Every college runner understands what this means. For some, it means much more than it does for others, but I am pretty sure that everybody loves free stuff!!! GEAR DAY!!! The girls always toss a good Instagram story or 2 about the new gear, the freshman foam at the mouth just thinking about the gear... Continue Reading →

I’m currently sitting at 7013 feet elevation in Flagstaff, Arizona while reading a book on Alex Honnold. Who? The rock climbing guy from Free Solo that like Schrödinger’s cat was seemingly both dead and alive up on those Yosemite rock faces for THE ENTIRE FILM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urRVZ4SW7WU Does Alex Honnold fear death?

What coffee are you for each run? Warning! Clickbait!
I’m a runner. I drink coffee. I have a problem. Orrrr, maybe it’s a solution? Either way, not going to stop. My morning would not be complete without copious amounts of that dark warming substance. Not all runs are the same. Neither are all caffeinated beverages. So, without further ado, I present you with an... Continue Reading →
