Racing with the wind

Posted on January 21, 2012 | 21 Comments

I secretly ran the Charleston Marathon last weekend. I said I wasn’t running a race until spring. This was not a last-minute decision. It was a 12 weeks before decision. I lied to everyone*. Continue reading →

New year’s admission: I like cheesy run slogans and mantras and quotes. 

I recently stumbled across* hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard, which speaks to my talentless genes. A low mileage runner, in 2012 I’m resolving to embrace miles make champions as my inspirational quote. During a pep seminar before the Boston Marathon an elite runner shared her keep it together mantra and I’ve since stolen it for my own use. I think it works better for her.

Mix Tape Volume 21

Posted on December 11, 2011 | Leave a comment

Around this time last year I started the mix tape.  The original goal was to post a new mix weekly, but sporadically seems to suit me better.
