Do you use Twitter? Or Facebook? Did you know that you can find me on both of them? Here are my pages: http://twitter.com/RunToWin http://www.facebook.com/RunToWin For about a year and a half now, I’ve been putting up a quote of the day that is related to running, or motivating yourself to run, or giving you another…
2009 has come and gone, and 2010 is about to start. This year didn’t quite go as planned. I was off to a great start, but my training was thrown a bit off between breaking my foot in July, totaling my car in November, and getting a nasty case of bronchitis in December. This year…
