I often wonder about the people that I meet on my runs. I wonder what their stories are. I wonder where they have been. Sometimes I even make up their stories: Her morning was filled with preparation. She had started at 10 and finally got in her car at 11:45 to make the short drive […]
You have to love when you are trail running and your encounter a large obstruction blocking your path! At this point, you have two options: Reroute: Turn and run back the way you came from! Jump: Although it might mean slowing your pace to a walk a little climbing, it will make you feel more
