Last week was kind of up and down as far as training goes. It was still pretty hot out for most of the week, which seems to be the cause of an angry stomach. In terms of weather, this week should be a lot better. A little worried because I have started to have strange … Continue reading
This week was full of stomach problems and naps. Waiting on a work document from the French government had me out of work this week (not too happy about that, but trying to go with the flow), so I tried to use it to my advantage to get some extra nap-time in, but decided not … Continue reading

So I’m definitely far from Olympic status, but I felt a lot better this weekend with new shoes! In fact, my 16-mile long run was nearly pain free after a week of battling an ankle problem thanks to some new Brooks Glycerin shoes! If you are looking for a pair of running shoes or running … Continue reading
