		<title>Komen Columbus and My Pledge To Walk Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year has been a little rocky for the Komen foundation and in my mind rightly so. I&#8217;m not a religious fanatic, but I lean strongly in the pro-life direction. I have never been against providing adequate access for women&#8217;s health screenings, but I do have questions when it comes to providing funds for abortions. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Path To My First Half Marathon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Running for pleasure still seems like such an odd thing to do. It isn&#8217;t necessarily easy. It makes my muscles and joints hurt like I&#8217;ve been in a car accident. And frankly it is hard to make time for. So why do it? Because it is so easy to get caught up in the competitive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Warrior Dash Ohio 2011 In Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Warrior Dash was an absolute blast and I would definitely consider running it again. My family got to Kaeppner Woods about 3 hours ahead of my heat. I had friends running earlier and wanted to see them run. There were few areas to actually watch people running the race but the final two obstacles [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Warrior Dash To The Columbus Half Marathon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Warrior Dash is this weekend. Exciting! Much of the focus of my spring training has been the Warrior Dash.

		<title>Proof That God Has a Sense Of Humor, A Plumbing Tale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I make a remark about not being all that found of plumbing and Poof our gutter turns into a waterfall. Truthfully this has been going on for years, but I assumed that the gutter was always plugged at the top, which it always has been. But since it was pouring all over the place [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring In The Garden 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To tell someone from Ohio that it has been a wet spring would be humorous. Most of the central and eastern United States have been punished by floods or far more rain than average. As I write this today, on May 18th, many farmers in our area have yet to plant their fields. There are [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Perfect Amount of Slack When Changing Guitar Strings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My guitar instructor pointed out that my strings were looking a little nasty. I had to admit that it had been a great long time since I had put on new strings. Oh wait, I had never put on new strings. Off to the internet to learn a new skill. You can find video after [...]]]></description>

We started posted family news, family news spread into family interests and before long our audience had grown well outside of our family. We certainly [...]]]></description>
