How do runners wear heels…
I’m not operating at 100% today. Heck, I’d be lucky to feel 45%. I’m sore from yesterday and feel like I’m coming down with a cold. But I made the questionable decision to go to the gym anyway and try...

Fresh kicks
I have sore quads today from the HIIT but it’s nearly 60ºF so I went out for a run anyway. How can I pass up a day like this at the beginning of February? I covered just about 2.5 miles in 30 minutes...
View ArticleMarking miles
All right, I think I’m just going to accept that I’m going to be blogging several workouts at a time, and that’s okay. Now, since I last posted… Friday I worked at home and got a 3.75 mi run in. I...
