Insanely Afraid of the Ice
I was out on a run several weeks back and finally did it. I slipped and fell on the ice tearing a hole in my new this season running pants and a hole in my winter running confidence. I was bruised, bleeding, had a few road rash spots and had some very sore muscles on…

Three Weeks Later
Motivation where are you? I have still had no motivation or desire to go on a run. I know I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m that type of runner that needs something to train towards. Even if I know that my marathon training is going to start in 4 months, it still is something that…

Learning to Find Community

The Best Running Buddy
Running Buddy I had been running for several years and had convinced my husband to run with me a few times. I even got him and my sister to run my first marathon with me. It was an exciting start to my running, but then something happened. We all slowly stopped running together. Every now…
