There’s something both terrifying and thrilling about starting over. You know exactly how much it’s going to hurt — and you can’t wait anyway. This February 28th, 2026, we’ll stand side-by-side again at the starting line of The Woodlands Marathon, just a few miles...
As you've likely heard by now, Stefan and I started running a little over a year ago, and already have our first marathon behind us, along with several half-marathons and other various races and long runs. One thing that you really have to keep in mind when you do...
I have a confession to make. I haven't been running lately like I should be. It's not that I have fallen out of love with running...because I still love it when I get out there. But I fear all of the work we've been doing lately to set up our hybrid marketing company...
