I look forward to reading your post in a year or two encouraging the next newby runner. Have fun and good luck!

If you’ve ever thought about completing a marathon, I promise you this: you can do it.
Just don't show her the video you took with your phone as a way of explaining exactly where the malfunction is.
I grew up in Dallas and was a senior in HS in 1989. We went to South Padre for spring break that year and happened to arrive just as the Matamoros killing became public. It was a seriously freaky juxtaposition: the wild, irresponsible hedonism of senior year spring break and the legitimate fear of being hauled off in…
It was a spur of the moment thing; very little advance planning...
Sadly, I would find that near impossible. VP candidates are almost always chosen to round out the ticket - to appeal to the part of the base that is not inclined to like the main candidate . Think JFK and LBJ. If Hillary gets the nomination, the odds of a double woman ticket are exceedingly small. If Bernie gets it,…
If not for the glaring absence of a bright red sash to give the ensemble a bit of oomph, the top pic looks like it's from Gay Les Miz.
I went to what is regarded as the best private school in Dallas and one of the best in the country. In the last several days, a large number of alumni have been encouraging/challenging the school to extend an offer to Ahmed. He would be an excellent addition to a truly wonderful school, one that changed the entire…
My mom gets the credit for this one, not me.
I'm pretty sure the heartbeat - or lack thereof - would be fairly apparent if that was the usual nurse's get-up.
When she called to complain, the customer service rep just sighed and said, “Who can it be now?”
That joke’s a keeper.
When they start looking for someone to supply the body, they better not come noggin at my door.
Not as bad as getting caught peeking at 17.
One of the main characters in The Long Walk has the same first name as me. It's an incredibly rare name - I've only ever heard of one other person having it outside of my family - and I've always wanted to know how he came to use that name. If I ever meet him...
Guilty.
If they haven’t been already, I am sure lawsuits in California asserting claims under it’s broad unfair competition, false advertising, and consumer legal remedies act statutes will come in a flood. I litigate those types of cases on a regular basis (typically on the defense side) and this situation is tailor made for…
You can’t blame Michael Owen for being a bit nervous. It's been awhile.
“Strive to win” what, though? If it just means each game, then, sure, it’s a violation. But if its strive to win the entire tournament, one could argue this was well within the rules. Is it functionally different than a sacrifice bunt to advance a runner? In both scenarios, you’re purposefully failing to increase the…
So, if certain acts are immoral but its unquestionably moral to use information that can be obtained from the immoral act, does that mean Dr. Carson has no ethical concerns whatsoever with the use of the data obtained by Dr. Mengele from his “experiments” during WWII? In other words, am I to conclude from this that…
