More on Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Dysfunction and Running
I've been getting a lot of questions about SI joint dysfunction lately. Before I post,  I just want to explain that I am not a doctor nor do I consider myself an expert in sacroiliac joint dysfunction. I am simply explaining what I know (scratch...[Read on]
Ottawa Marathon: Change of Plans
After battling sacroiliac joint issues all spring, along with insomnia/sleeplessness for the past few weeks, I have decided (after many conversations with Houston) not to run the Ottawa marathon. This spring I have gotten really strong, but I have yet to...[Read on]
Praying to the Turnover Gods
I've had two S.I. episodes this week, but the last one was not near as bad as the first so I feel like I'm headlong back in the right direction. I saw Jack Weimer for an hour, I did strength everyday. I'm running a large amount of miles, and with the exce...[Read on]

Bump in the road.
I would love to blog about my awesome race last weekend in B'ham and how I finally got down under 1:19 in the half, but unfortunately then I would be lying.With the exception of 13.1 miles I ran on Sunday morning, the weekend was a nice get away. I got a ...[Read on]

Rocket City Marathon Race Recap

Funny Marathon Signs
Still haven't blogged on my last race. It's funny that when it goes well, we take forever to write a recap.Because I have really no idea what to expect from my body next Saturday, I thought I would share a couple of marathon sign funnies. Most of you have...[Read on]
Canadian National Cross (Pre-Race)
I "raced" in spikes for the first time since college this past Saturday at a small cross-country race in Clinton, MS. With National Cross one week away, I ran the race as a tempo. Still, I wasn't confident in my ability to hammer out 7k on a muddy XC cour...[Read on]
