Here it is at the end of 2009. And while remembering all the cool stuff I want to do next year, I have to take a step back and look at the top five things that happened this year. Here’s my list:

1. Marathon or Bust
I had no idea by the end of 2009 I would [...]

We had a three part Christmas this year. We started off with a traditional Christmas Eve dinner at my parents consisted of green salad, orzu salad, personal flat bread pizza’s, vegetarian chili, barley soup and corn bread. Followed by dessert of Jason’s half eaten birthday cake. Can we say YUM?!
The next morning we rose early…at [...]

We are fortunate enough in Reno to have a non-profit running club. The founder, Coach Ski, felt that people should not have to pay to “get off the couch and out the door”. He has done so much for so many runners that we wanted to celebrate and his birthday was the perfect opportunity. [...]

One day I was sitting over at the Weaver household, and Ron comes in and throws this book at me.
“You want to read this? I don’t want to. My friends in New Zealand say it’s good.” I looked at it and wasn’t too interested. But while I was waiting for Bridget, I managed to read [...]

Ahh the joys of Christmas - family, friends, alcohol, and why not add a charity event. Our friend, Lisa Jansen helps out with the Santa Crawl each year, and this year they wanted to have a “starter” event where proceeds would go to the Hashimoto Widows and Orphans fund. The charity provides local families of [...]

Saturday, December 12th was the eight’s annual Reno Santa Pub Crawl. It started off as a pretty snowy day and I worried about what the weather was going to be like that evening, but we had so much fun last year and with the thought of 4000 other Santa’s out braving the weather how could [...]

This little tidbit was something I wrote before we merged into One to One interactive. One thing I noticed while readings this is that mobile phones are getting more savvy in interpreting HTML email (e.g. Iphone), but this is still not standard.
Catering to the Mobile User
Today, the term cell phone is now only a feature [...]

I had an upset stomach all week leading up to the race. I started eating things that I was used to hoping that it would help. I also thought that I may have become allergic to something. Finally on Friday I realized that it was just race nerves. I was surprised because I didn’t think [...]

26.2. It takes a car almost 30 minutes on the freeway to drive the amount we just ran. And to be quite honest, it was the hardest thing athletically I’ve done to date.
The trip started off with the Weaver family and us driving down to Sacramento. We went to the running expo and picked up [...]

I can still remember the day  Bridget came home with a bag in her hand. She escorted me to the bedroom, and I excitedly followed. She reached her hand in the bag, and pulled out my present…  I was hoping for something else, but was still surprised to see a new running shirt and shorts. [...]
