Focus On Mobility
December 4, 2012 { 64 comments }I try really hard not to whine and complain on my blog. Especially when I am fighting a long-term battle with something.

Staying Busy
July 12, 2011 { 19 comments }I really appreciate your support and encouraging comments regarding my running hiatus due to my nagging hamstring injury. Sometimes I feel really guilty that I can’t give you all as much of the “runner” part of PBR that I’d like to. Trust me, I want to be out there running and racing so badly…but I [...]
