Google ‘marathoner’s feet’, go ahead, I’ll wait. Gross right? Guess what I’m an endurance runner and I don’t have feet like that at all! I have had a few issues over the years, not that many but I did have a big toe nail turn black and fall off once. The key with foot issues... Continue Reading →
This week was a really different week for me. Honey was away for most of it as he was the week before too. We spend a lot of time together like most couples and then extra work time together too. It’s a lot, sometimes a lot, a lot. I joke, mostly but since I moved... Continue Reading →
Running seems like a great, sometimes pretty way to spend your time. Cute outfits, stunning views and all the grace of a gazelle right?

I’ve been kinda vague about this one so far not because I’m being dramatic or building suspense or anything but because I really didn’t have it figured out yet. I mostly do now, sorta kinda a little bit at least. It’s one of my first posts on here was about how to plan a race... Continue Reading →
Putting it out there right off the bat, I haven’t done every distance out there. Doesn’t matter because this isn’t that serious a conversation. That said the 10k distance is clearly superior than any other distance you could possibly choose to run. Which is to say in a lot of ways the 10k is my... Continue Reading →
What to take and what to leave behind? If you’re a what if sort of person you might consider roll behind luggage or a bike trailer. Others who like to keep it simple might end up skipping something thinking, "when will I ever need that"? But its not that simple is it? Some longer workouts... Continue Reading →
