Last time I checked, it was June?
Time is a funny thing. Sometimes it creeps by (like when you're on the cusp of something really exciting happening), and other times you really cannot fathom how it has disappeared. I distinctly remember sitting around thinking "Wow, Charles' July 3rd Birthday is just two months away." Now I'm not quite sure how it's come, … Continue reading Last time I checked, it was June?

Gear Review: The RooSport
So I am having a super depressing day thank to my left achilles tendon. As with most training plans, things were going so well until my body was like "calm this nonsense down and stop stressing me or I'm going to ruin your day and rebel."

The New Addition to Our Family…and it’s not what you’re thinking
So I am excited to welcome a new addition to our home: Yes, we finally bit the bullet and bought a treadmill.
