New Running Route: Early Bird 5K!
There is nothing more invigorating than waking up early in a city. Even though there are buildings, houses, and cars all around…everything is quiet.

Please– join me in my running misery
When I have a moment to myself at home I tend to make rash decisions. This notably occurred about 2 years ago when I just happened to be in a good mood while my three small kids were at grandma’s. Even though I had never given much thought to a marathon, I went ahead and registered […]
