I'm hanging up my half marathon training shoes for the rest of this year. There will be no half for me on December 8. As you can imagine that is not an easy thing for me to see in print - not an easy decision, but it's the right choice. While my … [Continue reading]
Did you know that November is National Running Safety Month? Given my recent too-close-for-comfort encounter with a runner at dusk just the other day (I was driving and she was in ninja black with no reflective gear!) - I feel inspired to share a … [Continue reading]
Well October is quickly in the rearview mirror! While a very busy month in the RWA household, there wasn't much running thanks to the fall that left me with this knee -- who knew the foot would turn out to be the bigger issue?! There was just … [Continue reading]
