Friday Runner Spotlight #4 – Els!
Yes! Friday Runner spotlight is BACK. I have so many runner stories to share with you guys and just got a bit bogged down with other stuff in life. However, now I want to at least share Els with you; funnily enough we live VERY close to each other and haven’t met each other in…

That Obligatory Year End Post
Ok maybe not obligatory, but all of the cool kids are doing it, so… 2013, what a year, eh? I started off being pretty excited about the Berlin Half Marathon – I was scared but felt like I was ready to tackle the distance again. I have to say for this event I trained the…
