Everything but the kitchen sink
I have a certain thing for races as all runners do. We sign up for them, train for them, line up at the start, finish and have this runner’s high when we cross that finish line as we proudly wear our finishers medal. Am I right? But there are also virtual runs, that I have…

When running happens…
Since running my marathon, it has been ridiculous. The first few days were fine. Just your typical mild soreness, but as you read in my marathon recap, my back did lock up on me and I am still experiencing it today….yuck!
