As St. Louis came into view on my flight home, the lush green and rolling hills triggered a pang of emotion inside me that I think I might feel for the rest of my life when I visit Missouri. I’d forgotten how brown Colorado is by comparison until coming back earlier this month to run [...]
 I drove to Pueblo, Colorado – a town of around 100,000 people, 37 miles south of Colorado Springs – to run in the Pueblo Chieftan Spring Runoff on Sunday. The Runoff includes a kids’ fun run, a 5K, a 10K and a 10-mile run. As part of my training for several upcoming half marathons – [...]
I’m a runner and a baker. Both of these hobbies help me relieve stress.
My running, I pound my frustrations into the pavement, have long talks with myself and wear myself out so much that there’s not enough energy left to use on worry.
Baking is my creative therapy – it allows me to create new things, [...]
My foot was run over in October by a very heavy (as in 3,000+ pounds) haywagon. Surprisingly, no bones were broken, and I only had minimal bruising.
Now, six months later and despite more than six week of physical therapy, I’m still having problems with my foot. It hurts all the time, regardless of my activity [...]

30,000 people will make their way through the Go! St. Louis Marathon & Family Fitness Weekend Expo this weekend, and I’ll be among the masses as I pick up my race packet for the Go! St. Louis Half Marathon. I may not be the fastest runner in the pack this weekend, but I’ve become dedicated to [...]
Can you tell what’s wrong with these running shoes?
Look closer…
Both shoes have a slight rightward lean, and the right shoe is roughly 1/8th of an inch taller than the left.
Still don’t believe me?
Look closely at the silver-colored plastic on the back of the shoe. You can see an indentation in the right shoe that doesn’t [...]
There’s always plenty to be thankful for, though lately I keep coming back to the same things; solid employment, great friends and loving family. This week I want to push myself to find grace in things that are specific to where I am at this specific point in my life; right now, this week, on [...]
