  • Life is a gift. Use it or lose it …

    So, I’m a little late on the the whole “look back/look ahead” post that comes at the end of the year, but I was too busy celebrating the holidays to take the time to sit down and think about it! So, better late than never, right? Last year I wrote about some thoughts on 2008,…

  • Running and socializing at the same time?

    Why did it not occur to me before that this would be the coolest thing ever? I went out to TrySports last night for one of their group runs. I can tell you right now why I was always hesitant to do group runs before – performance anxiety. I know that sounds weird. Especially as…
