75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
This week just blew by. Honestly, I barely remember it as I’m going back picking out the pictures I was thinking ‘was that even this week’. This week in July is a busy week every year because not only is it my birthday it’s my little sister’s too. That fact led to us considering it... Continue Reading →
Runners might not get the shade that cyclists do but many drivers would prefer that we not be on the road either. After all we have a choice right? Well… it’s not as simple as you might think.

Alright so I have a new issue popping up I’ve never dealt with before and could use some advice if you’ve got it. It’s not a big issue and it goes to show that every training cycle is different. Here’s the thing my left big toenail is starting to wear down. It’s as if someone... Continue Reading →

I’ve been pretty serious about training so far but it hasn’t really gotten serious yet, but I don’t FEEL serious about it. Could... Continue Reading →
I’ve been a runner and I’ve had hair for a long time now. Somedays that hasn’t worked out so well for me. In fact over the years I’ve switched up how I do things because of my hair on numbers occasions because of running. Recently I’ve even chopped it all off mostly for running. But... Continue Reading →
Here's what I've noticed... the times I've moved forward the most in my life I've been forced. That's true in big ways and small ways.
