I just read your blog post on Answering Oliver about running without music… I’m going to try it out on my next run…I am on the same page with you about what running does for me and I think not listening to music is the only element missing from finding that total peace you wrote about. Such a great post worded very beautifully! My mission on my Friday run is officially going to be Operation Notice! :)

Oh, Shannon. I already you were a sweetheart, but this is just the nicest message!

Thank you so much for your kind words about In the silence, I notice. I’m glad to hear that you’re going to try running without music – let me know how it goes!

It took me a while to get used to it, but I’d never go back.

P.S. I will see you in VEGAS! Wooo!

I played my first softball game since last summer on Tuesday night. I’d been skipping games to train for the half. The team is undefeated, baby!!

Let me tell you, today I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. Arms are sore, shoulders are sore, random body parts that have never been sore are sore.

But guess what? That all means I hit the damn ball every time I batted. Wooo-hooo!

Aaron hit a home run. I was so proud!
