This or That: Foam Roller vs Percussion Gun

This or That: Foam Roller vs Percussion Gun Product reviewing isn’t something I typically write up on the blog.

But, I thought it might be fun to bring my readers some tools and resources I’ve used over the years along with my humble opinion on what seems to be the best value for your cash and time. I’ll…

Childhood Trauma, PTSD and Running

Childhood Trauma, PTSD, and Running *Note: As I was writing this I was brought to tears thinking of my childhood trauma. Not because I feel shame anymore but because I feel gratitude for the way my faith and running journey have lifted me out of the pit of depression. There is HOPE! Hang on. I’m there with you. For you. This is a delicate and hard subject to write and read about. When I think…

Wilmington Marathon Training Update

Wilmington Marathon Training Update To date, I’ve only written one marathon training recap out of the past 9 weeks. WOW. I’ve remained busy with my kiddos, running, strength training, and then got really sick. I am able to run as long as I keep my heart rate under 150. If I try any kind of speed work like I did Tuesday or today my heart rate just spikes. I’ve just been modifying the best I can.…

Ankle Sprain Round Two

Ankle Sprain Round Two So that’s about it. I’m writing the second half of this year off. Hanging my hat on a lovely 1:28 half-marathon PR and calling it a day. Because I now have incurred an ankle sprain on my left ankle…again. This time by a random rock in the middle of a very flat, paved hospital route. Odd. I’ve run that route for the past 8-10 years only to just now have sprained my ankle…
