• About Me

  • Running has brought great joy to my life. I use this blog to log my running experiences and maybe even inspire a few people to get out there and run. If a turtle like me who couldn't run for more than two minutes without feeling like I was at death's door can run, anybody can.

    Running Slow and Running as a Family

    All my runs this week have been pretty slow.  Everytime I speed up I feel a pain in my left adductor muscle.  I am thankful that I have still been able to run.  My mileage was also way down, only 15 miles.  That is the lowest it has been in a long time, but I [...]
