What I saw on my summer vacation
Laura and I just returned from Washington, D.C., a trip we’d planned more than a year.

Beginnings
I’ve been an on-again, off-again runner for just over 15 years now (yikes!). It began as preparation for US Army Basic Training. I had three months to get ready and knew I would be running a lot once I was in, so I needed to be ready. So off I went on my first run [...]
