It was early 2015. Team Runnin’ Not Walken had about 8 or 9 of our 12 spots filled.

Thursday Thoughts
Just a couple ideas or thoughts for this Thursday, January the 17th…. Running and training in the winter is hard. Training any time is difficult but when you throw snow and 20 degrees…No Thanks!

Good-Bye 2018! Hello 2019! – Part 2
From a running standpoint, 2018 was in many ways a great year. It had ups and downs, naturally, but for the most part, it was a fantastic year.
