I’ve participated in the Tour de Salisbury every year it’s been offered, but this year’s Tour had a new twist — each location was on an island! For two of the islands, you could only get there by boat. Because of the further-away and harder-to-get-to courses, we also had four months to complete The Islands Tour. … More The Islands Tour was a fun new twist on the Tour de Salisbury

It took me a while to get to my first 100-mile month in 2021, but once I did it in May, I did it again in June. There were a lot of miles crammed in at the end, but I made it happen, and I had a good running month with some fun locations for … More June running wrap-up: Another 100-mile month and fun running locations
I always like to explore new trails or running spots when I’m out of town, and I decided to run on one of the trails at Prettyboy Reservoir last weekend, when I was visiting my family.

Well, in case you missed it, my January was certainly abnormal! I was hit by a car while out on a run Jan. 15, and after that, I took two weeks off to rest. I have now recovered (somehow?!
