  • A little light run
  • This may sound odd, but as I was thinking about what to write, what kept popping up in the back of my mind was the idea of the phoenix. You know, the giant, raptor-like mythical bird that lives for hundreds of years, only to build itself a nest, ignite it, and then be reborn from the ashes?The first time I can ever remember being introduced to that idea — somewhere along the way in school, maybe, or in a book I read? — I thought of what the phoenix does as a one-time thing.

  • An update on our plans for the Eugene Half
  • Good afternoon/evening, friends! I wish I had better news to share with you, but I need to give you a heads-up on the Eugene Half Marathon in Oregon next month, the race we’ve been planning as a meetup event just like we did at the Richmond (Va.) Half Marathon last fall. I hate to have to tell you this, but unfortunately I won’t be able to make it to the race.
