Chefs for Kids 5K

I dragged myself out of bed and went downstairs to let Jade The Boxer outside to take care of her morning business.  Rain was sprinkling.  Las Vegas was under a high wind warning, with sustained gusts of 25-40 MPH, bursts up [...]

Coyote Springs Trail Runs

On Sunday I ran the 10K at the Coyote Springs Trail Runs. I went to this race with no pre-conceived ideas of performance or time.
