    Being a runner and someone who battles chronic pain every day, the tools that are needed to survive are useful for both worlds. I do look for the most functional, best effective ones.

    26.2 miles of fun at Disney.

Before that happens let’s go over the marvelous events that took place during runDisney Marathon weekend. I was mentally ready and…

  • May the force be with you

    Here we are again. It’s January, the day before the marathon. I trained REALLY hard for this one. Last November I had the spinal cord stimulator put in so I didn’t get a chance to do the official marathon. So, I ran the 26.2 miles the day before surgery. While surgery went well the leads…

    Marty, whatever happens don’t ever go to 2020

    We are still in 2020 right? Feels like it’s lasted for 5 years. It has tested us, broke us, and taught us things. And while is does sound cliché, those tough times did show us the strength we really do have. It was an ugly year, but I am sure it did have some beauty…
