chiarunner &bull Jul 15, 2010
As an avid proponent of the Grand Rapids Marathon, I believe that this would be an excellent opportunity to personally offer me a discounted entry fee. I have sung your praises on multiple marathon forums, diet websites, hell, I even… Full Story »

Bump on Me Noggin
chiarunner &bull Mar 10, 2010
Photo lovingly borrowed from AustinBike.com. Well, they captured all the pretty bits... I added the bubble talk. I'll admit it, I settled for a rather lackluster position at one of my favorite companies on Earth for no better reason than… Full Story »

So... ya... Hai...
chiarunner &bull Aug 10, 2009
My ever-so-lax approach to marathon training has apparently carried over to my ever so inconsistent ability to actually compose then post anything on this little realm of the internets... Oye. Where do I begin? I'm in the midst of manic job search at the moment... put in for like… Full Story »
