I am sitting at my desk researching summer course offerings at local colleges. It is likely the first step in the process to “going back to school”… or whatever that means. I am not sure yet. What I do know is that if I actually take the leap, I will not squander the opportunity as […]
The running community is a truly amazing thing. You already know that running is a way to improve your health, challenge yourself mentally and physically and spend time with friends (new and old).

If I had to make a Top Ten list of things that I find frustrating about my profession, this one would have to make the top three. Everyone always wants to know where you went to school. I’m not talking about being asked on a job application, in an interview, or even when meeting with […]
