I began my relationship with running in the summer of 2004 — seven years ago.  Over the past few years running and I have had our ups and downs.

Wow! I can’t believe it’s less than two days until the Savannah Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. That’s a lie. I can totally believe it. In my head this marathon should have happened ages ago. To say the least, I am over marathon training. I haven’t done a lot of recaps on my training. In fact, …

Have you ever heard the term “Weekend Warrior”?  Urban Dictionary has a few interesting definitions for this term, but I prefer to define it a bit differently.
