Last week I run one of the most beautiful races in the country. Imagine red rocks, bell shaped ones, beautiful sunrises, and you just imagined Sedona, Arizona. Place known by its natural beauty and some more or less believable powers of mystical vortexes, etc.
This year it was fifth running of Sedona Marathon, so they creatively [...]

Confused at first, London? maybe Logan’s run? no that was 80s [...]

Today was my first official race. 15th annual Susan B. Komen Race for the cure. Even as non competitive event this 5k was chalange.
