Why am I showing you this boring beer?
Because it’s not boring at all! Chris made it. He made it. And I got to taste it this past weekend for the first time. I’ll let him tell you about the process he and his friends went through for the first beer they made and the second one. But I’ll tell you that when…

Try it my way, and you will never look at shoes the same again
Before I even knew he was the one I would meet, he was watching me as I walked through the door and made my way across uncrowded but busy room.

On running outside
Until relatively recently I was a treadmill girl. I could run for an hour straight on a treadmill – until it cut off – and I was super proud of myself for that. (For the record, I’m still super proud when I do that now.) But I have learned the hard way I need to…

More things I know or think I know about running
I had to take a breather from yesterday’s post. I mean, you want to spend your day reading about running or actually have time to go out and do it? So here I am today with more “Things a person that doesn’t know much officially has learned about running”: Water I used to think the rule was:…
