This week provided a few different challenges for running goals. On one hand, my travel was extended due to a snow storm and I had meetings all day that interrupted my training plans. On the other, I signed up for a 50k run in Moab with relatively little training. Both could pose very real challenges … Continue reading First ultra of 2018 – This week in beef, running and travel
You Can’t Drown – this week in beef, running, and travel
You can't reach your goals if you don't get started. And two weeks in, I am sticking with it, even with challenges of work meetings and travel. Running was a bit of a challenge with icy roads for a few days, but a treadmill and audiobooks saved the day. Vision without action is merely a … Continue reading You Can’t Drown – this week in beef, running, and travel
How to travel on a budget
I have no family at home or major ties that keep me at home every night. So instead of buying things, I invest my money and flexible time into travel experiences. Like my trip last week to Arizona. I find myself lucky to be able to work on the road. And I've discovered how to … Continue reading How to travel on a budget
Christmas Wish List: Experiences Not Things
When family members requested my Christmas Wish List this past month, I had a very difficult time coming up with items.

I also dedicated much of … Continue reading Christmas Wish List: Experiences Not Things
Lonesome Wyoming Roads – The Road Goes On Forever
The Road Goes On Forever and the party never ends... Robert Earl Keen This sight gets me excited. Such a lonesome and open road has such a story to tell. There are many changes in terrain, many antelope to watch, and even a few ranchers driving a herd of cattle down the road to new pasture. … Continue reading Lonesome Wyoming Roads – The Road Goes On Forever
Customer Service Hits and Misses
Because I've had a few highs and lows on the customer service train this week...Southwest Airlines is "Sky High" with their customer service. No hitches or bumps in the road (minus the turbulence from the Tropical storm in the Gulf, but that's no one's fault) booking my flights or receiving regular updates on flight status. The curbside … Continue reading Customer Service Hits and Misses
Traveling Times
Southwest airlines was awesome to me last week. 4 flights, nothing was lost, everything was on time (minus a bit of rerouting at the end, but what ya gonna do about a hurricane?). Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Texas all look different from the sky. Taking off and landing are like a ride … Continue reading Traveling Times
Photo Friday: Life from a Cardboard Box
This week has been crazy stupid. I've done more packing, traveling, and driving around town than I really care to do. I moved out of my house, threw my junk in a storage unit and carried a few cardboard boxes and my clothes to my dad's house. Traffic in town is crazy since public schools … Continue reading Photo Friday: Life from a Cardboard Box
