I really hit the audiobook list hard last week (see my training journal) and finished three separate books (along with several podcasts). I was able to draw inspiration and food for thought from all three books as I train for running longer distances. Definitely happy to add these to my book list. One key I've … Continue reading 3 inspiring audiobook recommendations for runners
First ultra of 2018 – This week in beef, running and travel
This week provided a few different challenges for running goals. On one hand, my travel was extended due to a snow storm and I had meetings all day that interrupted my training plans.

Motivation is Overrated – This week in beef, running, and travel

Did you already drop your resolutions?
One week of 2018 down. 51 more to go! Have you stuck with your New Year resolutions? Probably a good thing I set goals instead.

Let your running goals take shape
Each new year, we set resolutions for a "new you" to be a better person, more fit and reach new heights. Truth is, most people will fall short of those goals within 7 to 14 days. Another truth is, if we want these goals to stick, there is no magic day. Goals become habits with … Continue reading Let your running goals take shape
