I sent my oldest son, Toby, to Kindergarten this morning. The drive to the school took five minutes. Five short minutes to surrender my child to the large and wicked world. I started crying before we even made it through the double doors. It might have been the functionality of his school: the student monitors [...]
By guest writer Michelle Sedas, CI-CPT. Why do you exercise? What drives you to get out of your warm bed, in the wee hours of the morning, and lace up those kicks so that you can hit the pavement? What motivates you to plan your days so that you’re able to consistently spend quality time at [...]
Drumroll… Welcome today’s guest writer, my running partner extraordinaire, Jerri Wright! She is an expert on all things nutrition. She can whip up a batch of tasty cupcakes with nothing but aguave necter and almond flour (neither of which are ever in my cupboard, but whatever) plus she is MY RUNNING PARTNER. And I love [...]
If you want to run strong this fall, now is the time to condition. A good regimen will target your quads, hams, and glutes to increase your speed and power. When it comes to conditioning, sometimes it is hard to know where to start. Running is so darned simple—it seems like a travesty to junk [...]

It’s hot ya’ll. If you’ve granted your Mizuno’s a three-month sabbatical, HOLD ON GIRL! Summer is the best time to lay a foundation for fall road races.

Our family laughed over pizza at his favorite restaurant just as the whole [...]
I wanted to share this beautiful comment from writer Anna Sklar, on the earlier post “Wingman.” She wrote: Recently I came to a place where God asked me if He was enough. If all I ever had was Him, would I be happy with my life. As I was humbled and answered Him “yes,” everything [...]
My favorite part of this new blog design is the tag line: “Choose a destination, run fast.” The only problem is me not having a destination. I spend a lot of time writing about my boys. This blog may become the longest book ever written, and if the climax is Toby and Charlie’s passage into adulthood I’m gonna [...]
