Where I Climb Another Mountain
Almost three years ago, I climbed my first mountain. Honestly, it was so out of character that it was just as likely that I would commandeer the space shuttle, or become fluent in Swahili. Climbing anything was not really my … Continue reading
Frozen / First Hike of 2015
I’m not entirely sure how, but the VEB talked me into going for a hike this afternoon. Our high today was 27 degrees and there’s snow on the ground, and normally on a day like today you would find me … Continue reading

The One Where I Climb A Mountain
Over the past five months I’ve been going to yoga class regularly, plus become intimately acquainted with the elliptical machine at the YMCA and hiked around the area state parks. In the process, I’ve dropped about 40 pounds. I still … Continue reading
