There Is No Finish Line: August 2010
http://nofinishline2005.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
There Is No Finish Line. Thursday, August 19, 2010. Well it's about damn time is all I can really say! Okay, okay - all you runners out there will say that's normal for long distances in the heat. I should have said my feet hurt more and were more swollen than usual. So, yesterday I made a trip to my local running store. And tried a few pairs on. Now, I am generally brand faithful to Asics. And two pairs of Mizuno. Off because I teach in BFA. Program and it was an upper-level scene study class that gradu...

There Is No Finish Line: June 2009
http://nofinishline2005.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
There Is No Finish Line. Friday, June 19, 2009. Today, I got checked out of my rental. So it's official: I am in my new digs! And looking forward to a full deposit refund. Yesterday, after cleaning ALL DAY in 100 degree heat, I returned home, showered, and then poured myself a large margarita. I had seriously earned it. I sat outside on my new deck, dogs at my feet, and listened to my fountain and watched the wildlife in my new backyard. I hear it at least once a walk. Enough already! I chuckled and repl...

There Is No Finish Line: January 2011
http://nofinishline2005.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
There Is No Finish Line. Monday, January 03, 2011. Will Wonders Never Cease? I actually went running this morning. It was 22 degrees (felt like 12 according to the Weather Channel) and I took Stella and Jake with me. It was a mere 2 miles, but I am pleased just the same as if it were more. Looking at my schedule for the long haul, Tuesday, Thursday, and a weekend date are going to be best for me. Tomorrow I take my first Yoga class at the gym. I'm looking forward to it! Links to this post. Last MARCH I w...

There Is No Finish Line: Toad Suck Dazed and Confused
http://nofinishline2005.blogspot.com/2010/02/toad-suck-dazed-and-confused.html
There Is No Finish Line. Monday, February 22, 2010. Toad Suck Dazed and Confused. This weekend I went to a recruiting event for my University in Conway, Arkansas: a.k.a. Toad Suck. Yup. Toad Suck. I am still recovering from my trip on many levels. First, I was pleasantly surprised by a number of the students who auditioned. Of course there is talent everywhere, but I frankly wasn't expecting to call back quite so many students in a place known as Toad Suck. What would YOU have expected? I just went to br...

The Hillipines: Lucky Charms
http://hillippines.blogspot.com/2008/07/lucky-charms.html
Monday, July 14, 2008. I have, without a doubt, the best friends on the planet. Teardrops and tiki huts and toucans and celery seeds and messages in a bottle and courageous cats and prayer scrolls and margarita glasses and buffaloes and evil eyes and hands of Fatima and words of wisdom and horseshoe crabs and.Elvis. If this thing doesn't keep me safe and bring me luck, nothing will. July 14, 2008 at 1:35 PM. July 17, 2008 at 7:07 AM. Sounds like you had a BOBerific weekend! July 17, 2008 at 8:15 PM.

The Hillipines: September 2008
http://hillippines.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 24, 2008. The next 2 years. Peace Corps will tell us our permanent sites on Sunday. Then it's off to visit them on Wednesday to see our schools, meet our counterparts and our new host families. It's like starting all over again. Only this time it's for real. I'm 95% sure I'm going to be in or around Roxas City on the northern side of Panay Island. Wednesday, September 17, 2008. Hot showers (no such thing here). Peanut butter (who knew I'd start craving it? Cold milk (another who knew?

Monday, July 21, 2008. Answer: just fine, I'm sure). Then there's SP, he's a whole other blog post entirely. I think I should've bought a bigger backpack. Edited to add that I started this post way back on July 21, but it's actually now August 9). Have fun in LA LA Land - and at the last of your suppers with old friends. August 9, 2008 at 1:32 PM. Still, the thing you have to figure is that these are friends that you will never say goodbye to. Sorry, you're stuck with us! August 9, 2008 at 9:40 PM. Augus...
