As the Chi Running book recommends, "If you're running on a very rocky trail, wear cycling gloves. They have padded palms in case you do a face plant ..." Oh, if only I had followed that piece of advice! But I had good reasons not to wear cycling gloves this morning ...

When I woke up to several inches of wet snow on the ground this morning, I have to admit that I thought twice about going running … Bob and Alyssa and I decided to brave it anyway ...

I can’t get over how lovely the mornings are this time of year… Brynn and I hauled ourselves out of bed this morning at met @ 6.30 to fit in a quick running workout before work. We did this route, which we’ve done before… it’s around town and pretty consistently hilly. We ran it in [...]
