    I was recently on vacation in Prauge and decided to go for a quick run on thousand year old streets. My daughters sat on the side of the alley and took photos and delighted in seeing everyones reaction. I have learned to enjoy and have fun with my naked feet burning up the pavement.

    People's reactions when you run

    My favorite time for comments is during the multi-day relay races where you have teams of people running and supporting their runners. Like the Ragnar race or hood to coast where you have a vans of people shadowing you and running with you. You have time to talk and you get all the positive...

    Mileage Reporting 2nd Week 2014

    I performed my first traffic stop. A crazy soccer mom stopped her car in 35 mph lane rolled down the window. I assumed she wanted directions and it was clear the cat had her tongue.

    Mileage reporting 52nd (but not last!) week 2013

    I did it ! I stopped thinking about running, and I ran. It seems simple enough right ? however post race it is not so easy to maintain when you don't have a race on the horizon. I had let myself go for 3 1/2 weeks with no running. I am convinced it is easier to run than think about it. I made...
