My First Thanksgiving Day Race

Yesterday’s Flying Feather 4-mile race in Westerville, OH was a lot of fun! There were nearly 2,000 people entered in the event. With two other turkey day races in the Central Ohio area, I can’t believe this one attracted that many entrants! […]

Cold or Rain – But Not Both

I know! I know! I am ocassionally a hypocrite. I am a big proponent of walking outside in all types of weather. If you walk outside regularly, you get acclimated and then it doesn’t feel so cold or hot. Then you can […]
