Feets, Don’t Fail Me Now
I was in Sacramento yesterday to run the American Parkway Half Marathon. It was sunny, clear and the sun warmed the few thousand of us at the starting line.

A Tip to Make Trail Running Better!
When running trails you have to stay very alert and focus on what's in front of you. Roots, rocks, vines, shrubs, ruts and holes are all hazards that can cause you to trip and fall. I read an article once that changed how I view running trails. Instead of running to avoid the dangers, look …
