My Miami Marathon adventure started off on the wrong foot and never really eased into the right pace. While in Florida they experienced the coldest weather they'd had in years and freeze warning were posted most nights. At the end of the week when I was hoping for cool weather the

running realtor: The Running Realtor's Home Sales Report - September 2008 - 10/06/08 07:34 PM
The month of September was filled with gloom and doom from government officials who foolishly decided pumping 700 billion into Wall Street was the solution.

running realtor: Did I fall for a SCAM? - 08/13/08 08:59 PM
Typically I consider myself pretty conservative and tend to use extra caution while in unfamiliar territory. While traveling I'm always keeping a watchful eye in congested areas like airports or train stations and keenly aware of details that seem out of place. In the age of Internet SPAM offering all kinds of SCAMS I have learned
