The life and times of a beautiful cynic.

I like to smile.

I like music, coffee and starry nights in Ohio summers.

Beer and pizza is a sixth food group for me.

I am too passionate for my own good. This trend gets me in trouble.

I, however, like trouble.

today, i ran 12.8 miles.

i was only gunning for 12 and had i realized i was that close to a half, i would have done the last .3. it was a little hot (84 in ohio, are you serious, march!) but it was a great run. i really feel like i’ve been accomplishing something lately. this is the longest run i have ever done and i don’t feel like someone hit me with a dump truck! flying pig, i cannot wait for you!

I spent the last hour looking at puppies/dogs on craigslist just because. I got our baby through cl/labradoodle rehoming site. Every day I am grateful for this face.
