Veterans Day This week we take a moment and some miles to honor all our veterans, those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. The holiday a few days ago also coincides with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, celebrated in other countries to commemorate the end of World War I. In tribute, the ...
Standard Time Although I love this weekend, in which we get to return to Standard time and get a bit more morning sunlight to power our run, it will also change things for me, as I will no longer be 7 hours into the future. Now I will be 8 hours into the future. Coordination ...
All Hallows Eve It’s that time again. It’s time to don your scariest costumes and head out to badger the neighbors for goodies. Or maybe just run to the costume store while wearing a costume. Or NOT wearing a costume. You decide what’s right for you. So as not to step into a steaming pile ...
