I'm going to ignore all the bad and the ugly this year. That was my 2016 post. There was too much of that. And you all already know about that and experienced it with me. Instead I'm going to look at the good pieces, the progress. Because I sure as hell couldn't have imagined most … Continue reading 2017: The Good

Running toward something

I visited Washington DC this past weekend to see friends and had the opportunity to get in a run while there. Every time I'm in DC it opens my brain to the stupid What If game. My friends … Continue reading Running toward something
