely love Manhattan, so choosing this location for a professional certification exam (over some other, far away cities), was easy. I flew up with another person, also taking the test, on Friday … Continue reading »
Siesta Key 5k Ocean Swim – Race Recap
I first heard about this race from Jim (www.jumpingfish.net) months ago; he kept bragging about how this is one of his favorite races because the location is absolutely beautiful. A few weeks ago, a fellow swimmer posted the race registration on facebook. I was hesitant to go because it was on my birthday and I … Continue reading »
The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. -Saint Augustine
I used to travel a LOT… now I find I just work a LOT. Before grad school, I found an excuse to “get out of town” once a month, or so. Since I now have a career in which my patients rely on me, I feel incredibly guilty just taking an hour to go to the … Continue reading »
Oceans, Rivers and Pools, Oh My!
Oh, my goodness.. well, I had an entire post about last week’s St. Johns River Swim and I didn’t post it because I was waiting for a picture or two from a friend. However, that river swim is old news! Here are some recaps of this crazy week I’ve endured: Saturday, August 11th - St.Johns … Continue reading »
Technology Offers a Choice
What do I do for a living? Well, I’m a speech-language pathologist. But, more specifically, I work with children who are deaf and hard of hearing. Although I do work with a wide variety of children with different speech and language concerns, my passion is working with children who have hearing loss. I sort of … Continue reading »
