I often struggle to separate myself as an athlete from myself as a coach.

I've been sitting on this post for a while, debating whether… Continue reading Even coaches need coaches
Sequoia Glen 5k & The Grand River Gallop

What I learned from a 100 day running streak

40 seconds faster, but never good enough
Two weeks ago I ran the Sequoia Glen 5k for the second time and it has taken me two weeks to find the courage to share what I want to share about this race. This isn't a race recap, this isn't even necessarily about the race I ran two weeks ago. This is about me as… Continue reading 40 seconds faster, but never good enough
