June 22, 2017 by 2 Comments

As soon as spring comes I am one of those ridiculous people who has their road bike out in the slush riding alongside the runners in shorts just because it is finally ‘hot‘. Or the woman on the mountain bike who is poised at the top of a trail in the valley which is currently […]

Little Wild Horse Canyon

Over the course of the past three years, I have grown and gone through more than I thought possible. Or wanted to. Contrary to how I would prefer to live, from time to time I have caught myself fearing the future, waiting for the other shoe to drop and imagining the worst. The problem is, […]

The other day one of my crazy, fit friends sent me this text … My immediate reaction was to respond with, “No! Are you crazy? I hate running … Yes, ok, when and where do I sign up?” Do not fear, an epic commitment to spend half of my life running over the next few years […]
