Simplify Your Life
April 14, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 16 Comments
A recent change in personal circumstances was a catalyst for me to me to consider change in my life or, perhaps more accurately, changing my life. I’m hoping to get ideas on ways to simplify one’s life – from tips regarding minimizing time spent on mundane everyday tasks to reprioritizing and overhauling one’s entire life. [...]
On the Ball [and Not]
August 6, 2007 by Bryon Powell · 2 Comments
My running week sucked last week. Maybe I decided to take a break between a long day and a track day. Track day didn’t happen on Tuesday as I worked too late. Ran five but didn’t work out on Wednesday. No run on Thursday as I worked until the last metro home (nearly midnight). Friday [...]
Oh, Woe is Me, My Life Is So Hard

So after work tonight, I have to go to some swanky Asian-Latin fusion restaurant for an “optional” dinner with the other associates at The Firm. They’re all good folk and the food is sure to be great, but the weather is great, too. Truth be told, I’d rather go home and run a workout. Oh [...]
Weak Weeks/Feeling the Heat/Depression
July 10, 2007 by Bryon Powell · 2 Comments
To start, after a few good training weeks, my two previous running weeks have been awful. I think I missed three days two weeks ago and am pretty sure that I missed four last week, including three in a row this week. Sure, I had stuff going on, but that’s no excuse. I’ve made time [...]

Anyone else for eliminating July from the calendar? Be gone ye vile month of steamidity and gawdawfulness. Go back to the unimaginably horrid place from which you surely came. Back, back [...]
My Best Days

My best days end up with me dirty, sore, and exhausted. Those days are satisfying. I love those days. Laurel Highlands was one of those days and so was yesterday. I never made it out for my 20 mile morning run, but did work outside in my gardens from 11 until 7 and then spent [...]
… Come in Threes

Today, I had three memorable firsts. (1) I made my first mortgage payment. Only 359 to go. :-) And since I’m in the process of breaking through the running/non-running life barrier with this entry, perhaps I should post some house pictures soon. (2) I purchased my first piece of art. I found this in Cloud [...]
