Why Speed Work, Works

What an awesome weekend, guys! I have no idea how I was able to cram so much in and still feel like I had a restful weekend. I had the 5 Peaks Rattle Snake race on Saturday morning (recap to come this Friday) and I was struck with an awful migraine that left me cancelling… Read More…

Running With Friends (How to Avoid a 127 Hours Incident)

Happy Monday, one and all! I had a weekend of running! I have run for the past 8 years or so mainly solo.

The Definition of Insanity and other weekend adventures.

The Definition of Insanity and other weekend adventures.

I just returned from a fabulous weekend away with my family. We were all sitting around the table for dinner one evening and Max (my sister’s fiance) remarked how ridiculous it is that we need to drive 3 hours away in order to all be together as a family. We all agreed, but it is… Read More…
