You Can Quote Me On It

Monday Morning Motivation

I had a dream last night that I was teaching class and could not do a pushup.  Even when I tried to do one on my knees I couldn't do it.  I felt weak.  And I hate feeling weak.  Been there, done that. I truly do empathize when people tell me they are afraid of …

Question of the Week

“Will running hurt my knees?” This is, I think a common misconception among non-runners (NRs).   And sure, runners have their fare share of aches, pains, and even injuries but for the most part they won’t end your running career. (Of course, there are many instances where people are not able to continue running but I …
