Just What I Was Afraid Of
About four and a half years ago, Gary and I began running and our journey toward fitness and a healthier lifestyle. For the first several months, I worried that I would quit because that’s what I had always done. I would get excited about exercise, and then after a few weeks, I would skip a […]

Another First…
I have never belonged to a gym. I didn’t think I would be dedicated enough to spend the money, and I could run outside with no cost (other than shoes and clothes for every season and a GPS watch and an Ipod…). That all changed this morning. Addison and I got up early, went to […]

Why Run?
I follow several fitness and running sites on Facebook, and they often ask why runners run. It seems that each time they ask, I could give a different answer. And sometimes I have no idea why I continue to run – those are the days running isn’t going so well. There are so many reasons to […]
