I've moved...

I have moved my blog to wordpress to make it easier to actually keep up on, since my other blog is there. I hope you'll pop on over and say hello. I promise to actually try!

After just a tiny hiatus...

Oh, what’s that – blogs are supposed to be things you tend to regularly?

 If this blog were a garden, if would be dust or weeds. And yet I am back! I have a lot of reasons why I let it flounder (I’m lazy, Nat broke his ankle, I work like all the time) but what good are any of those. Instead, what if I just started writing again. And maybe this time, photos.

 In the time since I've abandoned my efforts here, we have also abandoned The Amazing Race. Not the dream -- the dream is alive and well -- but our Sunday's stopped making room for the show. I ran a half marathon. And the warrior dash - a ridiculously muddy event that left permanent scars on my shins. I put on a 30 pound pack and hit the Pacific Crest Trail, and two days late paid the price for my overambitious hiking schedule (18 miles a day?) with huge blisters and a call to my mom from a remote campsite.

 The point being -- I may have abandoned the blog; I may have stopped watching other teams live my dream each week; but I kept up the training, and I plan to get us race ready.
