The nerves and excitement for the race Sunday morning woke me up around 4:45am. I didn't want to oversleep. So I got up, got dressed. Made my oatmeal. I had important things to do within the hour before we left like pin my bib to my belt. Attach my D-tag to my shoelaces. I took … Continue reading Silver Strand Half Marathon →

(UPDATED OCT 29,2010 8:02PM) Okay. Now I had no idea what I was going to be when I woke up this morning. I went to my chiropractic appointment and everyone was dressed in costume Dr. Seuss style.

It is Bailey's Birthday Week, yes. Every one in the Ashworth family gets one (a birthday week I mean). So does Bail-Bail. I thought I would take a few moments to re-live some of my favorite Bailey moments. He has always been a well behaved and well natured dog. But dog walking was not one … Continue reading Happy Birthday Bailey! →
