post 101- the blog rises again

Wheeeewww my deepest apologies to those graduated/abroad for a serious lack of blogging this semester. I blame Genetics. It has not been uneventful, as the blog may imply, but rather the team did quite well (ahem, 3 wins in a row.) It was a great season, and the banquet was hilarious as usual.

I'm back in Jers now, playing wii fit with the fam, eating lots of sushi, maybe figuring out the summer, and Shelley is coming to visit (!) I'm pretty pumped about track, and now that finals/traveling are over running every day for 50-70 is doable. I bring Homer and Wilma (the puppers) with me sometimes. Just hope that Homer won't pick up some small dog in his mouth again.

Miss you already. Have some good holidays and what not. See you indoors (and out in the cold as well.)

Well folks, that was an epic semester. Definitely a total shitshow at times, but looking back it was all in all a good time, I suppose. I had about one somewhat decent race total, but I'm really proud of most of the team. We worked hard, even if it didn't totally show in our conference standings. Since when do the guys get a higher place than us?? Haha. We went out with a bang, our banquet western-themed and fabulous (see facebook for photos).

White Outs, Etc.

Greetings from the Green Mountains. Good luck to everyone still taking exams in WI and best to everyone out in the real world. We're getting our second Nor'Easter this week and I'm snowed in. Third day of treadmill, or bust. Maybe snowshoeing this afternoon if I can find poles. And the entrance to the trail. Winter cross-training? Yes, please.

This blog has been pretty quiet, but Singleton and Jess should be back in the country shortly. For the spring semester, we're sending Karen, Ellen, Anna, Anne, and Jie off into the wild yonder. Or quelquepart. So maybe this slog will suffer some revival after all.

Just dropped by to point out that although the Athletics Dept had nothing nice to say about us on the main feed, someone finally updated the gallery with photos from Ye Olde English Mess and a couple of windswept group shots from the roof of the Science Center. 

Safe holiday travels to everyone. And please don't be that asshole who sprains their ankle in a slush puddle. That's just the worst.

Big Lub,

Heney
