Granted, it was a traumatic one, but I think it's time to look forward. It's time to focus on getting back into running shape. Focus on the future. That broken leg is just a bad memory! Speaking of running, this week actually had a lot of Continue Reading

On February 16th, my life as I knew it changed drastically (so dramatic, but it's true!); I was three weeks out from the Antarctica Marathon. I was running 60-70 miles a week; running was a huge part of my life. In some ways, running WAS my life. But then, I took a terrible fall on a 20 mile run and broke my tibia and fibula. Running was no longer a part of my life. Antarctica was off the Continue Reading
