Pin itWednesday night I went to my very first meeting for a triathlon group I just joined. It has taken me literally months to get the cajones to go join this club, I’ve been stalking their messageboard the entire summer.

Pin itI hate shoes. More accurately, I hate shoe shopping. My feet are big. They are an odd size that isn’t normally carried on store shelves. I also have very narrow heels. When I started taking up running (which was actually several years ago…this is just the latest incarnation), I knew that I needed to [...]
