A new year, a new blank slate… and tons of opportunities to set up goals and resolutions. Or not. I didn’t really set a lot of ‘set in stone’ goals for myself in 2016 (and I surely did not post them on the blog for you all to judge me...

For the Friday Five 2.0 Linkup with Running on Happy and Fairytales and Fitness, we’re sharing a gift guide for athletes. Some people are hard to shop for, but I dare to say that athletes are not those kinds of people. There is always something useful that you can get...

Another Tuesday to link up with Erika, Patty, and Marcia for Tuesdays on the Run. Today we’re talking about race memorabilia. Do you display it? Toss? Repurpose?
