KodaPup: March 2010
http://kodapup.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. It was a Sunday afternoon and P. and I headed out to the Montavilla 'hood for a late lunch. I'd really wanted to check out Country Cat Diner. But alas, we arrived at 2:06pm and they had just stopped serving and wouldn't be open until 5pm for dinner. Ah, shucks! I was super bummed. So I figured we'd pop into the new pie place, Immortal Pie and Larder. Candies and other specialty pantry goods, but I was getting cranky (HUN-GRY! And Pine State Biscuits. Both closed already. Man!

Thursday, January 13, 2011. A Maniac's Winter Triple - 3 marathons in 3 days. This is the post I wrote for RunOregon Blog. Jan 13, 2011. Hi, my name is Karen. And I'm a Marathon Maniac. #3263.". I never planned to become a Marathon Maniac. I'd qualified in 2004 with 2 marathons in 15 days - which at the time seemed kinda close together, but not insane. And life and running went on. We were running Birch Bay Ghost Marathon. And so the seed was planted. New Years. my husband decided to make an imprompt...

KodaPup: April 2010

Sunday, April 25, 2010. If you have nothing nice to say. Posted by Karen Wang. Saturday, April 03, 2010. What Did You Buy Today? Every so often, P and I feel artsy and go check out an art exhibit. We were in the N. Mississippi area to try out a new pizza and ice cream place, which gave us good reason to go to Land and check out the latest exhibit - Obsessive Consumption. The drawings were packaged individually ($20 each) and arranged in chronological order on crit rail shelves around the gallery. I remem...

KodaPup: July 2010
http://kodapup.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 02, 2010. Procrastination and Mental Constipation. Ah, geez. A personal blog is supposed to be liberating. If I don't write, the thoughts I do have become hazier. My creativity stagnates. I feel stifled and overwhelmed. Should I just abandon those topics and move on? Should I write about them later and forever frustrate the OCD Minister of Accurate Blog Chronology (M of ABC)? I guess I'll post this and write the other stuff later. Happy 4th! Posted by Karen Wang.

Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Oh, to be running in Hawai'i. This is the post I wrote for RunOregon Blog. Nov 24, 2010. Shiver* We can't make it any warmer in the NW for your runs these days, but imagine you're running where it's a sunny 80 degrees and someone has breakfast waiting for you at the finish. Brrrrrrrr. Pacific Northwest weather in November! Kihei to Maalaea)—taking place on that very Saturday. What luck! I hate sunny, warm weather. I try to avoid running in temps above 70 degrees - that's jus...

KodaPup: June 2010
http://kodapup.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 14, 2010. What do you get when you mix lumberjack and shabby chic together in Portland? I hadn't heard much about the food, but the pictures I'd seen of the interior intrigued me enough to drag P out to N. Portland in April for a late lunch. They describe their offerings as "traditional European and American immigrant foodways. inspired by the seasons, the weather, and what the farmers are harvesting.". Well okay then, let's eat! The menu is simple and unfussy - bits. The fish was tender and...

Monday, May 24, 2010. 7 Years Ago Today. Happy Super 7th Adoptiversary, Koda! Seven years ago you came into my life and changed it forever! Looking forward to (at least) another seven years of happy trails, silly smiles and vaccuuming up your fur! Can't wait for you to get better so we can hang out together in the forest. (I know he can't read this, but.). I don't know why God created dogs to only live 12, 14, 17 years. They are such good companions. Why do they have to leave us so soon? This post is abo...

KodaPup: August 2010
http://kodapup.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 15, 2010. 8 Months of Running, Injury and Disappointment. 2010 is turning out to be a very challenging running year for me. After the high of running “All of Wildwood”. And completing my first 50k. Last fall, things started to slip… not all at once, but like a crusty patch of ice on a snow-covered mountain that shifts and slides… then before you know it, you have an avalanche. Race day at Eugene:. And then the race unraveled. Miles 22 to 26 broke my heart. I watched my other time goals...

Saturday, September 25, 2010. McKenzie River 50K Trail Run. This is the post I wrote for RunOregon Blog. Sept 22, 2010. It's been a while since I last posted about a trail run. Some of you may remember my long-winded Ultra Diaries, about how I trained, attempted and finished my first 50K. Up on Wildwood last fall. For me, that was epic. So what next? I'd heard about the McKenzie River Trail Run. However, this year I didn't have a meticulous training plan to get me to the start line. Foolish, you ask?
