Gotta love Yogi Berra. So here I am again. In the last days before Nationals in Kelowna. It’s a year later and some things are the different, some things have changed, and lots has happened in between. A week after Kelowna last year, knowing it would more than likely be my big race again, I sat …

The Pursuit of Happyness was on TV this weekend… Had a good week of recovery after two tough weeks during Spring Break. Looking forward to the EV stage race Easter weekend and getting back to some more running after some ankle issues. Time to go get it. Period.
