Happy 1st Anniversary!
Today I celebrate my first anniversary of my return to running. 1 year ago, I made a step that hopefully will continue to change my life for the better. What events led up to this change? I was at a point in my life where I was fed up with who I was seeing in [...]
Training Report: 2/13-2/19/2012
A continuation of my journeys in running, and more specifically what do I do now that my marathon has ended.

Race Recap: SCWT #4
The next race in the Snow Cheap Winter Trail series was last night, and man was it a muddy blast. Coming into this race I didn’t feel well. Fatigue set in pretty hard on Tuesday morning and I actually ended up cutting short my workout and my miles, didn’t run anything on Wednesday morning and [...]
