I’ve been running since 2008, and started running longer distances as a way to rebalance my life especially after the death of my mother.  Running kept me neat and trim, until I started to train for a marathon.

Yes, still.  It’s been almost four years. Why, on some days (like today), can I still not seem to function the way normal people do? On some days, grief… Continue reading Let’s Talk About It!

I have gone from riding from the end of the road and back to, since I started cycling… Continue reading Diary of a Cycling Nobody | Newcomer
