After a small breakfast at a small bistro we walked through […]

After a tough day of running on Saturday, my wife and I wanted something easier for our recovery runs on Sunday. We knew there was a paved path that paralleled the Las Vegas wash, and ran very close to where we are staying. We also knew that we didn’t want to deal with the same […]

Despite not racing this weekend, it doesn’t mean that we get the weekend off from running. Just because we’re away from home doesn’t mean we get to skip out on running either. In fact, running in new places is one of the reasons we travel to some of the places that we do. This trip […]
