One Month In…
It’s only been a little over a month since I last blogged, which is not bad when compared to the last couple of years. I like to feel that I have something to share when I write, and often I just don’t. This year I am documenting my journey back to running. While it might…

A Change in Plans
After the Chicago 10k – actually, at mile 2 of the Chicago 10k – I decided that there was no way in hell I was going to run the Indianapolis Monumental Half Marathon. At that point, I didn’t know if I was going to make it six miles, so 13.1 would be impossible. As soon…

Schweizer Fest Road Run…Day 5 Post Op
No, I didn’t run. However, I have been asked about my knee so much, that I made up a great story to try out tonight! Person: UGH! What happened to your knee? Me: Well, you won’t believe it, but I was running the 6 miler this morning, and I was in front. I was so…
