We don’t have to try to take selfies for this one. We will have memories created for us of this achievement. It’s a nice feeling. We wait patiently or perhaps impatiently for the photos to… Read More

So far timing or weather or any other of life’s many variables have conspired to keep me from trails…. Read More

There are dog lovers and there are crazy dog people. More and more I feel like we fall into the second category heavy on the crazy.

Training for a 50k has been a big change to the way I run. I have never done any kind of official training program for any race I have run. If I set my sights on a run that is a little different in the past I just change the way I run to suit the type of race I am striving for. If the race is longer than what I normally… Read More

Something I never thought I would do. This week I was determined to run outside. Yesterday the temperature was… Read More
