Dude, why do you look so angry? I have heard this more frequently over the past 2 months. From the starting line of Run Rabbit Run 100 to people at work. I’ll just be standing there in my own little world and someone will come up to me and ask if I’m okay. What the…
I have already talked about how hectic my life is, but tell anyone, last week I snuck in 35 miles of running. What the?!? How the?!? At the beginning of the week I made a choice: run life exhausted. This doesn’t mean I’m always tired, but need to be aware of the balance. It’s like…
