I am a runner. Not a fast runner in the grand scheme of things, but a runner nonetheless, who enjoys the challenge of distance running and particularly the marathon distance. My running log goes back to Dec 26 1998, and in the intervening years I’ve covered 13,150 miles over 2,547 runs. That includes 218 races […]
Previous posts in this series: Planning, Driving West, One Week in Albuquerque As written about previously, we planned a trip to Albuquerque to watch the total lunar eclipse. Reasons being: it was not visible in the eastern US, we tried and failed to visit Albuquerque last year, and I felt the general drier weather of […]
We are on a road trip to New Mexico and Colorado, with a week in Albuquerque (timed to watch the lunar eclipse), a week between Santa Fe and Taos, and a week in Denver. This previous post covers why we picked Albuquerque as our first stop to see the lunar eclipse. Since the drive each […]

We love to travel, and that is one of the reasons we are working on financial independence and a lifestyle that affords us the flexibility to work from anywhere, and therefore travel whenever we want to. This week we are embarking on a 3-week road trip to New Mexico, and this post kicks off a […]
August is National Wellness Month, and we are celebrating all month with posts related to wellness and self-care. ===================== Well, I did it. Ran every day in the month of July! 31 runs and 147.9 miles. Early in the month I wrote about why I was attempting this challenge, and why I wouldn’t be upset […]
I do a lot of running. I’ve been running very regularly since approximately the summer of 1994, which is the year after I finished college. My running log in Excel goes back 21.5 years, all the way to Dec 26, 1998! During my 21.5 ‘running log’ years, I’ve run 11,495.2 miles (as of July 5 […]
