Funny story….

So, this mom takes her kids for a run….not every joke starts like that right? I digress…. Running is like truth serum. I’m sure you all know this, especially my buddies in MRTT. (For those of you that are not familiar with MRTT – Moms Run This Town – it’s a free running group for […]

Mudfest 2019

Rocks and Roots Trail: Race Report. One word….mud. This picture doesn’t do it justice, trust me. I know some of you out there reading this blog were there, and you probably have better pictures of what the mud really looked like. This was after I got to my car.
