Recently, Mark and I were watching a show where a couple was having a fight of epic proportions. I smiled at him smugly and made a comment about how glad I was that we NEVER fought like that. He looked at me incredulously from the other side of the couch. “Have you been on our… Read More…

2017 Race Schedule
I think I very well get the worst friend of the year award. Recently, one of my closest university friends let me know she was engaged and asked me to be a bridesmaid. My response was: “As long as it isn’t on one of my race weekends.” What I really meant was as long as it… Read More…
