When I started writing thoughts in my head on this blog, it was mostly because I got tired of telling myself I should do it. The Mrs started running on a dare years ago and invited me to join her after a local marathon she did not finish. You see, when she started...

Today, the Mrs took the pup n I out for what she said would be a mile walk. I grabbed the pack, thinking it would be a mile, and I wanted to add some extra. She decided to walk further, and we ended up at four miles. Her pace got faster than last week, so there was...
