Why I Keep Movin’

Why I Keep Movin’ Every Mile Matters by Val This isn’t one of those heart-string-tugging stories. Nor is it a bittersweet journey of learning about running or who I am. It is just a simple story of two girls who got me moving, a family that believes I am strong and a lost son. And […]

Training is Hard, But Oh So Rewarding

Training is hard, but oh so rewarding. By Sheila Dawe Isn’t it funny how when one first gets a new training program there is a wistful dream like quality to imagining conquering all those distances? Yet when the actual training days come there is the cold truth of fear and dread of facing the distance. […]
