I love my newfound running group. It's not a secret. At least among us. I mean, I don't spend every step of a 12-mile slush fest pro...

I like to tell stories. Read them, write them, share them - it's probably why I went into journalism. And when I write a post, even a tr...

I've been very non-committal about racing this year and even more so, if possible, about racing in 2014. Don't get me wrong - I...

Tough. It's the only way to describe last week. Well, that or stupid. Or both. Yeah, it was both. On an ordinary week, I'm runni...

If three was one theme that drove my workouts last week, it was, "Be smart." My four-day stomach bug (tired of this, yet?) derai...

Headlines are my job - writing them, re-writing them, making them. Dozens pass through my screen daily, and I can only imagine I've writ...

I don't think I had ever been happier to see a glass of wine. After spending a half-hour on the verge of a complete meltdown, pa...
