You may or may not know that I’m friends with Denny Drahe (@dizruns). We actually met in Roanoke, Virginia – no, neither of us is from Roanoke – a few years back. I’ve been a guest on his podcast.

I’ve been a bit caught up in moving and going through boxes in my garage and I’ve been ignoring my blog. I am so sorry but it has been a very productive week. I’ve interviewed and written pieces on five different charity runners who will be running either the half or full marathon in Asheville… Continue reading What a Week!

I want to spend the majority of this post discussing the most important part of… Continue reading National Bike Month
Weekends at my house are just messes of people trying to get a lot done in very little time. Last weekend also involved working out a time to go pick up Number Five from college as his “Easter/Passover” break was beginning. On top of that, he had broken a tooth a week ago eating trail… Continue reading Weekends, Races and a Winner
