New Year, New Goals - sorta
Wow! It’s been since September since I last blogged here - Sheesh! A big part of that is that I’ve been extremely heavily involved with some new developments at my company that I started a year and a half ago, the other part is that once it got really cold here I kind of […]
Getting back into it….again.
Sheesh. It seems that every time I start making really good progress, I end up getting into a situation where I don’t feel like I have time to run. Adria says I’m an idiot - and she’s right.

Why Heart Rate Training
When I first started running earlier this year, I was hurting myself - a lot. I wasn’t really aware of it in the sense that I acknowledged where my pain was coming from, I mean I obviously knew I was in pain, but I didn’t blame running - I blamed my body.
I have an […]
