by Eat. Play. Love.
posted January 24, 2011 at 12:34am

After our game on Wednesday night where we fell to Fribourg (by quite a bit), we found out we would have off from basketball for four days. I decided I needed to get away from Nyon for a little while. So, in the spur of the moment I decided to take a leap...more

What I have been doing these days…
by Alison M. Starnes Blog
posted January 23, 2011 at 4:12pm

To put it simply, I have compiled photographic evidence for what I have been doing lately. Went to the ranch... Met some new friends. Said "hi" to old friends. Riding my bike. Working on my tan. Taking it all in. Now you are all caught ...more

Somewhere there is a picture of my mother in curlers. The shot is vivid in my mind. The colors slightly faded, the way old pictures are. She a young woman, dyeing her blonde, with her hair up in big rollers covered in a net. She has the goofy look people...more

Drive versus desire
by Endurance Meg
posted January 9, 2011 at 11:55am

Desire: To wish or long for; want. There are many, many people out there with desires and dreams. In fact, I think you’ll be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t have a dream of some kind or another. Some people share their dreams with others op...more

posted January 4, 2011 at 10:09pm

I got some strange advice today. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it made a whole lot of sense. Right now I'm working with a certain level of ability but if you asked me if I thought that ability was being maximized, I'd tell you abs...more

Life: A reflection
by Byline to Finish Line
posted December 20, 2010 at 2:25pm

All week, my workouts were bound to the treadmill. And frankly, it didn’t feel like it was going so well. The treadmill is all about the numbers. The treadmill is artificial. Embracing the need for the treadmill is one thing. Remembering how to use it ...more
