Don’t look now, but it’s getting to be that time of year again.
No, not that time of year.
Well, it is getting to be that time of year, but that’s not what I’m talking about today.
For a lot of runners, goal races have come and gone and it’s time to do a little post-race debrief. Read more
This year, one of my non-running goals is to read 50+ books.
Reading books is one of my most tried and true methods for learning, in all facets of my life, which is why it’s a priority for me once again in 2021.
I have several books I’m already looking forward to reading this year, as well as several books I’m looking forward to re-reading this year.

After the storm had passed, I started thinking back on the experience and realized that there were more than a few things I could learn from the storm that applied as much to my running as they do to anything else.
While I wouldn’t want any of you to have to ride out a hurricane if you can avoid it, perhaps you can learn a few things from my experience that will help you on the roads and trails this fall and into the future. Read more
