Running in Sand is Not a Day at the Beach
I spent last weekend in Pismo Beach with the family and some good friends. We take this trip 2 or 3 times a year - it's very relaxing fun mini-vacation. The weather can be unpredictable, we've had 80 degree days in March and rain in September but we don't care. We layer, bundle up or …
“The Finger”
I'm writing today with my middle finger taped and bandaged tight. It looks like I'm flipping off my computer and anyone else that I'm pointing at or motioning to. Let me tell you, typing is challenging without the use of the middle finger. Whiel Brad can peck like a bird with his index fingers, I …
When Life Interrupts

Gather your and your families old shoes and take them to your nearest running shoe store such as Arch Rival or Fleet Feet. These stores have programs in place to distribute your old shoes to those …
The Drive to Drive
My 9-year old daughter plays CYO basketball. Her team was tied for 1st place in their division. Their opponent Saturday was the team in which they shared 1st place. This other team (oh, let's call them St. Hilary's) is a very good team. They shoot well, are fast and can hit free throws. They are …
