Many many years ago, we met a young brewer and I fell in love with his beers. OK, one beer in particular – his Wee Heavy. The brewer, Bill Madden, moved around a few times to other breweries and Beer Geek and I followed him wherever he went. I don’t know if he knew he…

The weekend I ran all the miles
Sometimes I intentionally make crazy choices. Sometimes crazy choices find me. This weekend was a case of the latter happening. Back in December, Pacers Running offered an amazing discount if you signed up for 5 races at once. Since they are my local running store and race company, I often run their races. I decided…
5 Stages of Ragnar Relay Packing
Packing for Ragnar is an art not a science, but I go through the same 5 stages every single time. 1. Panic! You don’t know where every thing is, you need to do a load of laundry, and you don’t know what you want to wear. This stage is often the longest stage as you…
Ragnar Relay and Scott James Jewelry

Five tips for a fun Ragnar
I love to run Ragnar! Unlike marathons, which I seem to find myself accidentally signed up for, Ragnar is something I love to do. In fact, eventually, I’d like to run every Ragnar out there (but no, I won’t be that person who runs them all in one year LOL. I’m packed and mostly ready…
Preparing to run Ragnar DC again
I ran my first Ragnar Relay at the Ragnar DC two years ago. It was an amazingly fun experience and I couldn’t wait to run one again. We got lucky and our team won a free entry into Ragnar Cape Cod the following spring. I was afraid going in that it wouldn’t be as much…
