A Rainy Alanton Mile
Not ideal conditions for today’s Alanton Mile, but it proved to be a lot of fun anyway. Good friend Tim was race director for the local elementary school event and had asked a couple of days ago if I’d be running. I figured it would be a good test of my current speed and also [...]
Autism Awareness 5k
After last weeks 17:39 at the Run for Independence 5k I was keen to get out there and go for something a bit quicker – especially as things are definitely hotting up at the #tweet5k! I ran my usual 2 mile warm up, felt pretty good throughout and finished off with some fast strides and [...]

Running Tough By Michael Sandrock
