In our world today we’re always being encouraged, or pushed,o do more, buy more, and just about every “more” you can think of. When it comes to endurance sports, we runners, cyclists, and swimmers often fall into the same trap, wanting to run longer, ride a few more intervals, or swim a few more hundreds in order to get stronger. …
Upon becoming a parent, there are lots of new skills you have to learn. How to change a diaper, how to burp a baby, and how to warm up (and not overheat) a bottle of formula or breast milk are just a few. However, you still have to go about the rest of your day, doing all the other things …

Even though I’m pretty tired I’m the morning after a night of baby feeding and broken sleep, this morning I chose to go out for a run after my 6:00 am feeding duty was done, rather than curling back into bed for …
