It seems silly to go to a park reserve to run on asphalt, but it was still a blast. She hauled ass most of the way, attached to Lumpy. There's a couple of photo contests that ... http://www.tootsandsally.com/2008/09/06/runner-g-flies/ Sorry, not about TAS, it was about my canoe trip. I told everyone that I was going to try to get us on the show about our trip. Think about it...6 women, totally different backgrounds, experience, comfort levels, only a few knew each other prior...and we conquered a bit of ... http://www.tootsandsally.com/2008/09/04/1021/ Since it's been phenomenally cool and wonderful here in Minnesota, I've been able to run Miss G lately. I've missed it very, very much. This canoe trip greatly proved to me that I missed running my dog and canoing with my Lumpy. Lumpy and I took the Old Town out ... http://www.tootsandsally.com/2008/09/02/runner-g-is-back-if-only-temporarily/ I somehow put these women at the back of my mind after the trip actually happened. We met these women while we were on the way to our put in point at a little mom and pop gas station/store/ice cream place, talked about all the women's photos on their van, ... http://www.tootsandsally.com/2008/08/29/first-nation-women/ For the second time, in Jensen Lake, Lebanon Hills park. Just wasn't paying enough attention. Here's the funny part: I used an old volleyball roll to not really hurt myself. It's called a barrel roll, and frankly, I hated it when I played. I always sprawled or used an over ... http://www.tootsandsally.com/2008/08/28/i-fell-again/ On Sunday, 8/24/08, I was back at The Great Minnesota Get Together for my yearly gig. And well, just like last year I was inclined to partake of the very very special State Fair Fare...this year's results: [gallery=3] http://www.tootsandsally.com/2008/08/26/yeah-lumpy-needs-to-run-this-off/ These are some direct quotes, some are casual observations that I have had since I've been back in "civilization;" "Oh my Gawd; my bathwater is GRAY." (First bath after my return) "We could seriously sell all this fur on the floor to someone who could weave." Things are so loud. I have a great ... http://www.tootsandsally.com/2008/08/25/random-thoughts-upon-my-return/ Tomate dusted off my mountain bike (it's been about a year since that poor thing has seen the light of day) and we decided to go for a ride at the Mission Park Trails.  Tomate has actually been riding quite a bit since he volunteered to be a pacer during the ... http://www.tootsandsally.com/2008/08/23/mission-trails/ 16 days with no shampoo/soap and I still look the same... Well, I've grieved Pito, slept on many dubious surfaces, worried about being raped, almost gotten thrown from a boat, but I'm home. I'm exhausted, due to having not slept much in the last 48 hours, and I've got so much to ... http://www.tootsandsally.com/2008/08/23/i-have-great-hair/
