posted May 20, 2011 at 1:22am

For a moment, the big yellow ball in the sky frightened me. Not as much as the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz and Wicked (which tend to give me nightmares), but this bright orb caused a momentary panic. Then I remembered — it’s only the sun. It’...more

The difference between morning and evening runs
by Run Girl Run
posted May 17, 2011 at 2:11pm

This weekend I just wasn't in the mood to run, so I didn't. I spent a lot of time relaxing, hanging out with my mom who was in town and spending some time with friends, and not once did I feel guilty about not running. This mental break from such rigoro...more
