Injuries Suck

Ran a short, easy 5 miles on the trail yesterday followed by 16 on the mountain bike.  Tonight I’m sitting here with ice on my knee.  I’m not sure when it happened, but somewhere along the way, I must have tweaked it.  More likely, it is an injury from trying to raise my mileage too [...]

Frosty 5k Race 2 of 3

Another Great 5k

Komen Race for the Cure.  A great cause and a great event.   The weather was perfect…  right around 70 degrees and a very light drizzle…  I only wish it would have rained a little more.     There were a ton of folks out (around 1400 in the timed race) and the course was good.  [...]
