The Early Bird Gets A Great Workout!
If you've been following this blog for awhile you have probably figured out that I'm a morning person. My alarm goes of at 4:19 am every day except for Sunday. I roll out of bed, make coffee and will either work for a bit or watch something on TiVo before leaving the house at 5:15am …

Wander Lust
One of the best things about running is that it's an excellent opportunity to un-connect from the day to day grind and let your mind (and your body) wander! I started my 12 mile run on Saturday morning with my iPod at the ready and my Garmin set to go. I started running, hit the …
