Exploring the adventure outside the box
After I crossed the finish line, I removed my Vibram Five Fingers and the cool cement suddenly became a welcome sensation to my sore feet. It was 46 degrees out there after all, and the cement was barely warming from the low in the 30s the night before. But at 9:50 a.m. when we were lining up, waiting for the siren to send us off on our journey, I wasn’t really sure I would be able to run the five... 
Turkey Day is now two days away. For most of us, that means prepping for some yummy turkey dinner, spending time with family and getting the credit cards ready for Black Friday. There are others, and I’m officially in this category this year, who will also take on a Turkey Trot trying to burn off some calories before stuffing our faces the rest of the day. The turkey trots vary in distance, and I had... 
Have you ever breathed under water? How about for an hour? Yea…I hadn’t before either, and it felt pretty weird.
I went to Cancun this week and when I found out I was going, the one ‘must do’ on my list was scuba diving. I wasn’t sure how I would set it up because there were a few different places that offered it, but I didn’t know how far they were from the resort, how...

My “home” route, which doesn’t really have a name, is just out around the neighborhood. I make a big boring loop most days which works out to about 1.2 miles. If I’m going for more, I’ll make another loop or run some of the streets through the middle of the loop. Sometimes if I’m looking to mix it up, I’ll go the other direction and head toward my grandma’s... 
After 4 years of geocaching, I’ve finally attended my first Mega event: Geowoodstock IX. I even dragged mom aka DeeDee44425, Vixen (my puppy), Lisa and Chelsea along. Honestly, I wasn’t all that impressed with the event. I’m not too much into the games and seminars so we didn’t even bother with those. After the games and seminars, all that was left was the vendors who sponsored the...
