Oh for the love of Mike! Did you hear the latest complaint about Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2? The folks over at The Clicker are shocked, shocked I tell you, that the storylines rarely have anything to do with Jenelle Evans being a mother.
In a story dubbed "Has Teen Mom Lost Its Original Message," the Today Show off-shoot criticizes the MTV reality show for trying to fit Jenelle's son Jace into the action. We're supposed to take this as proof that Jenelle and her co-stars are anything but the reality of teen parenting and join the chant to get Jenelle off the air, quick, quick!
Pardon me while I roll my eyes.
Do they even GET the show?
Yes, the Jenelle Evans we see on MTV is a crappy mother. We've seen her prioritize smoking weed, hanging out with her loser boyfriend, and even getting her boobs done over spending time with her own son. It's painful knowing that she's laughing all the way to the bank with those MTV checks for being on a show about teen motherhood ... when she doesn't do much mothering.
But I'm not sure what the folks at The Clicker -- or anyone of the people who insist Jenelle should be kicked off the show -- would prefer? First America gets pissed off that the show "glamorizes teen pregnancy." Now they're mad that they show a teen parent who actually sucks at teen parenting?
More From The Stir: Jenelle Evans Puts Plastic Surgery & Drugs Ahead of Her Son
They do realize that the likes of Kailyn Lowry and Chelsea Houska, who actually seem to really enjoy spending quality time with their kids, are only half the story, right?
We never see Jenelle with Jace or Jenelle being a "real mom" because her mother has custody of him. Just like the grandparents of 6 percent of the kids in America. Every day in this nation crappy parents lose custody of their kids, and grandmas and grandpas step in to care for them!
Love Jenelle Evans or hate her (and let's face it, plenty of America does that!), she's as real as her co-stars. Without her and her mom doing the "mothering" of her child, Teen Mom 2 would only tell half the story of teen pregnancy in America.
Fact: Jenelle Evans isn't destroying America by setting a bad example. America is already full of bad examples. They're off partying while Granny takes care of the kids.
Do you think Jenelle Evans needs to be taken off Teen Mom or is she just part of the story?

I suckered myself into picking these up today.
I have to admit, the ROTJ set looks like a decent set, price not withstanding. I would bet that this will be the first one to go.
Since none of these are unique at all, I at least don't need any openers of them, but I think I'm still going to feel inclined to grab two of each. 6 x $30 =
Well holy crap! Looks who's decided to grace us with his presence again after disappearing for a year and a half! Welcome back, Pete!
I wish the ROTJ set had included a TAC Stormtrooper or DS Trooper instead of Vader. Still, I'll get one if I can score it for cheap.
I think they could have done a better job not including ANY of the characters that had previously been in one of these tin sets.
This would have made the sets at least DISPLAY better with a better variety of characters across all 9 sets.

Despite cold weather punctuated by periods of rain he Bisons prevailed 8-2 Saturday afternoon in their home opener against Bradley at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium. The two teams plan to play a doubleheader Sunday beginning at noon.
It was the first win for the Bisons after losing four games on the road.
"It was fun to win and get on the right track after four tough ones," said Lipscomb coach Jeff Forehand.
Junior left-hander Rex Brothers, 1-1, earned his first win of the season as he struck out 11 batters in six innings. He shut down Bradley in the first five innings on one hit. He gave up two hits and two runs, one earned in the sixth.
This was the final tune-up for Brothers before starting next weekend in the first Atlantic Sun series at Mercer. Approximately 30 scouts were in attendance to watch Brothers on the mound.
"The conditions weren't very good, but it was good to see Rex get back out there," said Forehand. "He pitched really well."
Freshman Josh Cotham pitched the seventh inning, allowing only one hit. He struck out two batters.
Senior Kyle Tognazzini closed out the game with two scoreless innings. He gave up one hit and struck out one.
"A freshman, Josh Cotham, came in and held it for us in the seventh and gave it to Togs," said Forehand. "That's what we have been preaching. We were able to play to our scheme."
Designated hitter Justin Sanders had a game-high four hits, including a double and home run. He also had a game-high in runs batted in with three.
The Bisons finished with 11 hits. Sanders was the only Lipscomb player to have a multiple-hit game, but center fielder Allen Bolden and first baseman Tennyson Dodd each had a double.
"Justin has a good bat," said Forehand. "He has a lot of power. This year one of the biggest things is he is not getting himself out by swinging at off-speed pitches in the dirt. He is putting himself in a spot to get some good pitches."
The Bisons opened with a run in the first inning. With one out Bolden doubled. Sanders followed with a single to score Bolden.
In the fifth Sanders hit a solo home run to left field with one out to give the Bisons a 2-0 lead.
Tyler Wilson drove in two runs on a single in the sixth inning. Shortstop Branden Cadavid led off with a single. Second baseman Brad Gooch walked. Right fielder Channing Brown loaded the bases on a throwing error by the third baseman. Wilson singled to send Cadavid and Gooch home.
The Bisons added another run in the seventh and three in the eighth. Sanders, Wilkins and third baseman Clay Lehning each had an RBI in the inning.

As further evidence that Cerberus bit off far more than it expected with its purchase of Chrysler last fall, an internal memo revealed to the Free Press shows that the last few months have been even worse than Chrysler expected. In fact, June numbers are showing an industry-wide disaster looming, with total U.S. vehicle sales down 7 percent in April, 8 percent in May, and on pace to drop 20 percent in June to an annualized rate of only 12.5 million. The memo didn't specifically mention any additional cuts at Chrysler, but CEOs don't generally send e-mails warning of a looming industry crisis just before announcing across-the-board raises.
Attempting to close on a high note, Nardelli said "We have great vehicles to sell. And keep talking up our products to your family, friends and neighbors." Unfortunately, most of Chrysler employees' family, friends and neighbors are grappling with their own layoffs and foreclosures, so putting a new Sebring in the garage isn't a top priority.

tiny violet hand puff
its a tiny violet hand puff.. my latest design ♥
over 200 crocheted and felted violets are crammed and smushed together because i forced them to be in love with each other.
the inside of this little puff is lined with white purr-soft angora ♥
i wore it around my neck on a green velvet ribbon when i went to stonehenge overnight..... it kept my porpies so warm!
porpies are hands. danielle and i used to pretend our hands were dolphins and make them swim in the air... somehow porpoise porpoise turned to porpie porpie and it stuck. i still call them that always.
i think this little puff will come in handy in the fall... but i cant help that i finished it in the summer. i will like to wear it with a black coat.
when i said i fell down in a patch of violets i wasnt kidding. i was totally surrounded... i crocheted little violets like i was shelling peas... i tossed them in a little basket for months before i had enough.
want to make your own? ive written up the pattern
the pattern uses knitting & crochet and sport weight & chunky wool.
it is shaped so your hands kind of *pop* in just like a real victorian muff.
hehehe i said muff.

I am sooo glad he spread some light on the valley you were in. He has a way of doing that for people and I try to dedicate my days to scattering joy! My daughter (11) and I love your clothes! We would dress like this always, but, a bit hard to find fun clothes in our small town in Evansville, Wisconsin. We are getting creative though with what we find! Looked up more info on your music and trying to find where we can buy some and see you are from Wisconsin, too! Small, world!
Going to put on some of your songs and throw the roast in, so don't mind me I won't take up much room here! hee hee. So glad to know this joyous new spot dear! Take care little light!

Hello Fairy Friend, :-)
Now, this is a really lovely post!
I don't know how you have the patience to make all the little violets... You will have to show us how you create flowers. You could do a knitting video. That would be a great idea!
I would really like to know how to crochet flowers. :-)
Thank you for your magical message.
Have a good weekend.
Fairy love and blessings.xx

"over 200 crocheted and felted violets are crammed and smushed together because i forced them to be in love with each other."
That is adorable, amazing, just ahhh. XD

Recently, Dovey at Cute and Mundane posted a picture of her perfume sample collection. I thought it would be fun to show you my perfume samples.
I store all of my favorites in a votive holder I got from my mom (I think it was from her, but it has been with me for a long time). I am no perfume expert, but I will do my best to describe what I am enjoying lately.
I am loving Coach Poppy for a clean scent with a touch of fruity sweetness. Hanae Mori Butterfly is a sweet warm vanilla scent. It is one of my all time favorites, and I have a full sized bottle also. Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Enchanted is very sweet with a touch of warmth. It isn't one that I plan to purchase the full size of after I use my samples though.
Lancome La Vie Est Belle is a new favorite. It has a slightly warm floral scent when sprayed, but it dries down to a sweet vanilla. I am definitely getting a full size when this runs out! Betsey Johnson Too Too is a fruity and girly scent. I have a rollerball of it that I recently finished. Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb is a heavily spiced masculine scent, but it has an underlying warmth that makes it more unisex. Billionaire Boyfriend is clean and slightly warm, also a unisex scent.
Do you collect samples? I'd love to see them!

Kenny Chesney, 'El Cerrito Place' – Song Review
'El Cerrito Place' is the signature song on Kenny Chesney's new 'Welcome to the Fishbowl' album. Its release as a single makes certain the direction the singer has chosen for his future. Stadium anthems may be yesterday's news, replaced by revealing ballads that can be uncomfortable to listen to for the very first time.
That discomfort speaks to how successful Chesney is at delivering what might be the most emotional performance of his career. It's clear he's falling back on his own experiences as he tells the story of a man looking for his love and maybe his soul. Listeners are brought right into his pain and yearning, even without the 35-second instrumental introduction from the album. Credit Chesney for this, as the lyrics don't get good until what one could call the pre-chorus.
"And all these pretty people up on El Cerrito Place / They all got somethin' in their pockets, all got somethin' on their face / They roll down to La Brea where it meets the boulevard / Singing hallelujah while they dance over the stars," he sings.
This song has a long history in Nashville, as it's been previously recorded by Charlie Robison and Keith Gattis (Robison released it as a single in 2004). There was no doubt some pressure on Chesney to do the songwriter (Gattis) — and by extension, the songwriting community — proud.
On paper, the chorus doesn't look like much, but with the right expression it leaps from the speakers and burrows into any holes in one's heart. Grace Potter returns to help Chesney through the chorus. Her singing is especially valuable toward the end of the five-minute long song, during a verse that begins with:
"Somehow I wound up in the desert just after daylight / Where the Joshua trees grow that little place you always liked." The cold desert breeze almost chills your skin when she reaches for her high note and nails it.
"I'm still lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby / I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby / All night long / All night long, all night long," Chesney adds during the final chorus.
Chesney chooses louder production than any of the previous singers of this song, but his voice is more than sturdy enough to match the intensity. He lacks a little contempt for the people of El Cerrito Place (an area just north of Hollywood Blvd. in California), but has no trouble matching the hurt. That's really what we're to remember from this song, anyway.
Listen to Kenny Chesney, 'El Cerrito Place'

A Knock Out
A film by
Tessa Boerman
Samuel Reiziger
Netherlands, 2004, 53 minutes, Color, DVD, Subtitled
Order No. W05882
Boxing champion Michele Aboro grew up in South London, where life for a girl was never easy, let alone for a mixed-race lesbian girl. Thanks to her tenacious spirit and an uncanny talent for combat sports, she put her difficult past behind her and managed to sign a contract with the biggest boxing promoter in Europe. She won all 21 fights, 18 of them with a knockout - an exceptional achievement in women�s boxing. But despite her spectacular record in the ring, her career came to a sudden halt when her promoter broke her contract under the belief that she was not "promotable."
Refusing to vamp up her image and pose naked in magazines, this undefeated world champion was abandoned by an industry more interested in selling sex than sport. A KNOCK OUT interweaves Aboro�s personal story with interviews with boxers whose wild success strikes a painful contrast with Aboro's struggles. Searching for logic behind Aboro�s case, this poignant documentary captures a universal story of fighting for one's identity and offers a probing look at the intersection of gender, ethnicity, sexuality and the increased commercialization of women's sports.

paliga necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 145 diseños de 44 diseñadores freelance.
I simply need a logo for a House/Apartment website service called Nadoko. We create web pages for Houses/Apartments or Rooms that are for rent.
- I need a logo for a House and Apartment website service called Nadoko. We create web pages for Houses/Apartments or Rooms that are for rent.
- The site definitely goes for simplicity over complexity. So myguess is a simple and clean logo would be best. (I could be wrongthough).
- I would like the focus of the logo to be the word "nadoko"...(written in modern and FUN writing)....not another graphic,...complementing the word with a discrete house/apt. icon would be very nice though.
- In the vision that I have inside my head the letters aredifferent colors, but again, this is definitely not a must. (I amopen to anything)
- The logo (or a short form version of it)...will be stamped ontothe bottom of every page. So I will need the logo to be scalable (vector)....or will have to come in different sizes.
- The background that the logo will appear on is changeable,....soit has to have a transparent background and look decent on dark orlight colors.
- I would really appreciate having the option ofadding sub-text to the logo. (such as:" Apartment Listings inOttawa") Thus a font size/type would likely have to be disclosed of any sub-texted (or included )
- I am open to either "Nadoko" or "nadoko"
- In the future the site may offer online rent and online leasesolutions....but this shouldn't affect the logo too much I don'tthink.
- 3D logo that is fun
- editable text on the bottom to add a company slogan
- A nice clean logo that links Nadoko with --> House/Apartments/Rentals
- 3D logo that is fun
- all capitals letter...
- anything that to do with anime cartoons (i realize it may come with the name)

Hoosier Gun Swingers take 3rd at SCTP State Championships
WALKERTON — Three John Glenn students received third place in the Scholastic Clay and Target Program (SCTP) State Championships at the Kosko Conservation Club in Warsaw on June 30.
Isaac Keldsen, Thomas Rudecki and Sydney Carson competed in the American Style Skeet and Sporting Clays on June 29 and June 30, respectively.
"We were a little disappointed because we all could have shot better," commented Keldsen. " We were less than 15 targets from first place, which we win almost every year."
The trio are members of the Hoosier Gun Swingers, a group of school-aged kids from the area learning gun safety and the art of competitive shotgun clay target shooting as described on their website. The team competes in the SCTP and in USA Shooting, the governing body of Olympic Shooting Sports. The program is supported by Friends of Hoosier Gun Swingers, a non-profit group of dedicated volunteers.
The team will continue on the the 2013 SCTP National Team Championships in Sparta Illinois on July 15-20.
"Our varsity won last year, and we hope to follow their footsteps," continued Keldsen. "There will be roughly 10,000 competitors competing in the three disciplines."
The SCTP is a youth development program providing young people with a positive experience in sports. Two indispensable elements are incorporated into the design of activities — safety and fun. Youth from elementary grades through high school are eligible to participate in the safe, educational and enjoyable SCTP clay target sports of Trap, Skeet, Sporting Clays, Olympic Trap, and Olympic Skeet.
SCTP is a part of the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation, Inc. a non-profit educational-athletic organization providing administrative support and direction for SCTP as chosen by the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

Kelly Clarkson Talks 'Duets' + 'Dark Side'
Kelly Clarkson is a busy gal. While she recently revealed that she loves the fact that her new management lets her have a life, it doesn't mean she's not working her butt off — the 'American Idol' alum has a new song about to hit radio, a new TV show and a new romance to balance. She dished to Billboard on what sets 'Duets' apart from other musical competition shows and why she loves her new single, 'Dark Side.'
'Dark Side' is set to hit radio tomorrow (May 21), and Clarkson is already slated to promote it in two big ways. "We've already shot a video and I'll be doing it on 'Dancing With the Stars,'" she revealed. Clarkson will also perform 'Dark Side' in a mashup with her hit 'Stronger' tonight (May 20) at the Billboard Music Awards.
Clarkson is super excited about 'Duets,' in part because she met a lot of actors and actresses at the ABC Upfronts. When Clarkson met the casts of 'Once Upon a Time' and 'Modern Family,' she gushed, "I had a complete 10-year-old moment! I acted like an idiot. I completely nerded out."
How did she pick out her singers, Jordan Meredith and Jason Farol, for 'Duets?' I found them from video submissions — I wanted everybody to have equal opportunity," she told Billboard. "They sound very different. What drew me to them was the raw talent factor and the tone. (Farol) has this old soul voice. She's been one of the only ones to show versatility — she's done country, blues and pop." Sounds a lot like Kel!
Clarkson also revealed why she chose to do 'Duets' over the countless other shows she's been offered. "ABC approached me at an awards show and they sold it to me as an awards show," Clarkson said. "Basically the best parts (of awards shows) are collaborations, like performing with Jason Aldean on the Grammys. That doesn't happen a lot. When Tim McGraw and Nelly did that song together and you're like 'whhaaaat?' and somehow it worked," she added. "I think those are the best parts of the shows and I love that they have based a whole show on that, the collaborative process."
Clarkson's penchant for live covers definitely influenced her song choices for the show. "I love doing songs by other people, especially when it has added meaning," she said. "For this generation, 'Jagged Little Pill' was so relatable, and singing 'Perfect' or 'Mary Jane' (made sense for me). I love covering a song that means something to me, whether it's a fun party song where you got drunk at a bar and were like 'This would be great to sing' or if it's just a sweet moment like 'Why' by Annie Lennox," she added. "I think it's so awesome. We've made the songs their own, catered to them production wise."
The first five episodes of 'Duets' have already been pre-taped. The competition will begin to go live on June 28 for the last four episodes. The winner will receive a record deal from Hollywood Records. Clarkson's fellow coaches are Jennifer Nettles, Robin Thicke and the smack-talking John Legend.

So Very Restless
8 comments:
Dear Rheuma Girl,ReplyDelete
Thank you for your positive and upbeat spirit. You are a bright light in the land of bloggers. As someone diagnosed at age 44, my heart goes out to you with your young onset at only 22. I truly hope you find the right combination of medications, (etc!) to put you in remission, or at least give you a better quality of life. Good luck on your book!!! You're a fantastic writer with interesting style and you have a powerful message to share. Have a blessed and meaning-filled Christmas! Hope you find LOTS to do and do it in comfort!

Thank you for your comments. Alice, i appreciate you do not wish to use medication to control your disease however as im sure you can appreciate alot of my readers suffer with severe forms of arthritis which cannot be kept under control without it (including myself). Using medication does not mean under any circumstances that you will die young and im not sure where you have read this, i am sure doctors would not recommend taking tablets if this was the case and i would rather live a life without much suffering and protect my disease from being constantly active than be in constant pain and just accept it as i am sure my readers would agree. I think it is completely up to the indiviual if they choose other methods but in my case, drugs are the only option along with a healthy lifestyle. I think we have enough to worry about without being scared into thinking we cannot chose to treat our conditions with medication. However if this method works for you then great but for the more severe cases people may not have so much of a negative view on medication if it helps. At the end of the day life is too short anyway to live a life of suffering and the amount of scaremongering out there is frightening enough, my 'deadly cocktail' of drugs keeps me healthy and able to move and thats all i ask for right nowReplyDelete
Well said Kerrie. I have been told by many well intentioned people that a diet or exercise or even mind over matter will help me control my pain etc. Unfortunately this is simply not true particularly if you have severe RA. As for cross stitch my poor hands wouldn't be able to hold the needles! I can barely hold a cup!ReplyDelete
I agree with you, work keeps the mind busy and even though there are plenty of days I moan about getting up at 6am every week day once I'm there I feel much better. I was feeling grumpy because it's Sunday night but your post has reminded me to be thankful that I have my job and am able to still do it. I sincerely hope you can get back to some sort of employment in the new year. Merry Christmas!ReplyDelete
Hello KerrieReplyDelete
Yes can completely agree with there!
I have Psoriatic Arthritis (similar to RA) and have been on a similar, yearlong roller coaster ride of pain.
I too take a daily "deadly cocktail" of drugs to try and control this and lead a semi normal live (have not quite got there yet!) and believe me Alice, if I had any choice in this, would not be shoving down these drugs daily!
When you have very severe arthritis, you have to do what you can to try and get your health and life back on track and this involves taking medication.
There is no evidence to say that for all of us currently taking these drugs, we are going to die young - I think that is a very uneducated and dangerous comment to make for someone who has a very serious disease like Kerrie, myself and many others ... where the luxury of choice of treatment is not really an option.
My aunt, who is 60 and was diagnosed at 37 with RA, is living proof of this - yes she still has to take drugs but she has adapted and makes the best of the good days and loves to travel when she can.
You mention Alice that you have changed your life in 3 years and control the pain 80% of the time - it would be more useful for us to hear how you did this?
Hi Kerrie I have just read your blog from start to finish and feel like you were taking the words out of my own mind. I have been suffering mildy for over a year but the last couple of months have hit me like a sledge hammer, especially in my old lady hands which are now starting to twist up and my bloodly left knee is the bane of my life. I know too well how hard it is to get out of bed somedays, and other are fine until all of a sudden you could just lie down in the street to sleep. My doctors have had me see a round of surgions hoping my condition was carpal tunnel, but of course it is RA. I have my first rhumotologist appointment on new years eve so am hoping this will be a good start to the new year. I hope they can do somthing soon before it gets any worse. Today I picked up a copy of Company, a mag I never buy, only to read a letter someone had wrote in about your article, thank you for being so brave to write this blog it is comforting in a strange way to know you are not alone in this, although awful, so awful to read someone is suffering too and your case is much worse than mine. I am only 29.ReplyDelete
I also write a blog, on fashion, it is my armour in a way, but drop me a line if you want any more publicity for your Fashion show I would be happy to post about it if that would help!
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas,
p.s Codine Coma - so, so true x

Like you I became severely ill in April of 2010, I had been feeling generaly unwell for a long time, but woke one morning unable to get out of bed as the pain was so extreme. Rounds of hospital appointments followed before I got the diagnosis of RA with the addition of Osteoarthritis as well. I beleive that like you, my condition was as a reaction to repeated viral infections, with the addition of stress (as I type this I have yet another infection)! Both my parents had died the previous year, my mother having been housebound through RA for many years. Unlike you I do not have the blessing of family around, so have had to rely on good friends to help me through. Shortly before RA was confirmed my marriage of over 20 years ended and it has been my 2 dependant children that has forced me on during my darkest hours, as I am all that they have. I'm glad 2010 is behind me, and hope that the cocktail of drugs I cannot function without, will in time, get me well enough to allow me to find employment. If people make misguided comments about RA sufferers being on benefits, then I can only say that they are most fortunate in never ever experiencing the pain and utter dispair that this debilitating disease brings. I wish you well on your journey and sincerely hope that 2011 is a better year for us both !ReplyDelete

I have a friend wanting to get into windsurfing. He lives in Bel Marin Keys (Novato) and would be launching from his dock in the back yard!!
Kiting wouldn't be very practical without boat assistance.
He keeps bugging me for help, but I have no experience with windsurfing and thought I'd ask here. He's about 180lbs and winds can get in the 15-20+ range in the afternoons.
Any recommendations on gear to get and where (board size, sail size(s))?
As far as learning, steer him toward instruction (Boardsports, Cal Sailing Club, ?), or just let him wing it?
Check out the setup, so jealous every time I go to his house!

Where would an American fugitive run to flee the long arm of the law? You can see some shameful stories on "American Greed: The Fugitives."
Legal and law-enforcement experts won't comment on "best" hideouts, but they do note that in a foreign country, local police must do the arresting; U.S. diplomatic relations with local law enforcement agencies are critical to extradition.
About 100 countries (some listed here) don't have extradition treaties with the U.S. An American fleeing American justice could hide in plain sight in any one of them. The only problem is, many are rife with poverty and disease—at best unpleasant and at worst intolerable.
Most countries in the Western hemisphere do have extradition treaties with the U.S. So maybe some risk of extradition is worth living in a more pleasurable environment.
What follows is an unscientific list of the 10 hideaway cities for Americans on the lam. It was calculated using a matrix of risk/pleasure factors, including whether or not countries have extradition treaties with the U.S. and how good relations are; size of city population and ease of getting "lost"; and these subjective factors: how westernized the city is and activities and culture available in the city.

Welcome to my blog and the place where I will post my photos and musings from my life as an ultrarunner. My nickname "Shining" was given to me by a group of very special students after I finished my first 100-miler, the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100. They were the inspiration that enabled me to finish this awesome race, and I try to live each day with a "shining" attitude!

Running with Bill, Babes, and a Birthday Boy!
Annette wrote about a birthday run she went on this past weekend, and now it's my turn!
My good friend, training partner, and fellow VHTRC peep Quatro Hubbard turned 49 on Saturday. He came into town for the UVA/Florida State b'ball game and we planned to meet up with Bill, Bess, and Robin for a jaunt up to the AT from Sugar Hollow---one of my fave trails. Q brought along a friend, Stephi, who is going to Boston this April on a 3:40 BQ. She is also a 2007 JFK 50 finisher so I knew she would be cool with the 18 miles I had planned---at least I hoped so!
When I arrived at the Sugar Hollow parking lot, the gang was ready to go. I took the obligatory pre-run photo (above---there's my puppy Jack, Robin, Bill, Bess, Q and Stephi) and we were off. I was PSYCHED to have some new trail running friends along for this run, and we had fun making our way up the trail and across the streams, which were low and easy to navigate in dry shoes (at least most were). The photo below shows the group trying in vain to cross without total show immersion
while Bill finally showed us how it's done ultra-style:
and Q showed us the "tinky-toes" approach:
We hammered up to the AT on the 20-minute climb from the final creek crossing, running all the way up:
and celebrated at the top (that's the Trayfoot Mountain ridgeline in the background):
Bill, Robin, and Bess were planning to run up to the top of the Blackrock Gap overlook and back down to the cars for a 14-miler; Q, Stephi and I opted for the 18 circuit that took us south on the AT to Turk Mountain and then back to our cars. I ran this route many times last summer in prep for Grindstone, and neither Q nor Stephi had ever run this loop---later, Q commented, "Why have you been keeping this run a secret?" as he was having a blast on the sweet, runnable singletrack and fast downhills:
Actually, I blogged about this run last summer--when you add the extra 4 miles of the Rip Rap trail, you have the makings of a perfect mountain training run. It wasn't in the training plan to knock off a 21-miler after last weekend's 25 miler, but we will be back for Rip Rap---Stephi loved it as well and is hoping to break 3:30 at Boston, so Rip Rap will be a perfect prep long run for her, as it has 5,000 total feet of climb for the 21 miles---enough to make Heartbreak Hill feel like an ant hill, I would guess!
I brought Jack along for his longest run to date. He loved every minute of it and was very much a mama's boy, waiting for me at every turn. He is becoming a true ultra dog and Nuun ambassador (thanks for the bottle, Mikey Mason)!
Along the way we had glorious winter views
and came upon some serious beaver work-in-progress
At the end, the sun came out and we celebrated Q's big day with a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday" in Greenberry's---the barristas were dancing behind the counter and the entire place sang along with us. Good times, good times with new and old friends on an awesome trail!!
Birthday shout outs to Keith Knipling and Mike Bur, who celebrate their big day tomorrow...but I am sure they celebrated appropriately today while at the Eagle Run. Here are all the birthday guys together after Keith's Ring CR last September--l-r, Bur, Keith and Q:
