On Saturday March 30th I did the Egg Hunt Triathlon, in Pembroke Pines Florida. I did it, despite the huge sigh my sports doctor let out when I told him that I was going to race at the end of March. You see, I hadn’t run 5k since January 1st, when my new year’s run […]

Another month has flown by, another month of training in the books. I started February having been told I could no longer run, but also having placed an order for two more pairs of Saucony running shoes. I live a life full of contradictions! If there is one thing that February taught me, it is […]
