Every Mile Matters: April Fools Day Edition

Every Mile Matters – Tina Bond I have come to a difficult decision.  I think I am going to give up running.  The thrill is gone.  Pretty, big, shiny medals have lost their lure.  Training has become a chore.  I don’t enjoy eating all the food.  I especially don’t like that my pants don’t fit […]

Every Step Counts

Every Step Counts by Catherine Campbell     I think of this especially on long runs when I am doing 10/30 run/walk/run intervals and I begin to get a little tired. It takes about 26 steps for the 10 second interval. That doesn’t seem like much but as I silently count down the steps I feel […]
