About 10 a.m. I head out the door for a walk. The original plan was to leave around 9, focus on form and walk for 45 min, but I kept finding a reason to delay. As I left, it started to sprinkle. […]

Am I a rookie or what? You would think that the way I approached yesterday’s Flying Feather, I had never entered a race before! Mistake #1: My race clothes were not ready in advance. I only air dry my technical fabric clothes. […]
