  • Still Chasing 42

    Did you miss me? Or perhaps you didn’t even know I was gone? I’m guessing the latter outweighs the former, but you’re here now, so let’s chat. I began this blog over a decade ago to document my then brand new running hobby. That hobby has since become a lifestyle and given me access to…

  • Learning from each Mile- Embracing Change

    It’s amazing how fast the summer flies by when you aren’t looking, isn’t it? As a society, we focus a lot of our energy on the summer months as a time for vacations, relaxation, and a change of pace. I’m struck by how much this falls in contrast with many other parts of the world,…

  • 2014 in Review: Reflecting & Giving Thanks

    It’s a bit hard to believe that 2015 is already upon us. It’s been an incredible year of running for me, and has left me even more excited for what is to come this year! The new year is typically a time of reflection, resolutions, and giving thanks for those things in your life that…
