This year, on June 12 starting at 7am, you can take on the challenge of 2.4 miles in a tunnel and the joy of 20 miles primarily downhill toward the finish line. And as the race…

When the alarm goes off at 5am on a Sunday morning, it can only mean one thing: Race Day. But with weather predictions for sunshine and temps in the 50s, I hit the snooze button far less times than normal. Besides, that medal wasn’t going to earn itself. Spring Classic is a common race on my spring calendar thanks to the great support and swag provided by Why Racing. This year the event was back…

With the flowers starting to bloom in my neighborhood, I have been finding myself thinking about the movie Elf. Specifically the part when Buddy is so excited about Santa coming to visit the kids in the department store. “Santa!!! I know him!” Buddy declares.
