The Five Experiment

It’s April and I’m doing an experiment on myself. The Five Experiment. It involves me, my running shoes, and hard work. It all started last weekend when Kimberly and I were riding bikes and spending the afternoon in Santa Monica. Aren’t we cute? As we were walking around and buying kelly-green shorts {we love us...

Half Marathon Training: Update Number Five

It is 10:48pm on Friday night and I really should be sleeping. The thing is, I’m not tired. Glenn is out of town and whenever he’s gone I find it takes a lot longer for me to chillax and get to sleep. Earlier this summer when he was on a trip, 2:30am became my normal...
