Don’t call it a comeback. The runner in me never left. He just had to wake up. It had been 10 long years since I last ran a half marathon, even longer for a five-mile jaunt. But there I was…
Earlier this week, the co-leaders from November Project-New Orleans presented me with the Positivity Award, which is given out to a member who isn’t necessarily the fastest or loudest, but is a steady influence at workouts and does his or…
