A Day In The Life: 12.12.12

I would like to say that so many readers have asked me what a typical day is like for me, and how I juggle my days as a runner, writer, and lawyer.

That’s not the case.

In fact, no one has asked.

Given that, this post is probably more for me than it is for you.  I would like to be able to look back from time to time and see what a typical day was like for me at some point in the recent past so that I can compare, seek guidance, and hopefully see how far I’ve come.
