I am breaking no new ground by telling you that there is not enough time in the day for all of the things I would like to get done. It is a challenge that most of us suffer from. My approach to 2017 is to find those things that overlap several interests. Bonus points given … Continue reading Secret weapon: Thursday Night Dance Party!

Top 10 Reasons I Run the Tough Mudder (and why you should too). Part 1 of 2
Everywhere I turn these days there's a promotion for a new race.
