I've done a fair bit of traveling these past couple weekends on my own time in my quest to join the Marathon Maniacs by running two full marathons in 16 days or less. As such, I've got a few travel tips I'd like to pass on. My first one was the Portland Marathon in Portland, Oregon. I left my dog with a friend and drove down the day before, picked up my packet and walked around the city. Portland is not only a really lovely city, but extraordinarily walking-friendly, which...read more

The daily routine was rigorous. My body and mind worked together with the help of our Drill Sgt and the other NCO's...read more

When we met (5 years ago!) I did not think the relationship would turn into what it did at all, mainly since it would be a long distance relationship, during college, sounds not so fun. But then you fall madly in love and who cares? You just want to be with that person. But, it is much more than that....read more
