This is as close to being done as it’s going to get tonight. We started off with a very sleepy Stephen. He worked off night shift this morning at 5am and he’s been awake ever since. We went out to the…

Fall….glorious fall means running outside doesn’t suck. In Alabama, we are finally hitting that peak fall weather of cool mornings and warm (but not sweaty-crevice alert hot) afternoons. And my mileage this week is prime example. I’m eyeing some great races…
