This week has been busy. And good. The important things in life are still there and strong. I started working out again and have that satisfying ache in my muscles. My foot, which I hurt in the Rock N’ Roll Marathon is better and I think will be ready...
About a year ago, I started to see someone. We started as friends but ended up lovers. I told my co-worker about it and she told me words I had never heard before but will never forget: “Remember this: A realtionship will always end the same way it began.”...
This past weekend, I ran in the Razorback 48 hour Ultramarathon. My goal was simple: run further than I have ever run before. As you know, things can get a little boring and lonely. At night, to keep occupied, I’ll take my phone and start texting friends. It is...

Labor day. The last Monday of summer. For most, the worst day of the year. Not for me. For me, Labor Day starts the best time of the year (for me at least). Let’s go over why the end of summer rocks. Off to School The kids have to...
