		<title>Help Someone Else to Help Yourself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I got an email from someone who found me from reading Cosmopolitan Urbanist. I don&#8217;t know if he found the blog, then found me on LinkedIn or he found me on LinkedIn and clicked through to the blog. I guess for the purposes of this story, it doesn&#8217;t matter.
He found me, read my [...]]]></description>

		<title>It’s Summer Tiiimmmmeeee! A marathon training update.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where I complain
It is officially hot as blazes in Atlanta. That means near-hell temperatures, and the sun reflecting off of any surface, except the black asphalt trails and streets that I run on—those absorb the heat, and are hot enough to cook bacon and eggs. And oh, my. Any hint of moisture in the air [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I run</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since starting training, I’ve only missed one Saturday group run. It was June 5th. I missed it because I was helping one of my best friends get married.
On June 7th I got an email from Team in Training. It was the speaker from the kick-off party.  She was apologizing for her behavior at the June [...]]]></description>

		<title>College or Not, Life or Not- Chose your own adventure style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[AKA: In which I consider whether college is a waste of time (and rant just a little bit)
Some people, I’m sure, slide out of their mother’s womb knowing what they want to be when they grow up.  Others, likewise, by age 3 or 4 have discovered a talent that has family members nodding and saying, [...]]]></description>

		<title>You wouldn&#8217;t know by looking at her</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The week before I started training with Team in Training, I attended their season kick-off. There were several speakers, some talking about the training and others talking about their connection with blood cancers.  One speaker in particular touched my heart. She was about my age, tall, blond, and pretty.  She talked about the weeks leading [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Met a Wise Man at the Bridal Shop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[AKA I must have Divinity School Stamped On My Forehead
Last week I spent some time in a bridal shop getting a dress altered for a wedding that I’m in. Standing still while letting someone poke straight pins into a garment that you are wearing is awkward and uncomfortable.  The seamstress was tried to engage me [...]]]></description>

Last Thursday, I ran  into my homeless lady friend as I was leaving work. I had a few bags of  chips in my lunch bag, so I figured I’d stop and say hi, and give her  some food.  As I approached her, I smiled and asked her [...]]]></description>

You may be asking yourself why I’m telling you about this particular run….
