Mile

Every so often, I get really energized by a run. Today it was a mile time trial my group did. A couple of times a year we do an easy couple miles which ends at a local track and we run a mile; just one mile; just four laps. I'm sure the idea kills the …

Water? Water? Water?

I've volunteered a couple of times to help at aid stations for road races. It's an interesting view from yet another side of racing. I've run in plenty and been a spectator at just as many. So far, volunteering tends to be getting up early, getting out to a spot on the course and standing …
