Well, I’m back in cold and wet Seattle now! I flew in from Athens to Portland, Oregon last Friday and went straight for the coast to attend the birthday party of a very dear friend. I have to admit, there is a certain cachet in dropping into a weekend beach party direct from Athens … [...]

So Monday was a wash in terms of getting any significant after action report done. Sunday was a lot more physically taxing than I expected so Monday was relegated to a recovery day. Take home message: if you want to run with the Big Dogs, you need to get off the d*mn porch more often! [...]
