Last May 10, 2007, I wrote a post where I updated everyone on all those times that I said, “I’ll write more later” and never actually did. I’ve spent some time going through the posts from that date until today, to see if anything else needed some updating. It did: May 21, 2007: This is [...]

4. The South Hills Mall
Lest there be any doubt that I’m a Jersey girl, yesterday’s activity was a trip to the mall. Sadly, the indoor shopping options in this region are not great.

3.1 miles to glory
This coming Saturday, I’m running in a 5K race. It starts on the West side of the Hudson River, crosses the Mid-Hudson bridge, and lands at the YMCA. It’s my first race since breaking my ankle. I didn’t want to do it alone, and since I didn’t think any of my kickball posse would be [...]
