In trying to make sense of this milestone in my life, I turn to a recent post by my dear friend and inspiration, Lindsey. Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to… Read More…
A Giveaway: Pave It Forward
Not too long ago, Pavement Runner decided that he had too many books. He bought a new one that was so great that he needed to share it and thus, the Pave It Forward Giveaway was formed. The premise is simple: win the book, read the book, review the book, and give it away to another… Read More…
Running Heros
When I was in high school, I took my first tentative steps towards the world of running. Little did I know, I was in some of the very best hands. I was a little uncertain when I tried out for cross country. I had waited until my final year to even consider it because of… Read More…
An Ode to Writing and Running
This morning, I went into the office early. I had a cup of tea and sat down to write my new column in the quiet of the office. (It’s due today). Slowly, the office became populated and was buzzing with noise and activity. My boss even came in to say a few things to me,… Read More…
Dynamic Warm Ups
Apparently you guys have shin splints. I understand your pain. This week, I have a wretched knee injury which came from too much trail running and too little stretching; a small little nudge from my knee went very quickly from “It’s nothing” to “OMGIamdying” pain in short order.

I wrote the original “Why I Run” post here. Some of the feedback I received was that you were “relieved to hear a true reason of motivation”. And that is just it, it is a deep motivation. Yesterday, I did my time trial with my varsity cross country team. I whined to our physical therapist… Read More…
Injured?
I have been getting some emails lately regarding injury, especially related to running. It is unavoidable if you are engaged in a sport, especially if you are just starting out or are increasing your training volume or intensity. But there is a bright side to injury. After last cross country season, I had an IT… Read More…
More than you will ever know
We have someone in our family who is just..awkward. We want him to leave and we have told him this, but he follows us everywhere. We tried to leave him in the mountains of Utah, but he slipped inside a small corner and followed us home. He makes us cry in public places. He makes relationships really… Read More…
We all run for a reason. This is mine.
Last night, I was talking to one of my friends who is competing in an upcoming figure competition. She was picking my brain on my daily habits as her training and dietary programs are rigorous to say the least. She was exclaiming about all the changes that she was making to prep for the show….
