Top Commenters

I implemented the Top Commenters plugin, although I had to make a few changes to it to make sure that it worked the way that I want it to. It will not show anybody who hasn’t posted at least twice, and it will not show trackbacks. That way, the list will stay a...

First Run Back

Today was my first run back in just over a month. I wanted to take some time off after the Mystic Places Marathon and a heavy season of racing. I was a bit out of breath at the start of the run, but I think that that was due more to the 25-30 mph headwind I had...
