After preparing some homework for accounting, I returned home and put my running shoes on and headed out for the trail. I did my usual course of 5 miles out and 5 miles back with about a 2-minute rest at the half-way mark. I’m feeling my pace grow more consistent and my endurance is improving. [...]

I never realized how much work this going back to school was going to be. I never remember having worked this much and being so prepared for each and every day. Here, we’re expected to have read all the material assigned, given it quite a bit of thought, prepared cases in some instances, written our [...]

Today at lunch I attended an 80 minute interactive seminar on how to develop a better personal sales pitch. The speaker was a Wharton MBA alum and she’s currently involved with executive coaching. Not only was she great at presenting her information, she made it fun and interesting and got us thinking about many the [...]

I got back to Center City a bit earlier than expected this afternoon so I took advantage of it by heading up to Falls Bridge. The out-and-back was a smooth 10 miles and I held a very consistent pace. I noticed that I was almost up to my normal pace I hold for a 6 [...]

I headed out today in the late afternoon for a run. I only had two classes today and I wanted to take advantage of the little bit of free time I had in my schedule. I’m considering running a half-marathon this Sunday so I was pushing the pace a bit more than normal. It helped [...]

This weekend has become increasingly miserable due to the fact that I’ve picked up a cold. After the concert on Friday night, I awoke on Saturday feeling pretty bad. I had a terrible sore throat but no drainage. Now my nose is running like crazy but the throat is a bit better. It’s tough to [...]
