One year ago yesterday, I started something that has well and truly become a thing I love … Continue reading Tales of a runner #6: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
Has there ever been a truer quote? The other day, I went for a run and it FRUSTRATED me that I wasn't better than I am.

But I guess when your hand is forced, it really … Continue reading The things I miss…
