I checked into my hotel tonight and asked about a running path. I was met with, “Are you looking to put in some distance?” I nodded and then the most incredible thing happened… She said, “I’ve got your covered.” I was thrilled! She pulled out a trail map and explained how I could lengthen it …
because my training has been going so well and for the past year whenever I have hit this point, I’ve had a set back of some sort that doesn’t let me continue to train, but I wanted to share because we have been together on this journey for awhile now and you have been so …
It’s amazing to realize how comfortable you become in the keyboard shortcuts and little nuances involved in a particular computing experience. You don’t realize that you know longer know how to cut and paste or type in a different language until you try to use what you already know on a new device. So, I have …
