Every morning in Africa, an antelope wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion, or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest antelope, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or an antelope -- when the sun comes up, you'd better be running. -African proverb

Up, up, and away!

It's getting harder and harder to keep up with this blog.  I have so very little free time these days -- it's hard to squeeze in any extra writing, and it's hard to squeeze in anything to write about!  I had to miss one of my favorite runs this weekend -- the balloon run.  Instead I was in class learning all about survey research.  I still got a great long run in this week, though (20 miles on Friday morning).  And, I at least got to see the balloons.  Here's the view from Education building at UNR.  Looking forward to viewing the balloons from the road next year!

The air is the air that Angels breathe

Worth every step to get up here!  Love the Tahoe Rim Trail!

Fun on the 4th! And the 5th!


The Fourth of July is one my favorite days of the year!  I ran the Big Blue Adventure race again this year, but this year I ran the 5K instead of the 10K.  Won my age group and placed 4th overall!  It was a solid effort, and more importantly, lots of fun!

Then on Saturday I ran my new favorite Tahoe trail -- the Incline Flume.  A perfect start to my favorite time of the year!

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood!

Finally! We're all moved into our new house, and a couple of classes that I am teaching ended.  Not only have I had a chance to breathe this week, but I was also finally able to get in a great trail run.  One of things I love best about summertime in Tahoe is trail running.  Starting this summer off on the Emigrant!
