Something about the food-loving, caffeine drinking, counter culture [...]

On Running Today marked my second Sun Run training clinic. I have to admit I was feeling a little nervous because my back had been bothering me an amazing amount this week; it wasn’t due to running but rather “cycle” issues.

To me, gently falling snowflakes, the warmth of a fireplace, cozy sweaters, and frost on the window, are the epitome of yule time. Which is why this year I’m finding it somewhat difficult to [...]
