2 Broken Things Thursday
…and time stood still. My Garmin finally bit the dust. There were signs of impending demise months ago but I managed to resuscitate it. No such luck this time. Maybe it’s revenge for not taking it along on vacation. Maybe it’s just old age. But it’s the end of an era for sure. I got [Read More]

Race Report: March Madness Half
If I wanted an excuse not to run this race this year, I wouldn’t have had to look very far to find one. On my best day, this is the hardest of the 20 half marathons I’ve done. On a day when my lung capacity is compromised compliments of the flu, my hip is jacked [Read More]
