Ran This Year!

Today, on December 18, 2014, on the 395th day (!) of a runstreak and the 352nd day of the year, I ran past my Run This Year 2,014 mileage goal for the year! How in the world did this happen? Weeks before December 31? (I really thought this would be a Dec. 31...

Hilly Running Thrills

Carpe Diem!

Wow, it’s been a very difficult, strange week. Hard to believe that the great comic genius Robin Williams is gone. He’s one of the funniest people I have ever known. And he connected with us so strongly with his humanity and down-to-earth personality. His creativity was evident in his work, from movies, to TV shows, […]
