Four years ago I started writing The Road Less Run blog for no real reason. I just woke up one day and decided that this is what I was going to do. Four years later, I still write and post as much as I can, though not as much as I would like to. Sometimes… Continue reading The Road Less Run Turns 4

The lost races of spring 2018
Even though I haven't been keeping up with race recaps, I have run some races. None of the races went particularly well, none of them were goal races, none of them were races I had 'trained' for.
