A journey through motherhood, running, and life.
Confession: the last time I did speedwork outside was years ago (like 3 or 4). When I was in Iraq, it was impossible for me to find an area on the base where I could run without worrying about hummvees, tanks, or even indirect fire, so I began to do my speedwork on the treadmill. I [...]
I decided to break the Race for Recovery down by the numbers – I’ve seen this method used several times recently in blog posts and really love the style! Don’t forget to check out photos of all the runners who participated! I just want to say THANK YOU one last time to everyone who supported [...]
