It is a new month and upon me, is a new race! Well, not exactly a new race, but a new race for me because I’ve never done it before, and I’m excited about it! There isn’t any race I go in without any sort of excitement attached to it, or else why would I…
Going into the Leona Divide 50 Mile, my body wasn’t feeling 100%. Recently, I’ve been experiencing a weird sensation on the outside of my left leg; below the hip and above the knee. It doesn’t hurt when I run. It doesn’t hurt at all. No pain whatsoever, but something is there. I can feel something…

Well, well, well…what do we have here? Another month trying to duck past me and it thinks that I wouldn’t see it. Well, it worked because I didn’t. One day it was November 1st and the next thing I know it’s Thanksgiving, and now we’re one day away from the final month of the year!…
