Man V Food Seattle

Man V Food Seattle

May 30, 2014 | Food, Restaurants, Travel

I ran across a blog post on My Tan Feet  about Beth's 12-egg omelette and it brought back a few hilarious memories. In 2010, Artboy's cousin visited the PNW from Miami, and set out to recreate Man V Food segments, including the infamous 12-egg omelette. For lunch the...

May 5, 2014 | Running, Thought

Well, my "season" has officially started (May 1) and it's time for me to think about my running goals. These are my 2014 Goals, although my season will end with Princess in 2015 before I take March and April off to travel. 1) Run a Full Marathon: This is obviously the...

Top 50

Apr 29, 2014 | Food, Restaurants

I originally wrote this as a response to a question on Facebook, but realising I couldn't hijack a post, I copied it here instead. Having eaten at a good portion of the Top 50 restaurants over the last few years, I cannot think of anything in Canada that even...

Coachella

Apr 22, 2014 | Thought

I was really just playing with the Getty embed feature and chose one of my favorite memories from this year's Coachella. The Replacements played weekend two with Billie Joe, while Paul Westerberg hung out on a couch.

New Years Post

Jan 16, 2014 | Polar Lunacy, Running

I know, I know, I owe y'all a post about the Polar Night Half, but between Norway, Sweden, and Denmark and now Disneyland, I haven't had a moment to breathe, nonetheless look at photos and post a blog! It was awesome; I'll post more later. What I really wanted to...

In Norway

In Norway

Dec 31, 2013 | Polar Lunacy, Running, Travel

It's just past 5 a.m. here in Oslo and I'm itching to go for a run. I'm also tapering, which I don't normally do before a half. I've also been traveling so much. Thanks to an insanely long layover in London, it took 26 hours to get to Oslo from Seattle. I lost even...

Seattle (half) Marathon is hills…

Dec 3, 2013 | Running

So most people research a race before they register. They pour over course maps and look at their calendar to see how it fits it. That person is not me. I set my mind on something and make it happen, no matter what. So when I decided to run the Seattle Quadzuki this...

$11,000 for CCFA! Thank You

Nov 18, 2013 | Team Challenge

That is all. With your help, I raised somewhere around $11,000 for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. It's hard to say how much exactly because with the departure of our Endurance Manager, also went the confirmed data. Ah well, I know what we did. THANK YOU!!!

Dawg Dash 10k

Oct 22, 2013 | Running

I have no allegiance, but I strapped on some purple shoes (and black capris with purple stripe) and headed out to run what ended up being the hilliest 10k I've ran, and I did that Duvall 10k that was straight uphill at the beginning. Seriously, who would want to go UW...

Try ENERGYbits with PugLife

Oct 21, 2013 | Running, Thought

I recently became a brand ambassador for ENERGYbits. And I rarely pitch products on here, but these I love. Plus, you can get 20% off with promo code PUGLIFE! A few months ago, I heard fellow runners evangelizing on how amazing ENERGYbits were, and I knew I had to try...

It’s been a while….

Oct 17, 2013 | Polar Lunacy, Running, Team Challenge

....yes, I know, it's been a while. I have been absolutely swamped with work, running, and, well, work. It feels like I work more hours than I have available. I know you're supposed to find the time to do whatever your heart desires, but sometimes that just doesn't...

Perhaps the twisted body, boobs flailing run isn't the best for look or pace! I was looking at the camera, posing and of course he snaps as I stop posing. Geesh.

Sleeping In

Sep 21, 2013 | Running

Some days, you just truly need to sleep in. Sleep through practice. Sleep through breakfast. Sleep through the morning. If your life is anything like mine, sleeping in doesn't mean you're catching up on all that missed sleep or that the bags will disappear from...
