Tuesday’s marathon was tough. It was too hot, my feet hurt (need new trainers) and was really tired. After the 4th of 8th laps I really starting to feel it but I didn’t have a choice but to push through. Just Giving have started a campaign called #poweredbypeople. I keep seeing it all over facebook […]

Running Blind (with my Fairy Godfathers)

992.5 miles to go – Orlando New Year Run
I decided way back that I wanted to run a race on New Year’s Day if possible. When I came across the Orlando New Year Run by Epic Sports Marketing it looked perfect. There were two races, a 5 mile followed by a 2.5 mile race 45 minutes later. Why do one race when you […]
