(Shirt, pants) Lauren is getting me out on the hills again. There is a road that we used to run, and it starts at the very base by the river and then climbs up 350ft in one mile. The burn you experience on this hill deserves a reward, and usually, that reward is the cars … Continue Reading

A 12-mile run + some strength training—> I’m front-loading this week because I’m not sure how much I’ll be running later this week! When Andrew got out weights to strength train, Brooke wanted to join in, too… And then we were off for the day… The broken leg didn’t teach him much a few months … Continue Reading

(Top, shorts, hat) In my 10 miles yesterday, I experienced hail (that made the street so slick that we had to walk on the downhills), beautiful spring views, dramatic winter views, and feelings of being too cold and warm.  It was quite an eventful run. My favorite running socks were all dirty, so I went … Continue Reading
