The Week of Awesome – The Conclusion

What a week it was: – I put together a raffle to help with the fundraising, and some sponsors got on board. Then we got some sponsors, and people have started wanting to get in on this opportunity. Seriously, $10 for a chance at $650 worth of tri gear and Apple goodness? – Then Jamie [...]

The Week of Awesome: Day 5 (win some awesome prizes!)

So, it’s been an awesome week (actually The Week of Awesome) and it’s about to get even more awesome. I wanted to find a reason to have you all get involved in my fundraising for Team Fight. I mean people are constantly asking for money, and most times all we get is the good feeling [...]

The Week of Awesome – Day 4 (It’s STILL awesome)

The Week of Awesome continues, and let me just say; it really is awesome. I’m cramming a lot into todays post because tomorrows post is special and important. It relates to my efforts for Team Fight, and it gives you my readers a new and fun reason to help. Yesterday, I had a “food episode”. [...]

The Week of Awesome – Day 3

So, you didn’t know this was The Week of Awesome? How in the world didn’t you know that? Oh, probably because I didn’t decide it was The Week of Awesome until this morning. Why did I decide this was The Week of Awesome? Here’s why: 1. Last night was a total trap night: Starving after [...]

Good morning!

Hello there all you lovely people! It’s Tuesday, but feels like Monday because of the President’s Day holiday. I freely admit I didn’t do anything patriotic or in memoriam of the greatness of our greatest presidents. In fact, the only thoughts I had about the day involved trying to decide which nearly-irrelevant holiday provides the better mattress [...]

Bachelor weekend starts of right & my Xterra wetsuit is haunting me

It’s the last weekend of the regular season for NCAA women’s hockey, and it takes the BU Terriers to Maine. Orono, Maine to be precise, a long bus ride from Boston, for a pair of games against U Maine. The games are tonight and tomorrow, and to ensure on-time arrival, the team leaves for Maine [...]

Review: H20 Audio Amphibx Fit waterproof armband

One thing that I can say for sure about Boston is that you almost never know what the weather will be like from one day to the next. So a few weeks ago, when I got offered a chance to review the H2O Audio Amphibx Fit, I asked the fine people there to send one [...]

This is what it’s all about

There’s a saying “Pain is just weakness leaving the body”. I disagree. Sweat is weakness leaving the body. Pain is the sign that you haven’t been sweating enough. I know I don’t look happy in this picture, but I am. I don’t know how well you can see it, but I’m soaked. And I’m focusing [...]
