Happy 4th!! On Sunday I climbed out of bed at 5:30 a.m. to do my long run of the week (11 miles). Oh, the things I’ll do to avoid running in the heat… I ran the Mountains to the Sea trail from Hicks Canyon to the Walnut Trail. Normally I take Hicks Canyon to Peters [...]

I had one of the busiest weeks I’ve had work-wise in forever and I need to just stop and catch my breath for a couple of days. [...]

Every weekday morning Bauer and I do an out and back 3-4 mile run around our neighborhood. Bauer LOVES his runs. He pouts if I don’t take him out within 5 minutes of waking up and he never wants the run to end. When we get to the part of our run where it’s time [...]
