The journey to this place has been one I’ll never forget.

I was anti run buddy until I realized having one is a secret weapon.

Long runs are a fine chance to get the lay of the land—and meet the neighbors.

After a lot of congestion (and too many tissues), it feels good to hit the road.

When illness strikes, it’s recliner time.

The more I run, the more revelations I have.

I’m not much of a morning person, and other insights into my running life.

Training isn’t easy, but it helps to know I’m not doing it alone.
