There were hopes. There were tears. There were shouts.  And, once again, Fort4Fitness proved to be magic. I didn't get my PR. I wa...

T-minus two days. Actually less than that. It's more like 41 hours. Forty-one hours till the big race. And though I have some things...

This morning did not have the makings of a good morning. I went to bed early but slept poorly and felt less than rested when the alarm went ...

The clock read 7:20. It was time to head to our corral. We said goodbye to Miles, who would be "walking" the event (his first...

If there was ever a race to be mine, it would be Fort-4-Fitness. I ran my half-marathon PR there in 2010. I puked my guts out at t...
