Running when you can’t really run… I’ve been doing 10min “runs” in my basement. Normally the weekly track run is my one quality workout a week. So many times this morning I thought about not going or about quitting.

A season of dinosaurs.
I always felt a bit like a lonely misfit in triathlon culture. I figured it was my outdated equipment, solo training, or playfulness in a disciplined sport. Little did I know the true cause. I was part dinosaur and just hadn’t … Continue reading
