April is here although it doesn’t feel like it. Spring seems to have taken a few weeks off and have chosen not to come right away but if you’re like me, that hasn’t stopped you from getting out there and running.

Getting Local with Big River Running
Guys….I’ve been running. My longest is only 5 miles but it’s better than nothing. It’s amazing how much endurance I’ve lost. My knee is still not 100% and I’m afraid it’s just my new normal.

Easing Back Into The Sweat Life
Guys, I’m chomping at the bit. I’m so ready to be running again. It’s been almost a month since I’ve been running with any amount of consistency.
