Participated in my second 5k this morning. I ran a whole lot more than the last one. This, as you can see from the picture, was a costumed race. A bunch of us from work went as a gang of Richard Simmons’. I think I look more like a crazy person than Richard Simmons. It…

mission complete
This past Sunday Greg and I completed the Summit County Metroparks Fall Hiking Spree. After false starts for the last 9 years, we finally saw the process through. We went beyond the minimum eight trails required; and hiked every last one on the list. It’s given us a real sense of accomplishment. I picked up…
on golden pond
I had a free afternoon today, so I thought I’d venture across the street to the park to capture some of the essence and colors of autumn. I think I must have picked the most perfect afternoon. Temps were in the 60’s, some clouds were in the sky and the sun was in just the…
the hiking spree continues: trails 6,7,8 & 9
It’s been quite a busy weekend. Friday night was, of course, bowling league. This week we bowled against a fun group of guys named David, Adam, Fred and Jonathon. We had a lot of fun. I wasn’t so sure I was going to have fun after my first game of bowling only 8’s and 9’s….
trails 4 & 5, hiked
In our continuing quest to finish the Summit Metro Parks Fall Hiking Spree, we tackled two more trails this weekend. Saturday morning was the Firestone Metro Park. I, of course forgot my camera. Sunday we hiked the challenging Deer Run Trail at O’Neil Woods Metro Park. 1.8 miles of very rugged and steep terrain. Below are…
have you met Joe H.?
This is my “new” old bowling ball. I found it at a thrift store in Tallmadge this afternoon. Where I found out that, “everything is negotiable.” The sprawling store smelled of stale cigarette smoke. The overpowering stench was probably helped because the aged clerk was smoking her Virgina Slim as she took me around the…
hitting the lanes again tonight
Week two of the bowling league tonight. In case you’re wondering, our team name is mash-up of all of our last names.
our hiking spree began
Greg and I began our task of tackling the Summit County Metro Parks Hiking Spree. You have to complete a minimum of eight trails from the beginning of September through the end of November. As mentioned in previous posts, we attempt this every year with the intention of finishing the spree and earning our hiking…
morning photo project 8.31.2009
Greg and I hiked 3.5 miles through the Sand Run Metro Park on Sunday morning. With temps in the high 50’s it felt like the end of summer and the beginning of fall. A transition that I look forward to every year. On a separate note, we are so fortunate to live in a community…
the journey has just begun
So today marks the end of my 12-week Weight Watchers session at work. I’ve lost 16.6 pounds in that time. Less than I’d hoped, but hey an average of a little over a pound a week is not too bad. Clothes aren’t fitting well, I’m down a pants size and at the last hole on…
