First of all, I wanted to thank you all for the support, as always. I loved Fargo Lion’s “Slow is smooth and smooth is fast” motto, it helped!! And I also followed dave.schultz’s advice to warm up, which I only do in shorter races. I case you don’t know, this…

I am sure you’ve all experienced this at some point, whether it was because of a vacation, bad weather, or… the most horrible word in the dictionary: Injury (I am sorry, I had to say it) When I am not Running, I (mostly) MISS: How I am able to eat…

You have to wonder at times what you’re doing out there. Over the years, I’ve given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement. I saw Pre’s movie last night and I…
