Pean's Adventures in the Big City http://peanutstephy.com Just puttin' it out there...

Lips shall be red, nails shall be polished, heels shall be high, and through it all, my skin shall remain remarkably pale.  Nothing like a ... http://peanutstephy.com/?p=174 “A Canadian is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe.” - Pierre Burton Though I'm not sure of her abilities in that department (the whole canoe thing being an uncertainty), I am confident of her abilities on the track.  Cheers to K this weekend, may she run her 3K swift and graceful as always.  Fingers crossed and big love.  Sincerely, Your anti-nationals team captain.  :)   P.S. I'll ... http://peanutstephy.com/?p=167 “If you suffer, thank God! It is a sure sign that you are alive.” –Elbert Hubbard A five mile run in this... Makes you feel like this...

I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything, and in many things I don’t know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we’re here, and what the question might mean. I might think about a little, but if I can’t figure it out, then I go to something else. But I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me.” - Richard Feynman Even the smallest hand can infinitely inspire, and point you in the right direction...toward a life you were meant to lead, yet unaware of at the time. Happy Birthday, Hazen. http://peanutstephy.com/?p=153 “I’m learning to be brave in my beautiful mistakes.” - Pink Here's to Marilyn and the Ferrari/Maserati of Long Island family....HAHA.  I felt the need to mark this occasion, as well as the day I decided to take yet another leap---only from a higher cliff this time.   I'll let you know if the net appears.... :) http://peanutstephy.com/?p=148 “Run like hell and get the agony over with.” –Clarence DeMar This was something I would expect to hear before a particularly hard run, or a race maybe, but not during what I like to call a "fake-out" run.  Normally, my "fake-outs" are fun, I go at an easy pace (b/c it's usually a day i'm not feeling particularly energized) for as ... http://peanutstephy.com/?p=138 Little Miss Muffet who sat on her tuffet, eating something you haven’t heard of (probably)… I was recently catching up with the lovely Miss KJB about medicine, running, and life in general, when she introduced me to what she refers to as "super food." Quinoa (KEEN-wah) is a Peruvian seed, and is often employed as a grain in cooking.  However, compared to regular, old, boring ... http://peanutstephy.com/?p=127 “I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.” - Anais Nin ....it's true, I have made no New Years resolutions once again.  I think since I am always in an active state of "reinventing" myself (similar to Madonna, sans the cone-shaped leather bras/whips and chains), and trying to decide what I can offer to our tiny world in the vast expanse of what is called ... http://peanutstephy.com/?p=116 “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” - Alby Einstein My mind has been occupied with studying, and trying to conceive of a way to make it through the winter without losing my mind.  So, in lieu of running (b/c it seems that this week, it was next to impossible on some days due to snow), I have taken to ... http://peanutstephy.com/?p=104 Joyeux Anniversaire Happiest Birthday wishes to Sammy Makamoto as he turns the big 3-0 (?).  We love you, Prada shoes and all....
