I just got back from a really bad run. It happens. More often then I think I’ve shared here on the blog, and the last thing I want to put out there in the universe is that running is always peachy keen and rainbows and unicorns. I’m going to go through how I’m feeling, and …
It’s May 1 which, as many of you know, is when I start my annual craziness known simply as #5KaDayinMay. And each year, I’ve started with an intro post and some basic rules. So if you’re interested in that, go read the 2013 and 2014 intro posts or, to read ALL the writing I’ve done during …
I’m linking up with Tuesdays on The Run today and we’re all talking about hot weather running! Check it out for great tips from other great runners and bloggers! I live (and run) in a suburb of Dallas, Texas. Why this is significant is that in Dallas, in the summer, it is, um, how do …
