  • 2015 Scavenger Dash

    One of my 30 by 30 goals is to complete a race each year. I originally planned to do a few more Rock’n’Roll series half-marathons, but our move and my new job threw those plans out the window. There aren’t a lot of 5Ks here in the Springs beyond running clubs. I happened to check…

  • One month to Vegas

    I am running my second half-marathon a month from today. I definitely have not been training as much as I should be, largely because I’m totally unmotivated. I’ve been stuck in a funk since Mac’s leave ended, and I’m trying my best to break through that. I also have a bunch of trips planned over the…
