Driving

I just put 3300 miles on a 12' Penske moving truck moving from Swarthmore, PA to Berkeley, CA. Since this was the fourth time I've driven cross-country in the last two years, and the sixth time in my adult life, I had to try and keep things interesting. MRB came along for the ride, and I think we did a good job of avoiding Interstates. George didn't barf a single time, so that's a major plus. See our route here: http://goo.gl/Nrx22O

So does NPR. http://seedtoshirt.tumblr.com/

In addition to a mug with a carabiner for a handle, a pint glass with a design made of lead-based paint, a cup, a fleece vest, a visor, two jackets, two tote bags, four belt buckles, 18 coasters, and some water bottles, I have accumulated my fair share of race t-shirts in my nearly 10 years of ultrarunning. I'm moving back to California next week, so it's time to catalog them and throw away/donate the old ones. The ones that aren't really race T's: A gift from a friend. A club of which I am not really a member. One of my favorites. A club of which I was once a member. They only had mediums. Boo. Same club. Nice people, but still no smalls. I only have a couple tank tops. Big fan. I might've walked across the entire country in this thing , but I can't be sure. What I do know is that paying a brand name price for a tech-T is stupid when you can get one from Target for $12. Smartwool. Itchy. Smartwool. Not as itchy, but wool defini
