It was a beautiful morning for running. Foggy. I love foggy mornings. My worn-in Sauconys got a great workout. A few hours later, we had some big changes on the pole barn home. Concrete foundation is finished! They started around 7 this morning and they are now doing all that polishing stuff. With a foundation, …
Do you love racing? Do you love bling? Do you love traveling to races and bling? Then now is the time to apply for Rock’nRoll Marathon race series Rock’n’Blog Team. What do we do?

I know how January can be for me. Stale. Dark. Way too busy at school trying to get through mid-year testing, setting up intensive …
It’s been a few days since I’ve updated this corner of the interwebs! I took some time off in January to get back into school mode and one weekend turned into another and now I’m staring February right in its happy-hearted face. So what’s been going on? I’ve got a few drafts in the draft …
